Call homeless shelters to see if they need clothes. Drop off clothes with your local religious institution. Go online to donate unique types of clothing."
article: Unless you plan to mail off your clothes to an online-only donation organization, it's best to stick with local donation centers. This will make it easier to transport the clothing. To find a local spot, type "clothing donation centers near me" or "clothing donation centers in Seattle" into your favorite search engine. Most cities and even smaller towns have Goodwills. Goodwill is an excellent option for donation. They'll accept all your items, and they put most of their profits back into job-training and employment programs for struggling workers in the United States. You can also find Salvation Army in most cities and towns in the United States. They may be best for families with really large donations, as they can pick up your clothes from your home. If you have homeless shelters in your area, give them a call. This may be a great way to get your clothing to people who need it most, right away. Call before dropping clothes off, however, as there may be better times for the shelter to handle drop-offs. You should also call shelters for women and children who are victims of abuse, especially if you have professional women or children's clothing. If you belong to a religious organization, they're likely involved in a running donation program. Check to see if they accept clothing, and when you can drop it off. If you have prom and wedding dresses, tuxedos, and older professional clothing lying around your closet, look for specialized organizations online. There are lots of foundations that are dedicated to collecting and selling just one type of clothing. For prom dresses, try Fairy Godmothers Inc. For wedding gowns, visit the website of Brides Across America. For professional clothing, use Dress for Success (for women) or Career Gear.

article: Complementary colors, like blue and orange, yellow and purple, and red and green can work to your advantage. Add even more variety to your room by using complementary color families. For example, instead of using blue and orange in a room, diversity with navy, baby blue and cerulean complementing blood tangerine, rust, and coral. Use paint chips and color wheels to find your favorite shades. Though might be tempting to include all colors in your home, maintaining a general color scheme helps preserve consistency throughout. For example, if you have a blue and orange foyer, consider making blue one of the prominent color families on display in the next room, and having orange reappear later in your house. This also makes purchasing paint, furniture, and especially accessories easier, because they fit in multiple rooms. Just like colors need to be cohesive, patterns also need to have a cohesive structure within your home. Choose one or two stand-out patterns that appeal to you, and then stick to mainly solid colors to compliment those bolder styles. Common patterns for home decorating include thick stripes, gingham, quatrefoil, and animal print. Chevron and geometric patterns are recent hits.

08 x 10.16 cm) frame pieces to size with a mitre saw. Start the gate by cutting the top and bottom pieces to the same width/length as you planned for, slightly smaller than the opening in the fence. Cut the upright side planks about 3 inches shorter than the height of the gate. Drill a pilot hole for the screws before putting them in so that they do not split the wood. Fasten with deck screws, pre-drilling to keep the wood from splitting. Measure from the top bend to the opposite bottom corner. Both sides should measure the same. Typically, as you start assembling, the gate framing, it's good to lay it out on a flat surface, such as a patio or driveway. Attach the top and bottom rails to the side rails, making sure it is square. This helps maintain strength and rigidity. Connect these to the frame boards that match the rest of the fence by using deck screws, pre-drilling as before. Make your diagonal cut with a mitre saw. Place the diagonal onto the box and trance with a pencil where the angles go. Place the cross-brace at a 45 degree angle extending from the bottom corner of the gate to the opposite corner of the top of the gate. Once you've designed the frame and built it, all you need to do now is attach flat planks evenly over the front of the frame to finish your basic wooden gate. Measure planks from the top to the bottom of the frame and cut them accordingly. Leave at least inch between the planks for weather allowances. Cut planks using a table saw and secure them using deck screws, drilling pilot holes to keep your planks nice and clean.
