She's gone,she's taken her half and your half also NOW what do you do?
Ok so maybe it’s not so dire....your company has you relocating, downsizing or you've suffered through the loss of a spouse. Either way,
Ok so maybe it’s not so dire....your company has you relocating, downsizing or you've suffered through the loss of a spouse. Either way,
You've earned the right to live beyond the futon, beer fridge & foil covered windows!
So what if during the marriage you never bought a towel or made the bed and have no clue where to buy furniture?
You’re a working man you don't have time for errors, you want the job done well and you deserve to live in a style that shows off your accomplishments.

If you opt to keep the matrimonial home, here are some design tips to refresh your post divorce pad.
· Paint: To effect real, yet subtle change.
· Redecorate the bedroom: Buy new bedding, add new pillows and incorporate masculine or feminine touches as desired.
· If it’s in your budget, get a smaller dining table or bigger chairs – anything that will draw less attention to the empty seat where your spouse once sat.
· If kids are in the picture, be diplomatic when expunging memories of someone they still love. Relocate family pictures to a corner of the house that you don’t walk past 10 times a day or put them in the kids’ rooms, but don’t remove them outright.
