A few years ago I found myself in a situation not too different from your own. I was setting up housekeeping for the first time on my own and naturally I wanted to have a home that was envied by all of my friends and neighbors. The only problem was that I had no clue where to start. It all seemed to be so overwhelming and because I had moved away from my family I really didn't have anyone to help me.
I picked up several well known home and gardening magazines and while some of them passed on a few clues, none of them really imparted all of the complete information I needed.
That's when it hit me
If I couldn't find a comprehensive guide on setting up a complete home, then why not create my own? I was tired of flipping back and forth through tons of books for the few bits of information that could help me; but I reasoned that if I put all those little tidbits of info together then I might actually be able to begin understanding the secrets to creating a complete home.
The next morning I furiously began to read through all of the home books that I had purchased over the past months and take down the pertinent notes. I didn't stop there either. I swallowed my pride and enlisted the help of my neighbors to discover what they were doing that resulted in such beautiful and complete homes.
It took awhile to sort through all of the information I had gathered and compile the notes I received from the experts I consulted, but when I was finished I sat back and was completely stunned.
Right here in front of me was the information that I had been seeking all along
From the notes I had taken from several articles on the subject of setting up a complete home, as well as my own experiments, I had comprised a comprehensive compendium on the subject of establishing a home.
