How Could You Not Love Black Friday?I'm a Jersey Girl at heart and there was nothing better than East Coast Black Friday back in the 80's, 90s and early 2000's. The Hollish women saw Black Friday as a sport and with our 6-foot+ wing spans, we could hold our own no matter how crowded it was on Black Friday.I have cherished memories of those days, including: - $100 off all boots for 1-hour only from 5AM-6AM requiring us to fend off other  buyers to get the styles and sizes we wanted. Boy, could we box out the competition!- Taking our receipts to get free DVD recorders for every $75 spent in the store. Each man in the family received a DVD player that year.- My sister opening a store credit card to get extra all-day savings and deciding to buy every single person in our family a winter coa...

On the one hand, the house has distinctive features that give it personality even without any furniture or decor in the rooms. On the other hand, modernizing and tailoring the area to your unique interests can be challenging. The less easily interchangeable structural components of homes constructed in the late 1800s can feel just as confining as the popcorn ceilings and carpeted bathrooms of more recent decades. It can be stressful when you want to make significant changes, but everything leads toward renovations and pricey installs. Although it may seem nearly impossible to significantly alter the general appearance of a room without ...
