Converting a Bedroom to a Closet...On the Cheap?
Good Questions
Q: I live in Chicago and my husband and I are moving from our giant split level in Bucktown into an apt in West Town that has "victorian" bedrooms. On the one hand there are 3 bedrooms but on the other hand they are SMALL, like incredibly tiny, so we're going to be converting one into a closet. But, it's a rental so I'm trying to do it on the cheap...
...and I really don't have a lot of DIY skillz so I'm reaching out to see if you guys can help me with suggestions, ideas, thoughts, a place to buy a lot of garment racks for cheap.....THANKS

Install an IKEA PAX system.
I would say check out Ikea's GORM system. I saw it recently while I was there and was shocked at how cheap it was! It's very simple too, so you could easily customize it with paint or colorful bins, fabric, etc... I believe it's cheaper than PAX (although not as nice I don't think), so it might work well for a rental situation.
Dry cleaning suppliers have great rolling racks-
I would go with Elfa components from the Container Store. They can be installed with a minimal number of holes if you used the hanging track system. They are infinitely customizable and you can take them with you when you move.
Can we see that photo please? Please post a larger version.
I second the Elfa storage solution. You can also get it in the freestanding option so there is zero drilling holes in the wall. It's more expensive than the Ikea solution though.
"Can we see that photo please? Please post a larger version."
That's not the OP's closet...
That's a stock photo of a Poliform closet system installation.
I would love to have enough room to put dressers and a closet system in another room. That's the ultimate BEDroom.! Good luck with your project. Just make sure your system is something you can take with you when you leave!
for the garment racks, go to home depot, and buy some pre-measured 3/4" lengths of threaded water pipe (either galvanized or black finish.) Also buy an assortment of "L" and "T" couplings. Then, like tinker toys, build yourself some heavy duty custom racks. When you are ready to move on, just unscrew them. I guarantee this will be heavier duty than anything you would buy from Ikea or the Container Store.
A menu for a 6' tall, 8' long rack would require 2 @ "T" couplings, 2 @ "L" couplings, 2 @ 6' length, and 1 @ 8' length. You can probably figure out how to piece it together from the menu....
If it doesn't work out, the pieces are a breeze to return. Since the pieces are pre-measured, you don't have to worry about cutting or damaging them.
Good luck!
Syntax error there. The diameter of the pipe is 3/4" -- buy various lengths of this diameter.
i have one room that is 6 feet wide and 11 feet long and the house only had 4 tiny closets, so i turned that room into a dressing room.
i have one of these
it's fitted with drawers in the bottom.
then i put one of these along the rest of the wall
with wire shelving over it to hold my hats!
i just bought a 1930s-looking vanity table that needs a lot of work and i'm going to paint it white and put it in that room with all my makeup.
i love my dressing room!
Lucky you!
I just did this to a spare room in my house. I took one of the walls that was 8 feet wide and placed a dresser in the middle with a tall mirror on top. Across the top I put a shelf that spans the whole width of the wall and along the sides of the dresser I have put smaller shelves about 3 feet wide with brackets that can hold a clothing rod. It's working perfectly and cost only about $50. I bought all my shelves and brackets at our local Menards.
if you can put a long bar on your shortest wall, you can just get a wooden closet rod (or 1.5" wooden curtain rod) and two wall-mounted brackets for it, and cut your rod to fit. we did this for my roommate and it cost about $25.
i'm hoping to do this to a small room soon, as well. i'm going to put a small dresser under the rod, making the space above the dresser for short hanging like shirts, and the rest of the space for long hanging.
for non-hanging, i'm eyeing the EXPEDIT large shelf from ikea for folded stuff, and possibly some BILLY bookshelves as well. i used the EXPEDIT in college as my only dresser, and i loooooved it. i'm not good about putting things away, and being able to just shove it back on a shelf somehow kept me neater!
bookshelves also give you the space above them for out of season boxes or boots.
I would go with simple rods and shelves in case you need it to be a bedroom again someday.
Elfa componants are pretty expensive, depending on your idea of "on the cheap." I recently used an Elfa catalog to design my dream closet but went to Ikea and spent a third of what the Elfa system cost. I cast my vote for the Ikea wardrobes. Since the entire room will be the closet I suggest leaving the doors off .
A few years ago I worked at The Container Store and became enamored with Elfa during that time. Yes, it is pricey (in my opinion) but it will last much longer than most other options out there. That being said it is an obvious choice for those who are looking for an affordable permanent option. For renters who can afford it (which even I am not) it's great because it requires very few holes, is fully customizable for your space, and you can take the system with you and do something completely different. When I worked there we had people bring in old parts and we would help them do a design for their new space keeping in mind the parts they already had on hand. Often we would cut old pieces to fit new places as well. Also, if you can wait a few months everything goes on sale in January so you can get it at about 30% off.

Kinetic Rock n Roll Trainer w/Road Resistance Unit $0.00
Dance on those pedals!
"Road feel" is what just about every indoor trainer chases in some fashion. It makes sense, as most of us prefer riding outside. Most companies use a weighted flywheel along with some kind of magnetic or fluid resistance to give you that elusive feeling. A few use a computer program to create the magnetic resistance. Only Kinetic by Kurt employs a resistance unit and frame designed to mimic the natural movement of riding out on the open road. They put both parts together in the Rock and Roll Trainer.
Kinetic answers the resistance issue with their Road Resistance Unit. The roller itself is the first part of the solution. It's made of stainless steel and is 2.5in (6.35cm) in diameter, which is a good bit larger than much of the competition. The larger roller means less wear on your tire and it reduces the temperature of the spinning elements. The right side has a 6.25-pound (2.84kg) flywheel, the heaviest around, which is what gives the feeling of momentum when you're spinning up to speed, holding speed, and slowing down. On the left side is a unique two-part resistance unit, which is the heart of their system.
The resistance unit is unique as it's made of two parts. The first is the driver made of a small flywheel embedded with six rare-earth magnets. The other half is a completely sealed cast-aluminum fluid chamber that is bolted to the housing containing the driver. The fluid chamber contains an impeller with corresponding magnets. As you ride, the magnets in the driver spin the impeller through medical-grade silicone fluid to provide the resistance. And since there is no drive shaft entering the fluid chamber, the Kinetic design eliminates a common design weakness of most fluid-resistance units.
Of course, the system builds heat; your energy has to go somewhere (in this case friction). However, the fluid acts as a coolant and the chamber has 80 cooling fins on the outside that act like radiator fins. It's impossible to overheat the chamber or reach a point where performance is diminished. The silicone fluid retains its physical properties, even up to the normal operating temperature of 325˚ F when riding 25mph.
There are several benefits to this system. Because it doesn't overheat, the viscosity of the fluid doesn't change, and that results in a consistent road-like power curve that increases as your speed increases. They've even published a chart to show exactly what speed goes with how many watts. To give you an example, it takes 143w to ride at 15mph, 258w at 20mph, and 25mph will take 430 watts.
You've certainly noticed that the Rock and Roll Trainer doesn't have the traditional dual triangle frame that most stationary trainers have. That's because they want the bike to be free to sway and bob. Instead, Kinetic builds it with an ultra-wide footprint on the bottom for stability. Then the resistance unit and support legs for the bike are mounted atop a beefy set of plates that sandwich two sets of two elastomers. This spring-loaded arrangement allows the bike to sway up to 15˚ laterally and bob up and down a bit, just like you'd feel on the road. Kinetic by Kurt recommends buying their Turntable Riser Ring to go with this trainer. This is, as it suggests, a riser that is mounted on a "Lazy Susan" type turntable so your front wheel can turn or sway.
