Labeling the house

Fabric paint is good for labeling things around the home.  It is easy to see, and if you want to change the labels later, you can just peel it off of plastic or tile.

Which switch goes to which light?  Which goes to the fan?  Now it's easy to remember.

I've color-coded the hangars by our back door.  Red is my younger son; blue is the older one; multi-colored is my honorary daughter.  I can tell at a glance which kids have their stuff ready for school.

You can buy fabric paint at a craft store.  I get most of mine from (of course) yard sales.
