			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When floor space is at a minimum in your home or apartment, one way to make the most use of the area is by purchasing space saving dining room furniture. There are actually a number of different options to choose from, ranging from tables that can be expanded when necessary, to entire units that can fold down and serve other purposes when not being used for dining. Below are some note-worthy examples of great space efficient dining options that may be ideal for your living arrangements.<span id="more-29"></span></p>
<p>The first option to consider is a dining room set that comes complete with a removable center leaf for the table. This handy and unique design can be a great space saver, especially if you have a smaller dining room, or have a combination living room and dining room area. With most furniture pieces similar to this, the table can easily accommodate four table settings without the leaf. When the beautiful center leaf is added, the table immediately is ready to provide ample space for up to six people. Some designs also have the possibility of a second removable leaf, making it possible to squeeze in up to ten people if necessary. Since the removable leaf can be stored easily in a closet or under a bed, you have the convenience of a big table when you need it, without your space feeling crowded the rest of the time.</p>
<p>Drop-leaf tables are another popular example of space saving dining room furniture. Tables of this type may include a drop leaf positioned on one or two of the long sides of the table. This design can be especially good for small apartments, since the table can be placed along a wall or behind a sofa floated in middle of the room. The collapsed table can be flanked by a couple of dining chairs to create a pleasant and intimate dining spot for two. When needed, the table is pulled away from the sofa or wall, the leaves extended and secured in place, and you have an ideal eating space for sit down dinner parties or a nice buffet.</p>
<p>Modular furniture options also include space saving dining room furniture. One interesting contemporary design calls for seating that is actually housed under the table unit itself. Equipped with leaves that retract rather than collapse, the table appears to be quite small when not in use. Instead of chairs, two benches fit neatly under the table, making it possible to place the entire set along one wall with ease. When needed, the leaves are pulled out and up to snap into place with the main section of tabletop, and the two benches are pulled out from under the table and placed along the long sides of the unit. Efficiency apartments in particular can make use of this simple yet effective design.</p>
<p>Of course, you may not be interested in any dining room furniture that tucks, retracts, or folds. Instead, you may simply want something that will fit the scale of your room. When that is the case, you may want to consider something with very simple lines and a slightly smaller table size. One good choice that will fit in with many different types of décor is a simple Shaker table for two. The simple lines lend themselves well to traditional or contemporary rooms, and the smaller table will be sufficient for two place settings. Another advantage of a simplistic design of this nature is that it is easy to keep the set clean, since there are no intricately carved nooks or crannies to collect dust.</p>
<p>The choice of materials is almost as important as the space efficient qualities of any dining room furniture you choose. While wood is a common option for any type of dining room furniture, you may want to consider other options as well. Glass and wrought iron may be good choices if you have a small space that is somewhat eclectic in design. Metal is also an option that can add a different texture to the space, helping to create additional visual interest. Tabletops made with marble or granite can accomplish the same goal. Even synthetic materials that mimic the look of natural wood or stone may be options you want to consider, depending on your general décor and the space you have to work with.</p>
<p>Cost is also an important factor when choosing any type of space saving dining room furniture. Do not automatically assume that a smaller table and chairs will cost less than a larger set. Depending on the materials used for the construction of the pieces, and the detail put into the design, you may just spend just as much on smaller sets as you would on the larger pieces. Fortunately, there are many different designs and options to choose from, so chances are you can find something that will fit into your budget with relative ease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look around your area. Scout for available raw materials. There are many other ways of increasing your income even while at home. Just be creative, resourceful and diligent enough to explore them.</p>
<p>1. GARDENING &#8211; You don&#8217;t have to be an agriculture graduate to engage in planting vegetables or propagating ornamental plants. Grow vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, and tomatoes in your backyard. In that manner, you don&#8217;t have to buy vegetables for your table use. That saves, you money. And is not saving a form of earning, too? If you have more than enough for home consumption, sell your vegetables to your neighbors. They will certainly appreciate and buy fresh, newly harvested vegetables. Gardening is a good exercise for maintaining physical and mental health; vegetables are good for the body as they contain high nutritional value. What more can you ask?<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>As regards to ornamental plants, try propagating them by seeds, guttings, or by the processes called grafting and marcotting. Ornamental plants are very salable. Do you know that one pot of poinsettia plant costs as high as 20 dollars?</p>
<p>Orchids are very much in demand, too. There area number of varieties of ornamental plants which you can grow and sell. For information about selecting, propagating and caring of ornamental plants, you can consult several government agencies and a number of garden clubs which abound in the country.</p>
<p>2. GATHER DRIFTWOOD &#8211; Speaking of ornaments, you can also increase your income by gathering driftwood near rivers and ponds or stumps in the forests or in farms where many trees abound. These are commonly used in decorating indoor and outdoor rock gardens. Driftwood and stumps command high prices. There is a woman in Orlando, Florida who sells one piece of stump, with some vines clinging to it, at a price as high as two hundred dollars. You don&#8217;t need a capital in this home industry. Just capitalize on your diligence, resourcefulness, creativity, and drops of sweat.</p>
<p>3. MAKE BAMBOO AND COCONUT CRAFTS &#8211; Are you living in a community where coconut trees and bamboo plants are plentiful? If you are, then turn coconuts and bamboos into cash. Out of coconuts, you can make several articles such as coconut shell bank, ashtray, handbags and many others. You can sell them through gift shops and other stores. Midribs of coconut leaves can also be made into beautiful fruit trays and placemats.</p>
<p>For acquisition of know-how in making these items, you can seek the help of industrial arts teachers and vocational education instructors in schools near your place or through the internet. Or better still, invite vocational teachers to hold crash training programs in your community and teach you various trades and handicrafts. Your town mates will appreciate you for that. They surely know, and are willing to teach you, the rudiments of the trade. Like coconuts, bamboos are also well-rounded materials. With simple hand tools, you can make bamboo banks, ash trays, flower vases, fans, laminated handbags, tables and chairs. Another product, called bamboo chimes, is very much appreciated. It emits beautiful sounds as swayed by the wind. It is placed near doors and windows.</p>
