Choose a color that will go well with your furniture so that you do not need to buy new furniture just to make everything match. Instead of buying a new couch or new upholstery, drape the couch with a nice blanket or purchase a slipcover. Picture frames are cheap and photos make the room look homey.

We decided to buy an Amish-made desk. This choice meant that I had to work from the couch, and that I didn’t have any place to put my office supplies. Sitting on the couch, with my project list, a handy pen, and other items strewn about haphazardly just doesn’t really say “work” to me. Get Organized'

If you want to save money, in almost any area of life, it makes sense to work with what you have rather than trying to change what you already have. If you have a couch that is still in serviceable condition but is no longer stylish, consider getting it reupholstered or even using a well fitting cover. Wanting those things is okay.

Perhaps the parent’s allow the kids to use the couch as a trampoline and you heartily disapprove. You can ask them to not sit on the table, not jump on the couch or to turn off the lights when they leave a room… your house… different rules. It isn’t (usually) the grandparent’s role to set the rules.

This past weekend, I woke up late, switched to the couch, and stayed there for the vast majority of the day. Also, since I had been a couch potato all day, I knew I should get to the gym. I generally like working out, but working out when I’m not motivated makes me resent it. Try to make the reward match the goal.
