Create Your Own Space

It’s your time. Take it. Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

Get out of the kitchen and find a new domain. This week we challenge you to find a place at home to call your own — anywhere but the kitchen.

You can use an office, guest bedroom, or anywhere else you want to claim as your own. It might not be the beach, but this can be a getaway you don't have to feel guilty about.

Here are some steps for converting an old space into something personal:

1. Remove any old furniture.
2. Paint the walls (and get rid of any old wallpaper).
3. Buy new furniture.
4. Decorate
5. Enjoy

Here's to making some space for yourself!
