working on our decor..I am assuming moving furniture is ok?.. We are also wondering about hanging things on the walls- it seems like folks used fabric to good effect in past Ohanas..

Moving furniture is usually not a problem. We took apart one of the beds in our room last year and used the mattresses to make a sort of couch-looking thing out of the other bed.

Do pay attention to how something is put together if you have to take something apart, it is not always obvious the next morning how to put it back together.

And keep a plan B in mind because I have seen in some rooms things bolted to walls rendering the furniture item in question unmovable.

For attaching stuff to walls, get lots of these:

Of course, blue painters tape works too.

The basic rules apply.... do as little damage to your room as possible. Clean up after yourself. Have a plan for setup and breakdown and make sure you give yourself enough time for both and then add 30 minutes to each.

And it can't be said enough times.... have fun and don't overwork yourself, before during, or after. You are on vacation and there to have a good time. Volunteering to be a Room Host, officially or not, doesn't mean you have to skip any of the fun yourself.