There are many reasons for wanting "road feel" on your trainer. Seated riding is one thing, but standing on the pedals to accelerate or sprint or stretch your legs are basic cycling acts that are weird and uncomfortable on traditional stationary trainers. Here, you can stand out of the saddle and come very close to the feeling and the power produced when standing on the bike when riding outside. But it's more than just this. Having the bike move underneath you on the trainer will help maintain the core muscles that you use when you ride outside. This way, your first springtime ride will be natural and comfortable, and you'll have the upper body control necessary for long base miles without excessive muscles soreness.
The Rock and Roll Trainer can accommodate 24in to 29in wheels as sold here. The clamp assembly is designed to work with axles up to 160mm in width, and it uses a knob on the left side to dial down the axle adjuster and a cam on the right to lock the wheel in place when mounting the bike.
Kinetic makes a bike computer that can show power as you're riding the unit. It's sold separately, but it's an easy addition if you want to track your wattage as you train inside. The trainer comes with a quick release skewer that's matched against the cone cups that hold the bike in place. And because the Rock and Roll is all about balance, they suggest placing the rear wheel right in the middle of the roller.
Kinetic by Kurt is so bullish on their technology that the Rock and Roll Trainer comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty. In assembled form it is 42in wide, but the legs can be inserted so the width is 36in to better fit in narrow spaces. The legs can be pulled apart and the unit returned to its box (which measures 27in x 24in x 10in) for easier storage.

Indispensible piece if you train
Troy Barry
Member since
This has been a much appreciated piece in my winter training regiment. At first I wondered if the rock-n-roll would make a differance, it does. It really allows me to feel like I am on my bike and not just fixed to my trainer. (I also have the matching turntable riser ring to help this feel). The platform is pretty wide so you will need some good space to set this up but once you find its home the stability of the base when rocking side to side when standing is indispensible. Really, this is a game changer for doing intervals when the temps outside just are not cooperating. I have also started using the Kinetic trainer tires and it has made the unit even quieter and my good outside tires don't get worn out on my trainer - check their tires out.
I use this for base training starting in December and spend alot of time sitting near 225 Watts for a month and then start upping the Watts in February through March. One very noticable feature the unit has is the with increased speed you put out increased Watts withought having to go through your whole cassette to get there. I really like this progressive nature of the consistent road-like power curve that increases as your speed increases. See the Chart for yourself here - http://www.kurtkinetic.com/documents/Power_Curves419.pdf
This really works well.
I am using the Road Machine right now as I am on the road for work traveling with my bike and trainer. This is a great option as well, but does not even compare to the Rock-N-Roll. I will add a review soon on the Road Machine after I use it for awhile.
The best trainer I have ever used.

I love this trainer as much as any person can love a trainer (slightly above total hatred). It is super solid and secure, yet it allows you to move from side to side. That coupled with the heavy flywheel make the ride much more like it would be if you were out on the road. I have used mine for over 3 years now and it has been super solid. Get it if you have to train indoors.

Hi there ! Does the warranty cover...

Hi there ! Does the warranty cover internationally or does it have some places close by your country or state where you can claim for that ? or in the worst of the cases would be send it back to you? thanks any advice would be appreciated :)

BA Drama and Literature (including Year Abroad) allows you to follow modules in drama and literature, so you can study a wide range of dramatic texts, from Ancient Greek times to the present day, and develop an understanding of the principal developments in European Theatre. There is also the opportunity to spend your third year abroad.
You benefit from our Lakeside Theatre at our Colchester Campus, which has been established as a major venue for good drama, known for a commitment to new writing for the stage. Not only do many professional touring companies bring their productions of new plays to our Lakeside Theatre but there has been a wealth of new work produced by our own staff and students. An essential element of our Lakeside Theatre's programme has been the opportunity it gives you to write or direct new plays, as well as re-define classics and re-discover neglected masterpieces.
Our Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies at Essex is a unique literary conservatoire that offers talented students the support and confidence to respond both critically and artistically to their academic study. This distinctive environment is possible because we are a community of award-winning writers, film-makers and theatre-makers, as well as leading academic specialists. Our courses span the globe: our expertise is geographical as well as chronological, practical as well as theoretical. At Essex you don't just study English Literature, you study world literature in English. This breaks down barriers and liberates us to take you on a comparative journey of discovery across literature, screen and stage.
Through drama, you can become anyone, anywhere, at anytime. By understanding drama, you can learn to understand anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Plays often capture the essence of a culture or a group within that culture. They reveal the attitudes and opinions of their day.
Drama plays a major role in our lives. We all experience 'real life' drama in the form of our own personal experiences as well as 'real life' drama in the news and current affairs. We are also exposed to fictional drama in film, on television, and in the theatre. By studying drama's impact on our culture, you start to look more critically at what these media offer us and can choose whether or not to accept the messages that they give. By studying drama, you become intelligent spectators who can distinguish between good and bad drama as well as 'right' and 'wrong' ideologies. You can start making informed decisions about the drama that you see.
If you are studying within our Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies, then you will have access to a range of exceptional facilities to enhance your learning and research, including our Lakeside Theatre.
Over the past three decades, our Lakeside Theatre at our Colchester Campus has been established as a major venue, known for a commitment to new writing for the stage. Not only do many professional touring companies bring their productions of new plays here but there has been a wealth of new work produced by our own staff and students.
An essential element of our Lakeside Theatre's programme has been the opportunity it has given students to write or direct new plays, as well as re-define classics and re-discover neglected masterpieces.
Within our Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies, we operate an exchange scheme with universities in Denmark, France, Finland, Greece, Germany, Spain, and Italy (the ERASMUS programme), which you can apply to follow in your second year. This period of time abroad offers a host of benefits, including the opportunity to view the world (and literature) from another perspective. The nine-month course of study, from October to June, spent abroad, carries full recognition of your assessment for that year and counts towards your final degree result.
The special characteristics of our courses are flexibility and choice. In your first year, you usually take four or five modules that include pre-requisite(s) for your course but, in many cases, mean you can try subjects you have not come across before. If you are taking a humanities or social science, then you have the greatest choice, as most of our first-year modules do not assume any specialist knowledge.
With a small number of exceptions, if you successfully complete the first year of your BA, then you are qualified to enter the second year of that course and a range of other courses: for example, if you take economics, politics, philosophy and sociology, then you have a choice of at least nine possible single or joint honours courses at the end of your first year. This means you can change your course, providing you have taken the appropriate pre-requisites and places are available. We offer a range of optional modules in your second- and final-years and most courses allow you to undertake a final-year project, an individual piece of research on a topic that interests you.
We operate a credit framework for our awards, which is based on principles widely used across the UK university sector. Each module has a credit rating attached and our standard three-year course consists of 360 credits (120 credits in your first year, and 240 credits across your second and final years).
Please note that module information on our course finder provides a guide to course content and may be subject to review on an annual basis.

As a new undergraduate, you may find university-level learning, assessment and studying differs to school or college. Here at Essex, we understand and recognise this by having support in place, particularly during your first year when you may notice the change more.
If you are studying a non-science subject, then your teaching mainly takes the form of lectures and classes, the latter involving about 20 students. A typical timetable includes a one-hour lecture and a one-hour class for each of your four modules every week. Any language classes involve language laboratory sessions.
First-year assessment is a combination of written coursework, end-of-term tests, practical and laboratory work (where appropriate) and end-of-year exams.
At Essex we subscribe to a concept known as 'Assessment for Learning'. This means that the ways in which we assess you are not designed solely for the purpose of assessing, but also to provide learning experiences in themselves.
Our methods of assessment for drama are many and varied. Drama is assessed mostly through a rich variety of coursework assignments which include both practical performance and written work, such as devised practical pieces, performances of extant texts, presentations, scripts, portfolios, dissertations, rehearsed readings, and written essays.
