Wow! We're coming down the home stretch. This is really the last full week of work in your home. Next week's focus will be on getting ready for your housewarming party.

Maxwell christened this week's chapter "Sacred Space" for good reason. Taking care of yourself here can have considerable impact on your life. Factor in the four R's -- rest, rejuvenation, relaxation and recreation -- when you're working in your bedroom this week. You might want to try moving the tv, as well as any work out, of your bedroom this week and see how your sleep patterns change. For inspiration, we're posting some bedrooms you may already know from hanging out here on AT - those of your editors!
