We have moved over 40 times and I made a few decisions in setting up a new house.
1. Put the everyday dishes all around the dishwasher - not across the room. It is quicker and easier to unload dishwasher when you don't have to run all over the kitchen.
2. When you first move in and don't have all the boxes unpacked (and it will be a little while before you have time to do it), stack them up in a vacant corner, put a sheet over them and place a vase of flowers on the top. It looks as presentable as possible and you don't have to look at the clutter.
3. If you have a mar, chip or crack on your tile floor and it will be a while before you can replace it, match up the color with paint, clean up the place and put a little paint in it. It won't be so noticeable. You may have to do this every so often, but it saves you money while you "get it together".
4. In like manner, if your grout around your toilet is discolored, buy some "Wite Out" and paint it - especially if company's coming.
I know you have found suitable cover ups for problems, let me know for my benefit too.