Within our Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies, all of our courses are assessed in the same way. Your final mark for each module is determined half by coursework and half by examination. To reflect the importance placed on the acquisition of key skills, a mark for class participation is included in your coursework mark.
A degree in drama enables you to develop the graduate capabilities that employers value. You learn how to communicate with confidence, both orally and in writing. Our strong practical component equips you with the subject-related skills for degree-level employment.
Our graduates go on to become highly-regarded professionals in the cultural industries. Many now teach at all levels of the education system, while others progress to further research in drama and related subjects. Several graduates have become stage managers at venues across the UK, while others find work in varied areas including journalism, press relations, television production, magazine editing, copywriting, industry, commerce and law.
At Essex we take your employability seriously, helping you become a rounded individual with the ability to succeed, whatever your plans. You'll find your department works with our Employability and Careers Centre to inform you about options to study or work overseas, your Faculty Employability Coordinator finds degree-related work placements, and our Students' Unions ensures that, annually, over 700 students volunteer and more than 4,000 get involved in sports, clubs and societies.
At Essex you can gain new skills that look good on your CV, like paid placements through our frontrunners scheme, graduate-level paid internships, and opportunities to develop discipline-specific skills as part of your studies.
We help you understand your skills, and how to demonstrate these to an employer. You can get our extra-curricular employability award – the Big Essex Award – recorded on your transcript, receive one-to-one advice on careers, use our Essex CV guides on applying for work, learn from famous entrepreneurs and take part in workshops, and meet employers through on-campus events.
We develop your employability through fantastic opportunities, and give you the tools to explore the meaning of your unique experiences, so you are ready for your future.
Here at Essex, our students can undertake period of study or work abroad specifically tailored to his/her academic interests and future career plans. You are taught and assessed by your host university, so assessment may be in the form of written papers, oral or written exams, lab or project work, research, or work-based learning. All successfully completed pre-approved modules will be credited towards your Essex degree.
Study abroad is an excellent opportunity for personal development. It affords you the chance to become immersed in another culture over a sustained period, coming to know a country and its people in a way that you could not hope to as a tourist. It is also an opportunity to experience a different educational system and develop different skills. You learn to view the world (and your academic discipline) from another perspective, becoming more independent and confident.
Study abroad also enhances your employability. It helps your CV stand out from other candidates and signals to an employer that you have maturity, adaptability and organisational skills. As the world of business is becoming increasingly international, the experience of living abroad is, in itself, attractive to many employers. Depending upon your study abroad destination, you may also gain fluency in another language, which is a highly attractive skill to have as you enter the employment market.
If you are interested in learning another language then our Languages for All programme enables you to study a language, alongside your course, at no extra cost. You can take one of 50 taught language modules on a part-time day-time basis, or undertake flexible web-based learning, or opt for a language module taught in the evening. As employers can struggle to find graduates able to speak more than one language, Languages for All places Essex graduates in a very advantageous position.
Within our Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies, we offer taught Masters courses and research supervision for PhD, MPhil and MA by dissertation. All our MAs can be taken either full-time for one year or part-time over two years. There is normally considerable freedom for you to choose the topics of your essays and dissertation. Where appropriate, films, plays or pieces of creative writing can be submitted as your dissertation.
Our staff offer a wide range of expertise in different literatures and various approaches to literature, covering most aspects of early modern and modern writing in English, plus a number of other languages.

The city of Davis should show its support for smart growth by approving an innovative housing, retail and office project on the long-dormant site of an old cannery off the citys main east-west street.
The project makes sense for a city and region that is concerned about urban sprawl onto prime farmland. As it is envisioned, the project would be an example of infill within city limits, and provide housing in a university town that needs it.
As The Sacramento Bees Hudson Sangree and Darrell Smith wrote recently, the project would include small eateries and artisan food vendors, a bike loop and 547 single-family homes and apartments of varied types on roughly 100 acres.
The property owner, ConAgra, and developer The New Home Co., propose 19 acres of park and open space, including a 7-acre farm, organic, of course. There would be retail and office space so people could work near where they live.
Families with school-age children often look to Davis, knowing the public schools are top-flight. But they quickly realize that they are priced out of the housing market and settle in Woodland or other towns.
Houses would run from $350,000 to almost $800,000. The high-end would hardly be affordable for young families. But the project offers a possibility that some families might find homes. Developers also plan to pay attention to the needs of a graying population by including some small single-story homes without yards.
A concrete slab and steel gate is all thats left of the tomato processing plant. Its the last large parcel in Davis not zoned for agriculture or open space. That means it could be developed without a vote of the residents, although project opponents threaten a referendum if the council approves the development.
Some critics say they hope the site could be used for manufacturing. The region could use factory jobs. But while the cannery is close to rail line, there is no easy way to transport goods to Interstates 5 or 80, or the airport.
As its configured, the project would include two exits for vehicles, and one undercrossing for bicycles and pedestrians. As many a 9,800 vehicles a day would use the intersections.
Davis Mayor Joe Krovoza has been trying to persuade the developers to construct additional paths under Davis main east-west street, Covell Boulevard, for bikes and foot traffic. His ideas are worthy, but not if they make the project financially unviable.
Cannery developers promise to pay special attention to energy efficiency, as the citys environment-conscious residents should expect. Toward this end, the developers ought to pay special heed to foot and pedal power.
Californians have seen too many developers bulldoze local officials, turning prime farmland into shoddy developments that dont live up to their promises. No one could accuse the developers of ramming through approval of the Cannery project.
The Davis planning commission will hold another hearing this week. The City Council is expected to take up the development in hearings in October and November. The Davis Enterprise and the online Davis Vanguard have been running lengthy reports detailing all aspects of the project. Democracy is alive and well in Davis.
The old Hunt-Wesson cannery closed in 1999. Fourteen seasons later, the city is coming close to approving a replacement. Davis leaders and residents should seize the opportunity, and provide a model for developments elsewhere in the region.

Yoshihiro's Bird Roost Bungalow
House Tour
Name: Yoshihiro Makino, Yuka Izutsu, Shimpei Yashima
Location: Pasadena, CA
Size: 2000 sq. ft.
Years lived in: 2 years
Yoshihiro, Yuka and Shimpei live and work altogether in this wide open Pasadena home where art, craft and an affinity for the midcentury aesthetic are all merged together into a beautiful hodge podge of bohemian-style modernism where all three can find inspiration for their creative work. Oh, and did we mention a rescued dove and pigeon navigate and happily live with the household of photographer, illustrator and graphic designer who also call the textured and warm hued space a home?
AT Survey:
My/Our style: Midcentury modern in bungalow type of house.
Inspiration: We were inspired by the Midcentury aesthetic.
Favorite Element: high ceiling, top light, big windows, lots of green outside.
Biggest Challenge: having two working spaces and living space in the same room without destroying the atmosphere which the house originally has.
What Friends Say: They love it, it's a perfect artistic studio and home for a photographer (me), an illustrator (Yuka), and graphic designer (Shimpei).
Biggest Embarrassment: the design will not allow for the installation of an air-conditioner.
Proudest DIY: the spiral stairs in the guest room. Te guest room used to be a stable 50 years ago. And we renovated whole room to be a studio space.
Best advice: Paint the whole outside walls to be black or grey to make it look like more modern architecture. Or paint the wall inside of the house to be more white or beige to brighten up the interior.
Dream source: Case study houses, Mark Brazier-Jones, I want to combine both of midcentury modern and new art essences into our home.
Resources: OSH, Ikea, art supply store, vintage finds.
Furniture: eBay, Floorplan in North Hollywood, DWR, flea market, El Paso on Sepluveda Blvd in West Los Angeles.
Accessories: Marimekko, Kim Seybert, Barney's NewYork Interior section, Flea Market, Ebay, the antique stores where we run into give us happy accidents.
