My daughter has been complaining to me about our sofa in the living room. It’s already sixteen years old (the sofa), and it definitely needs replacement. My daughter said that she hesitates to invite her friends over to our house because of our old and somehow rotten sala set. As a single working mom, I haven’t got the time to improve the look of our house. But since my daughter took notice of it, well it’s time that I should take a look in my own house and see what improvement it needs.
Starting off with our sofa set. My daughter suggested a store that is owned by her classmates’ uncle. Her classmate said that she already talked to her uncle and will personally assist us in choosing a good and cozy sofa at a discounted price. Well now, renovating our living room is done. Next on the list is the dining set, but I have to work overtime because I realized that almost all the areas in my house needs improvement.

Just recently, my aunt renovated her house specifically her doors and windows. A friend advised her to install more windows in her house to save energy and to imbibe brightness on her abode. I helped my aunt canvass for materials to be used in making the windows. We also scanned home improvement magazines to have an idea of what her windows and doors would look like.
She also plans to repaint her house after the doors and windows are done. She wants a brighter color to replace the previous light blue paint. I was kinda surprised when she chose light blue as the house’s major color because it was so dull. It is an opposite of her personality – she being a jolly and active person.

My mom plans to build kitchen cabinets in our kitchen to save space. More and more appliances are added and installed into our kitchen so we will be needing more space for them. We didn’t hire someone to do the job so we are all contributing into building those kitchen cabinets. I, my mom and my sister will go to the hardware and kitchen appliance stores to gather ideas on how our kitchen cabinets would look like. My dad and my brother will do the working. Us girls of course, will support them while doing the cabinets. 
The whole afternoon of Saturday and the morning of Sunday was spent by our family in doing the cabinets. Just a few finishing touches and painting, and the cabinets are good to go. But then tomorrow is the start of work week, so the kitchen cabinets will be finished by next week.

It’s Friday and there’s no school tomorrow. But we have a research paper to be passed next week so my classmate Anne will spend that Friday night in my room to finish the paper together. Anne noticed that my room is dim and it’s because of the lights that I use which is and incandescent bulb. Anne advised me to use fluorescent lamp instead of what I am currently using. Besides the fact that it gives a much brighter light, it also saves energy compared to the incandescent bulb. That same night, I asked my brother to buy me a fluorescent light to replace the one in my room.
My mom, realizing that all the bedrooms in our house including the bathroom downstairs, have incandescent bulbs as light, asked my brother also to purchase some more fluorescent lamps for the said rooms.