Lighting: eBay, Rose Bowl Flea Market, DRW
Rugs and Carpets: Pasadena Rug Mart, the best!!
Window Treatments: My friend, an architect.
Artwork: Things we create, and our friends's.
Other: Our pet, Pyururu (male) and Morli (female) white pigeon and dove. We rescued in Hollywood and Pasadena.
Thanks, Yoshihiro!

Really lovely, shades of the Eames House, very inspiring.
This is one cool, ecclectic, organic, and fun pad. I will be bookmarking this one for many future references! Thanks so much and enjoy your space! I'm jealous....
definitely cool & cozy space with lots of visual interest. the rescued dove looks very happy!
Beautiful piano. Lovely space. Good mix.
Dreamy and original. Everything about it is unique, including the combination of people who live there. And the birds!
You can feel the creative energy here. I like the earthiness to the overall space. Its a very cool building!
Thanks for the rescue, the bird looks happy.
It's very lovely---what a sweet bird by the way
Beautiful space. However, forgive me for being crass, but I have to ask... what about the poop? I love the idea of having birds that just hang out in the house, but are they house trained? How do you house train a dove/pigeon? Birdie diapers?
Please humour me :)
@thehalfie that was my thought exactly!
My family used to nurse the occasional rescued/injured bird, and to put it bluntly, they have no ability to control themselves - this is a physical thing, not about house-training.
Cosy home, bit too much brown for my liking but you have some beautiful objects, and it all goes together well.
This has so much 'mind'! I really don't know how else to put it but the entire house (structure, interior and exterior, vertical and interstitial space not just the floor plan) shows that thought and serenditpity both went into how the eye and the body would move through this space. Yes, this is an artists' home, controlled yet creative.
It's been a long time since I enjoyed a post so much, no offence to others ;-). There is so much unexpected detail here, so much 'time.' Beautiful space.
About the concern about birds:
As someone who has had a mynah for 13 years now, and many other rescued creatures in between, I would say that:
(1) there are ways of controlling and teaching them. Free-roaming parrots and other birds don't always soil all places. I'm not sure if you noticed the cage? It's useful and often the bird likes to rest or bawl in a smaller space....Mine does.
(2) Being unable to control themselves is a sign of trauma in animals, too. Yet, animals have a sense of surprising hygiene, when they are physically and mentally able to use it. Their health and survival would depend on it. I'm sure these birds and their humans have found a happy system.
Adding to some of the other great comments ("thought and serendipity," "organic"...) : whimsy. Makes you want to hang out here!
I think it's funny that the MCM stuff was highlighted in the post and comments (that's AT for you). It actually didn't jump out at me so much. What impressed me was how well the mid-century and modern was integrated with more traditional and cottage-type furnishings. The end result was warmly eclectic without seeming too studied.
It does have its own merits. Unfortunately really not my cup of tea!
Interesting space. The colors are far too muted for me, though. But to each his own...
I love places that have lots of interesting stuff helping to tell the story of the owner. I wouldn't call it mid-century modern. I think it is more artist retreat than modern glamour. I saw a fantastic eclectic home full of charm and ideas on www.heartanddesign.blogspot.com
@FigurativeSketches thanks for the input, interesting - we only nursed our rescues back to physical health, and let the family/flock do the rest - they did, but regardless of any concern for decor, anyone who gives an animal a break after tough times deserves utmost respect. ;)
Love the collection- can anyone source that bench or something similar for cheap? I've been looking for months!
I agree that the colors are muted...but that's what stands out to me, if that makes any sense. Also what makes it seem authentically vintage. Regardless - I love it, and I love that rescue bird on his little bed!
This is one of my absolute favorite house tours. Just perfect. Perfect!

Taj Cape Town is aware that everyone needs to do their part in ensuring that our scarce natural resources are preserved.
This is why the Taj Cape Town team is now undergoing training from EarthCheck in order to reduce the hotels carbon footprint as much as possible.EarthCheck is a next generation environmental certification and benchmarking organisation which uses a science-based approach to help the travel and tourism industry increase efficiencies, maximize guest experience and minimize environmental and social footprints.
Our recently certified EarthCheck Co-ordinator is currently putting together a "Green Team" made up of representatives for each of the hotels departments in order to motivate fellow colleagues as well as bring awareness to various initiatives now being implemented. More so, various valuable skills are now being learned that will assist the team in their current positions as well as providing both guests and staff with extensive knowledge and industry insight regarding sustainable practices. The team will also be responsible for record keeping, monitoring and detecting areas of improvement in the hotel.
Since 1997, EarthCheck has helped businesses, communities and governments enhance the environmental, economic and social sustainability of their tourism initiatives. They recognise that sustainable outcomes should benefit both the business and community by researching and developing the best solutions for conserving and caring for the planet.
There is already a sense of eagerness and excitement around the project and Taj Cape Town hopes to not only motivate our guests and staff but also the tourism sector in South Africa as a whole to join in. We would like to invite all to make a change and reignite a renewed interest in being innovative and sustainable in the workplace.
The Taj Cape Town offers luxury accommodation in Cape Town in heart of the city centre across the road from the beautiful Company gardens as well as within walking distance of many top Cape Town attractions.
For discerning guests who value the comfort, opulence and timeless style which are the hallmarks of the Taj Cape Town experience, the Hästens suite is a must when visiting Cape Town.
The Taj and Hästens brands have long been the global benchmark for luxury and high quality in the hospitality industry for more than a century. The Hästens Suite at Taj Cape Town best represents this ethos of surrounding guests with superb quality.
The family-owned company has been producing top-quality beds since the 1800s with the belief that beauty and functionality should go hand-in-hand. In a world of mass-produced beds, Hästens stands alone in its belief that there is only one way to create a true masterpiece. A team of skilled craftsmen have hand-crafted each bed in their historic facility in Köping, Sweden for more than 150 years.
Each handmade bed is also built bespoke to fit personal specifications using the finest natural materials from sustainably resourced cotton, woo and flax to genuine, hypoallergenic horsehair. Carefully selected Swedish pine – growing at a natural pace for maximum strength – and steel combine to provide the ultimate in comfort, support, quality and durability.
These natural materials results in Hästens beds offering a deeper, natural sleep which is more restorative and rejuvenating. Each product represents the Hästens passion for giving the world the best bed, and therefore the best sleep and a belief in the natural energy, improved mood, and greater health and happiness which benefits the truly rested.
Hästens have been purveyors to the Swedish Royal Court since 1952 and in 2010 Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces purchased a bed from Hästens for the Taj Mahal Palace's Tata Presidential Suite prior to President Barack Obama's arrival at the hotel. The Hästens store in Beverly Hills also sells vast amounts of Hästens to undisclosed celebrities and Hästens has even become a status symbol in Scandinavia, with bedroom doors left ajar simply to show off the iconic blue stripes which are unique to the brand.
The superior quality and meticulous attention to detail which goes into every Hästens bed is available to guests of Taj Cape Town who book our Hästens suite, the first of its kind in Africa.
The Taj Cape Town offers luxury accommodation in Cape Town in heart of the city centre. Guests of Taj Cape Town are welcome to enjoy a quintessential luxury experience and the best night of sleep in our dedicated Hästens suite. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.

"3 Massive Mistakes Professional Women Make is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to advance themselves with personal development. I believe you are worth any investment if you honestly want to grow and Angie is the right way to make this investment. Her knowledge clearly shows in the seminar."
Donna Burst, St. Louis
"My biggest takeaway from the 3 Massive Mistakes was the joy of being reminded that other people are successfully working on world change/balance one person at a time!"
"Amazing Seminar – I can't stop thinking about all the details and information received last evening. Thank you for your gracious and kind spirits!"
"I was impressed with the 3 Massive Mistakes workshop because it was so personally empowering and Angie was so real and down to earth. She didn't talk down to anyone, and that increased my trust. She showed a lot of vulnerability and personal honesty, which I really respected. Through the workshop, I was reminded about the goals, decisions and boundaries that I can so easily set in my business, but that I often ignore when dealing with my own personal needs. Angie promotes a type of personal empowerment that forces you to use the same type of personal honesty and vulnerability that she herself shows, in order to become less stressed personally and professionally. I highly recommend it!"
"I came to Angie because I was procrastinating in making major business decisions. I was avoiding conflict and not wanting to make a decision for fear of the unknown. I met Angie in my network, and I didn't consider a competitor. What I found most helpful about the process was that I felt completely at ease in confiding in Angie and I trusted the process. Angie explained very thoroughly and comfortably what the process consisted of and gave me the tools necessary to break through barriers in my mind. I gained the confidence to make game-changing decisions and face the tough tasks that I had been avoiding with my staffing needs for the agency. I have repositioned one employee and hired another two since meeting with Angie. My business is now on the right path to success, rather than being stuck in a rut before meeting with Angie. I attribute our hypnosis session as unlocking the power to allowing me to make the tough decisions and take the necessary risks in order to succeed. If you go in with an open mind and are committed to self-improvement, the value of meeting with Angie is immeasurable."
"Angie has helped me begin the journey to become the person I would like to be. Angie has a well developed gift for seeing through your nonsense and straight to the heart of the issue. Through hypnosis and other methods Angie is helping me walk through a journey to realize my dreams and to recognize my self-inflicted roadblocks. Angie is easy to talk to and very interesting in her own right. You really feel like you are just having coffee with an old friend, yet a friend who has the professional insight to guide your thought process into realizing that you have the tools you need to move forward and you are just not using those tools to the best of your ability. Many times Angie has called me out on one thing or another and really pushed me out of my box to make me stop and think about what I have just said and how it effects my business and family. Angie continuously strives to help me balance my desire to be successful and my absolute need to be the best father and husband I can be. That conflict rages on daily and Angie has been the one person to recognize this conflict and provide tools to help me cope with the struggle. I use the tools Angie has taught me every day to help resolve the conflict between work and family. I am a happier person now, not because I have become more successful, or a better dad, but simply because Angie has helped me realize what is happening and more importantly she has taught me to deal with it. We still have a long way to go but this a journey not a destination."
"Angela Monko has used EFT to help me take my life to a new and exciting level. She has the unique ability to get to the core issues of what was holding me back in my life. She used EFT to help me break down the false foundations that I had been building my life around. I thought that I was just talking with her about weight loss, but what I found were the core issues that kept the weight on, were also affecting many areas of my life. Angela is a compassionate and gifted coach. With the use of EFT Angela has shown me the ability to choose the life that I want, instead of my life being chosen for me by circumstances of the past. If you have dreams and desires in your life that you just can't seem to make come true, look at the EFT and talk with Angela. I highly recommend her as a coach, mentor and friend. The work that she does and the intuition that she has, combine to create a unique opportunity for you to get in life what you say you want. If you are not where you want to be in life, why not? If not now, when will you decide to get there? Work with Angela and create your best life NOW!!"
"With Angie's help through EFT, I was able to gain the confidence and focus I needed to face my fears in the ring and become a national karate champion. I am now able to use EFT to achieve goals in my personal relationships as well."
"I have known Angie since the 3rd grade. She is a born counselor, and highly intuitive, a bright light when all else seems dark. She has helped me in countless ways, many of them being through her amazing techniques with EFT. Thanks for everything, Angie, and all the best to you!"
"Angie helped me through EFT with forgiveness. I thought I had forgiven a man who had attacked me, but with EFT I realized I had only forgiven the boy who had been mistreated by his family. I had not forgiven the adult man, the stranger who chose to hurt me without any reason. Once I recognized this, I was able to let go of this distinction and forgive him. On another issue, I felt stuck and unable to let go of the resentment towards someone and forgive him. Angie helped me move through a process whereby I got in touch with a sub-personality (13 year old angry boy) who carried my anger and hostility towards people who cross my boundaries. I had denied my anger so often in these situations that this aspect of me had stayed hidden from myself. I had a dialogue with that part of me and embraced the wisdom he offered. Anger is healthy when we recognize it early and take appropriate action to speak up, stand our ground, or generally take care of ourselves when we are out of balance. Once I understood how my anger was trying to serve me, I easily forgave the person I was resenting. I gave myself permission to be more emotionally honest and in that way create stronger boundaries which are in my best interest."
"Hello Angie, I want to send an email and let you know how much EFT and your coaching skills have helped me in my personal life. I have spent years struggling to overcome some serious issues that have beaten me down and kept my self-esteem rock bottom. I have enjoyed our coaching time, and your compassion as a person, and hope that you are able to help many more people as you have helped me. Thanks so much for all the help!"
"We had our most recent personal session on October 30th, and after that my schedule was too hectic to listen back to it and tap along like I had planned. Then I began to notice how this huge shift in my sense of self-worth was taking place and it felt like someone lifting a blanket off of me or something. I felt it happening at the beginning of November, but I couldn't attribute the change to anything specific until I finally listened back to our Oct. 30th session and what we tapped on! After Tuesday's conference call, hearing you explain how EFT works vibrationally (it was good for me to hear that refresher), and then listening back to that session, I realized that was the cause of this huge shift! It feels GREAT. You really have a tremendous talent at this and I hope it leads you to financial abundance. To me, you're a wonderful example! Thank you so much for all your guidance and love."
"This was the best money I ever spent. I have been overweight most of my life and unhappy I thought because of that. I was in an abusive relationship and felt depressed most of the time. Now since working with Angie, I lost weight, was successful in leaving the abusive relationship and feel terrific. I accomplished all of this without expensive drugs that don't work or long term therapy. Angie coached me using her gift of intuition and other techniques that really work. She showed me how to believe in myself again and how to create an abundant, happy and fulfilling life. Because of my experience with Angie, I can now create and attract all the joy, abundance and wealth God meant for each one of us to have."
"I went to see Angie Monko for help with a fear of rejection or what I thought was a phone phobia. Having a home based business, I need to be able to make phone calls without fear. This has been a lifelong problem for me which I labeled 'calling reluctance'. After about an hour session with her, I was astonished to have discovered, that the real core issue I was dealing with was actually fear of success. My conscious mind wanted to be successful but my subconscious mind didn't feel it was safe because in the past, I had experienced an illness which caused defeat after success. Therefore, I was holding onto the belief, that success only leads to failure. I let go of the fear of success, and viola, like magic I was able to make my important calls without fear. All this from just one hour with Angie. Angie has a unique and intuitive method for finding out what's really going on! I am so grateful to her."
"I highly recommend participating in a class with Angie Monko & Lisa Rose; having done so, my life's perspective has been changed for the better---forever! They are unbelievably knowledgeable, selflessly generous, deeply convicted, honest, loving and amazingly positive people. It may sound like a cliche, but I truly think they have the insight on personal peace & happiness that goes beyond a depth that most are willing to offer. Do yourself a favor...try to spend some time with these ladies. If you want it to, your life will change because you did!"
"I really loved the class Angie and Lisa presented at CSL. I was standing in line to check out and the candy bar was yelling for me but I started tapping and by the time I was finished I had no desire for the candy bar. I let it stay on the shelf for somebody else. Thanks for the opportunity to learn a new response!"
"I work in a very stressful, demanding job which seemed to stress me out often. My past, unresolved conflict, etcetera kept me from being the peaceful, productive person I've always wanted to be. After meeting Angie and Lisa and participating in EFT classes, I noticed an instant change in my stress levels. I have been to many different psychologists and psychiatrists and never felt the positive shift that came about from a couple of sessions of tapping. Practicing EFT, I am now a calm, assured, productive person who can tap through issues and go forward in a very peaceful downstream manner. I feel so blessed to have had the privelege to have been taught by Angie and Lisa."
"Angie Monko's wonderfully intuitive facilitation style is incredibly helpful with EFT. With me, her penetrating questions helped me bring to consciousness several long-held limiting beliefs, which I was then able to resolve to a great degree during our phone call and tapping session. The best part is her compassionate, gentle voice allayed my fears with the process and emotions and helped me clear some family trauma I was sure was permanent. She also supported me with emails for the session and followed up. All of that ensured that I got the benefits not only of the session but also beyond in inspiration and willingness to keep up the tapping. She's a joy to work with!"
"This tapping class is very energizing and helps to retrain your energy pathways for better messages to yourself and healthier eating. I really enjoyed it."
"I had been in a difficult place for so long I'm not sure when or where it started. I found Angie on the Internet and contacted her immediately. Because of Angie, I believe that my life is important and that I am a gift of God. I had always believed that I was somehow broken and unable to be fixed. Angie helped me see and come to believe that that is not true. Angie stayed by me when I had given up. With her gentle but firm hand, she guided me back to get answers that I needed. She kept telling me that I had the answers in me already and that I just needed help finding them. She was right. Angie is intuitive and always seemed to know exactly what I needed. Was it a coincident that I found Angie on the Internet? Of course not. There are no coincidences, just the Universe bringing Angie to my rescue!"
"I am pleased with Angie and her approach to wellness. My energy was so blocked. I have been working with Angie, doing 1 to 1 coaching and EFT for about a month and a half, and I feel so much lighter in my body, mind and spirit. I have greater clarity and direction."
"After struggling with weight loss for over 25 years and only having a glimpse of awareness of an unconscious block, I knew Angie's hypnosis method would break through my self-barriers and make weight loss achievable. Angie is wise beyond her years. She facilitated self awareness and personal growth by leaps and bounds over every other weight loss program I have tried. Through hypnosis, along with her EFT method, what were once elusive goals were now achieved in a matter of weeks. I had success with using hypnosis in 1991 to quit smoking. That worked after one session. Food addiction is much a more complex and complicated issue. It encompasses every area of our lives, spiritual, physical, and emotional. She designed a formula that was personal to my situation and effective. Her professional opinions and easily performed tasks were sound and quite remarkable, making insight and personal growth much more quickly attainable. Also, she is a good coach who motivates gently. I am so happy she had a method that helped me to get unstuck and move closer to achieving my personal weight loss goals."
"Coaching with Angie has been a wonderful experience for me. With Angies love & support I am able to be more in control of my emotions. I have more confidence in the decisions that I make. I have learned how important it is to trust God. Coaching with Angie has been the best gift I have given to myself. She really cares about her clients."
"When I met Angie, I was feeling discouraged and hopeless in several areas of my life. I had been focusing on losing weight but discovered while working with Angie that the weight was tied to issues that I hadn't successfully dealt with. I was amazed at how quickly I refocused on what I wanted, not what I didn't want, and the weight began to fall off. She is an intuitive and gifted coach and mentor. Her integrity and professionalism helped move me through initial reluctance to commit to working with a coach. Also, I felt confident in her training & advanced certification in EFT and her certification in hypnotherapy. Working with Angie was the push I needed to take myself and my issues seriously. Most of all, after working with her the first time, I regained hope and that has been more than enough to motivate me to keep moving forward."
"Working with Angie is one of the best investments I have made in myself in a long time. I have worked with a few other EFT practitioners in the past, but I didn't feel the right connection. Angie's style, her ability to target and re-frame my issues, her honesty and encouragement have really resonated with me. She incorporates different techniques, beyond EFT, that I was pleasantly surprised to experience. I look forward to continuing my work with Angie so that I can be my best possible self in all aspects of my life."
"I was in quite a state the day of my EFT session with Angela. I was feeling as though my 5+ year relationship was about to be over and was spinning, not knowing where I was going to land. In one session, Angie was able to shift my energy and when my relationship did end(a mere hours later, I might add), I was understandably upset, but felt a sense of relief and calm through the process of ending things and moving on. I am much happier and the typical drama that is usually present during a break up, just wasn't there. What more can I say? EFT worked for me!"
"In my session with Angie, she used the "tapping" system. I have read about it, knew people like Jack Canfield endorsed it, but, I had not ever experienced it. This is one of those things that does not make "logical" sense, but in just one session, there certainly was something different as Angie processed the information with me. Like many people (not all, but many!) money is my friend, and at times, money has seemed to be a bit of an enemy. I had some negative beliefs around money that the tapping seemd to challenge and quiet! Pretty exciting! Angie was able to help me shift my belief around this. I'm impressed!"
"My session with Angie left me feeling inspired and capable. Her ability to walk me through the EFT steps over the phone was just amazing. I had heard so much about how extremely successful EFT is, but could never get myself to carry it out on my own. Angie is so thorough, clear, and patient. In one session I felt a strong breakthrough with the issue she worked on with me. She has also cleared up many questions I had had about self-hypnosis, with comfortable clarity. I am excited to brag about her to those who are seeking to rid themselves of stubborn issues that have blocked ones goals for years. HURRAY Angie! Thank you so much for your beautiful personality and abilities."
"I had been struggling with quitting cigarettes for months and was completely frustrated with my inability to stop. I was introduced to Angela and her smoking cessation program. I tried it, and have had solid results - no cravings I cannot handle, no overeating, and much to the delight of my wife, no grouchiness. I would recommend this program to anyone who is serious about quitting. The cost is reasonable. Angie, thanks again."
"With Angie's help through tapping I was able to focus my mind away from the negative energy and emotions I felt when dealing with a particular family member and center my thoughts and energy to a more positive place. The techniques she showed me have allowed me to minimize my anxiety instantly in situations that normally would have caused hours of distracting thoughts and emotions. It was truly a worthwhile experience."
"Angie Monko has helped me in ways I never thought I could be helped. The stress of a business and other personal situations are things I thought I just had to live with and cope with myself. I didn't know that there is a person like Angie Monko that can really make a difference in my life. Just one session with Angie and the power of tapping which you will learn in a session with her, literally lowered my stress level from a 10 to a 1, and the art of tapping has given me a new outlook on controlling many of my stress-related problems. I highly recommend Angie, not just for people who have major stress but anything major or minor you need help with. Give Angie a chance to work with you. You will not be sorry you did!"
"I was actually going to postpone my first session with Angela because I was stressing (how ironic) over a program I had to present that afternoon - last-minute change of venue meant I had to create all new visuals - eek! But her tapping technique for relaxing and releasing that stress turned out to be just what I needed. When we were finished, I was able to think much more clearly and creatively, designed the new visuals and had them executed with time to spare. I was still feeling the effects the following day when I had a second presentation in another city. My contact had given me the wrong location, so I arrived very last-minute. But again, felt totally relaxed, set up in plenty of time and the presentation went great. What a powerful new technique to add to my emotional tool kit! Thanks, Angela."
"In one phone call, Angie Monko talked me into a place of clarity, of understanding my own feelings which had temporarily high-jacked the driver's seat-- feelings that I had somehow been missing in my own consciousness work. Angie is enormously helpful, respectful, non-judgmental and encouraging. In addition to identifying problems, she can lead you to solutions--sometimes even immediate ones. I recommend her highly."
"Angie Monko is FANTASTIC with what she does! My tapping session with Angie left me feeling inspired and capable. Her ability to walk me through the EFT steps over the phone was just amazing. I had heard so much about how extremely successful EFT is, but could never get myself to carry it out on my own. Angie is so thorough, clear, and patient. In one session I felt a strong breakthrough with the issue she worked on with me. She also cleared up many questions I had about self-hypnosis, with comfortable clarity. I am excited to brag about her to those who are seeking to rid themselves of stubborn issues that have blocked their goals for years. HURRAY Angie! Thank you so much for your beautiful personality and abilities."
"Angie Monko is a terrific hypnotist and EFT coach and VERY patient, nonjudgemental, and supportive. I highly recommend her!!"
"My experience of Angie Monko's treatments have been of great benefit to my mental, physical and emotional health. Each treatment has left me with a lasting feeling of peace, calm and expansion. I highly recommend Angie and EFT to all that seek to transform their lives, body, mind and spirit."
"I recently attended Angie Monko's self Hypnosis series hosted by Harmony Harbor. Angie is very personable and has a natural gift of making her clients feel comfortable and at ease. She does an excellent job of explaining the process and provides all necessary support to achieve optimum results. Thank you Angie!"
"Hi Angie, Thank you so much for making me aware of the Self-Hypnosis class you offered this fall. I don't know if you recall how reluctant I was, back in the spring, to use anything other than EFT, but WOW! I am so glad that I have this new tool to add to my "bag of tricks". I love EFT, but I really think that the self-hypnosis touches on another layer when dealing with the mind and all of the things we hold on to. I think my biggest challenge is staying focused on one thing at a time. Although my big focus is weight loss, I decided to use it to work on not biting my nails, since it seemed less overwhelming. I actually went through the process, and I have noticed that I actually have stopped biting my nails! I need to do another round or two because every once in a while my fingers will automatically go to my mouth, but I am much more aware of it and I immediately take them away. I can't thank you enough for offering this class!"
"There is an unreplicable joy in discovering our best! Several months ago my good friend raved to me about the benefits of tapping (EFT). But it wasn't what she said about it that turned my earnest interest towards tapping as a practice for myself.... it was how her life began to shift, dramatically, as she cleared blockages and began to call into her life her deeper desires. Within a few days of when I made a firm resolution to add this technique to my arsenal of transformational tools, the ceaselessly amazing Universe did that serendipitous thing it does and masterfully conjured my re-introduction to Angie Monko, Emotional Freedom Technique Coach. After working with Angie myself, I prefer to call her Tapping (EFT) Alchemist! I am amazed with how much we shifted in such a small increment of time. Angie helped me tap through limiting beliefs and tap into unlimited possibility!"
"I would DEFINITELY recommend Angie! She is such a sweet and knowledgeable person who truly cares about helping others. She taught me the EFT Tapping Technique to help relieve some of my stress and anxiousness. I couldn't believe how fast, effective, and easy it was! Now I have a tool that I can use in my everyday life to help ease my stress and stay focused and productive at work. Thank you so much, Angie!"
"Hey Everyone! Wishing everyone health and happiness! If you are considering making some real changes in your life through EFT and/or hypnosis, Congrats! You have definitely come to the right place! I have worked with Angie over the phone for four months now! I prefer EFT. Angie is a great mentor, life coach and friend! She is very sweet, understanding, non judgmental, and honest. Her coaching is relevant and inspired by a higher power. Angie is totally CONNECTED. She has a gift. I would highly recommend her hypnosis or EFT coaching programs. She has helped me work through some of my oldest fears, past painful memories, improve my relationships, let go of my need to control and just an me overall sense of peace and well-being that LASTS! Angie is just so very pleasant to talk to! And I think I made a friend too! :-)"
"I contacted Harmony Harbor to try to quit smoking. I was concerned because I'd try to quit previously on my own many times but was unsuccessful. I chose Harmony Harbor over a competitor because Angie came highly recommended and took a complex approach to the solution which others did not. The part of the process I enjoyed the most was that Angie took a realistic approach to helping me deal with the problem. She addressed my concerns/questions throughout the process calmly, rationally, realistically. Angie's hypnosis and coaching has allowed me to be a non smoker for the first time in 30 years. My experience was a huge success. I am pleasantly surprised daily at how I have been able to remain smoke free."
"A spiritual void that I've been struggling with for a while prompted me to contact Harmony Harbor. I had a few concerns regarding finding a solution: finding a thorough and qualified individual, cost, and effectiveness of the method were my main concerns. After consulting with Angie over the phone, I felt that she would be able to help me, and so I chose her over other competitors. I feel like I am more aware and responsible for my own well-being, potential and happiness. The whole experience was very relaxing; there is so much to gain and so much potential in working with Angie."
"During and following my divorce I was dealing with issues of guilt and a new, complex family dynamic. I was concerned about seeking a solution because I wasn't sure I'd find someone I could trust and be comfortable with. I felt very comfortable with Angie and liked the idea of visualizing a better life for myself and family. What I find most enjoyable is Angie's genuine demeanor on a personal level and her quick delivery of my Action Plan right after the session, highlighting her professionalism. After working with Angie, I am very aware of what my needs are and I understand how to be true to myself while reaching out to others with genuine love, not anger. I try not to "assume" how others will react towards me anymore nor do I judge their actions as a flaw in myself. I am more confident and more calm in my personal relationships and this is helping me professionally. I had previously visited with "therapists" for marriage council. I often felt like I was part of a clinical process and not a valued person. Working with Angie was significantly different and that is why I continue to make Harmony Harbor part of my personal health plan."
"My name is Mimi and I'm 54. I sought out Angie after starting Medifast and losing 40lbs. I was wanting to transition off and had great concerns about doing this and not gaining the weight back. I met with Angie and we started our journey. We did tapping and hypnosis to learn how and why I felt this way. It was mostly about old beliefs and thoughts that I wasn't aware of. So we would tap them away and replace them with new and positive and empowering thoughts and ideas and beliefs. It was simple, easy and it worked. In hypnosis we did more of the same. I loved the hypnosis too.. The techniques worked at a much deeper level. I'd leave each time feeling stronger both mentally and physically. It gave me confidence. I had believed that I was too old, tired and out of shape to be able to do this. Angie proved me wrong. I'm down another 25lbs. I walk and run and even sprint. I don't crawl out of bed dreading the day. I spring out of bed,with a smile on my face and looked forward to what else I'll be able to do. I have gone from couch potato to working out most everyday. And love every minute of it. Angie showed me another way to look at things . It's life changing for the better."
"Nice read. I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. He actually bought me lunch since I found it for him! So let me rephrase: Thank you for lunch!"
"Your internet site is fantastic. Keep up the nice perform. I am going to surely come back to learn more."
"I contacted Harmony Harbor because of weight and relationship issues. I was concerned about trying hypnosis and tapping because I had tried them before and did not feel they made a difference. I chose Harmony Harbor over a competitor because Angie has a gift with tapping, and I like the type and way she does the hypnosis sessions. She gifted me a session to try out, and I saw immediate benefit and was convinced that Angie knew what she was doing. The part of the process I found most enjoyable was that Angie is flexible and easy going, and yet she challenged me without being pushy. Angie was able to explain any question I had honestly and thoroughly throughout the process. It was also a very educational experience. Angie's coaching and hypnosis have helped me accept myself, love myself and has made my life easier. I would encourage others to do sessions with Angie. I know that you will enjoy the experience and will benefit as well."
"Dear Angie, I very much appreciate the assistance you have provided to me to help me to better understand how to manage my thought processes so I can be more at ease with whatever circumstances may come my way. Your techniques and ability to communicate those techniques to help people to manage their emotions and thoughts are extraordinary, and I want you to know that I very much appreciate the manner in which you have dealt with me and my concerns. After just two sessions with you I was able to be more effective at focusing my feelings and thoughts to a more productive way of thinking, and for that I am most appreciative. If you feel my letter would be of some assistance to another person that may be concerned that you may not be able to supply the hoped for results, please feel free to use my letter in whatever way you feel necessary to help that person over their own fears. Thank you again for helping me to become an 'over-comer', and I look forward to working with you more in the future."
"Worrying about the past and not being able to let it go prompted me to contact Angie and Harmony Harbor. I was concerned about the amount of time it would take, the amount of money it would cost, and whether it would work. I have tried many things in the past that have not worked. I chose Angie over competitors because Angie came highly recommended by Malina Milosevich. What I found most helpful was Angie's positive attitude and her persistence to help no matter what. Angie always addressed all of my concerns/questions in less than 12 hours. Angie taught me techniques on how to begin forgiving people from the past. Angie really believed in me and helped me get deep and figure out what the real issues are and work to dissolve them. She persistently helped me to use the techniques to relieve stress and worry, and it has allowed me to be more productive with my day."
"I attended Angie's workshop on "Avoid the 3 Common Mistakes Divorced Moms Make That Keep Them Worn Out & Worried About Their Family's Future!" because I appreciate Angie's insight, and I'm always interested in learning how to better address circumstances in my life and relationships, especially since my marriage has been under extreme distress for many years, and I'd like to help my young adult children learn these life skills to better communicate and create a more rewarding life journey. At first I was concerned that I didn't have the time. I'm diligently working on different ways to grow, educate and seek the areas God is leading me toward so I need to prioritize my time and focal points so I'm not going in too many directions at the same time! It was well worth my time. I loved Everything about the workshop! I love how Angie shares her personal journey as an example to others of how things can develop in all our lives and also as a testimony of the power and necessity of living authentically, accepting and admitting our shortcomings/mistakes so we can find a better way. Diving into the ways our belief systems develop and can hinder us in daily living is great and foundational! All the tips she gave about our subconscious mind controlling our actions | there were so many things that were pertinent. Awareness is the first step to making changes and Angie offered significant information that is very useful. Angie reaffirmed some things that will help my young adult children as they think about ways they want to address hurdles in their lives. I also learned about some things hindering my marriage. I would definitely recommend this workshop to others because I believe Angie is very gifted at helping people learn how to better know themselves and offer useful tools to apply in life that can begin the process of creating a better life and relationships starting today. Also, she truly cares about making a difference and her heart shows through. It is very uplifting to know I have a resource in Angie to help others at a time when people are really struggling and often feel hopeless or simply stuck. This is a great program to help people understand the things that hinder them and help them find their way to making life more harmonious, which impacts families, marriages, children, communities, the workplace and the world! It all starts with us and Angie is sharing her gifts and expertise to bring peace and joy into our broken lives with God's loving guidance."
"I have been a fan of Angie's work for many years and love everything that she has done! I need to do a workshop similar to this, and seeing her do it so effortlessly was incredibly inspirational. I know lots of single moms are really struggling with these issues of feeling less than, guilty and overwhelmed. They can never have the relationships they were born to have until they heal their hearts and minds in this way! Angie laid out the plan for them very easily, succinctly, and safely to walk through this healing process. The 3 strategies will provide a relief to moms to know that answers are out there to their problems!!! I absolutely recommend Angie's workshop! I worked through these steps several years ago with my own healing team, and if it had not been for their love, support and wisdom, I would not be where I am today, inspired to help others heal and manifest the life of their dreams. We are all here for an amazing purpose, and the sooner we join together to release all the things that are holding us back, the sooner the whole world will change and transform, and the sooner we will create the happy joyful life that we all desire to have! Angie has been there and walks her talk! She knows from experience exactly what it feels like to be where her clients are, and she has an incredible program that will bring happy healthy and harmonious relationships back to all areas of their lives!"
"I had heard so many good things about Angie that I wanted to meet with her. I was dealing with some personal issues and thought she could help. I had talked with others about some of my personal issues but never felt that any strides were ever made to effectively deal with them. Angie came so highly recommended that I felt as though I had nothing to lose. I respect recommendations from others. At our first meeting, Angie uncovered a relationship issue that I was unaware was so much a part of my life for years...and now was gone. I never realized the impact that was having on my life. Angie is always very open to discussing freely any concerns I may be dealing with. The coaching has been such an eye opener that I'm still trying to get a grip on it. Angie has helped me to simplify my life and focus on what is really important. I would strongly encourage anyone who is struggling with personal (or business) issues and needs an objective ear to definitely contact Angie. She has a marvelous way of finding the real source of the issue and helping one to focus on that. It's been a real blessing to work with her."
"Anxiety and fear around relatively mundane operations prompted me to contact Harmony Harbor. My main struggle has been whether to live in the solution or the problem. I'm not so much concerned about money and time. Getting out of myself and familiar chaos has been a struggle. I met Angie and was instantly comfortable with her. I had also heard a testimonial that spoke to the professionalism and positivity that Harmony Harbor provides. I most enjoy the 1 on 1 counseling sessions. Angie does not have a problem calling me out on stuff and NOT holding it against me! Angie has addressed any questions or concerns quietly and respectfully. At no time have I ever felt coerced or judged. With Angie's guidance, I am now looking at my entire life experience differently. I have applied techniques and approaches Angie has taught me with family relationships, work relationships and in how I look at myself."
"What a amazing write up, I didn't sense that you may locate one thing underneath. A pleasant surprise, it occurs seldom, but the following we can speak of a real bonus value towards person who reads."
"Great site. A lot of useful information here. I am sending it to some pals and also sharing in social networks. And of course, thank you for your effort."

Regis Philbin Joins 'The Rachael Ray Show'
Former 'Live!' star lands monthly guest spot on daytime talk show
By TVDeeva Deanna Barnert Sep 18, 2012 2:04PM
Almost a year after leaving his post at "Live! With Regis and Kelly," Regis Philbin has landed a monthly gig with "The Rachael Ray Show." He'll be also returning to romance Betty White in the "Hot in Cleveland" premiere.
Bing: More about Regis Philbin | "The Rachael Ray Show"
"I can't tell you how excited I am that Regis will be a recurring special guest on our show this season," Ray said in a statement. "Regis has been a close friend of the show and a close friend of mine for years and it'll be a blast having him on the team."
Philbin, 81, recently told Larry King he left "Live! With Regis and Kelly" because he got bored with the repetition of doing daytime. It sounds like this lighter weight gig is more what he was looking for.
"I'm not a co-host, I'm just a guy showing up on her show once a month," Philbin told USA Today. "I love the idea. It's fun to be back on TV when you don't have to do it every day. I'm not gonna say I don't want to do your show! I think it's fun. I spent my whole life doing this."
What he didn't spend his life doing was cooking, so he's not likely to get in on many cooking segments with Ray, unless she gives him a lesson. "I can make a sandwich. Two pieces of bread and you lay a little cheese or something on there. Add some mustard. Bang! I've made some lunch!" he quipped. "I would love to let her teach me [so] that I could cook here at home and really surprise my wife."
As for Philbin's take on the newly launched "Live! With Kelly and Michael," he says he hasn't seen it, because he's started sleeping in for the first time in his life. (Apparently, he doesn't have TiVo.)
"I like Strahan a lot. I've known him for years," Philbin said. "He was a Giant here - in many ways. Had a big following with the New York Giants. He's very funny. He's got a great sense of humor. I haven't seen too much of the show. I haven't seen the opening. How is it?"
The former talk show king, who holds the Guinness World Record for the "Most Hours on U.S. Television," will return to daytime on Monday's episode of "The Rachael Ray Show."
He will also back on "Hot in Cleveland" as Betty White's love interest for the season premiere, set for Nov. 28.
"The last show was when Betty White discovered me, and I discovered her," Phibin told USA Today. "Everybody thinks I'm gay, and Betty White appeals to me."
"The Rachael Ray Show" airs weekdays in syndication.
