Trees. Strangely trees played a big part in our decision...we looked at newer, more expensive neighborhoods (in the Denver suburbs) but the trees were all newly planted. There were no ...

Congratulations, from a foster mom of Colorado Greyhound Adoption!! Is your greyhound into stuffed animals, like so many of them are?

At the end of the hallway, where it looks like the hall veers off to the left, put in a *large* mirror to reflect light and appear bigger...?

You can compost it...

You bet! An 1890s Victorian in a small town full of nice people. Unfortunately there are no jobs in that said small town...

It'd be much cheaper to buy a chic headboard than to pay the $25,000 hospital bill you'll get when that cement headboard falls on you some night when you get a little amorous....

I second the Good Gone recommendation; it gets everything.

When a toilet is flushed, the water from inside sprays into the air in a fine mist. In this case, the urine-and-feces contaminated mist will settle onto those books. Not my idea of good reading...

My 85 pound greyhound -- a real sweetie -- has a bark that will scare the skin off of any burgler. Good thing they don't know he's a wimp!

The oak, claw-foot table I grew up eating on...so that I can remember what it felt like to have my now-deceased dad at the head of the table and all of us kids gathered around.

This is an excellent idea -- wasps are dangerous to those of us who have family members who will die if stung.

Between my two book-geek kids and myself, also a book geek, we usually have 30-50 books and/or movies borrowed from the library at any one time. It's a great way to be green, of cours...

Just got this from the library yesterday; very cool, and gave me some ideas for my home garden ... on a smaller scale than most of the gardens in the book, though! Also just got "Edens Lost and Fou...

Paint the entire mirror a matching (or contrasting) color to the wall??

Sticky mouse traps; put them down where you see a lot of spiders, the spiders get stuck.

Here's an idea similar to the one I mentioned above...this "path" used broken pots, bricks, and even trash. The idea I saw in a mazine was just broken pottery pieces, syharp-side down of course:

Broken clay pots can also be used to create a path; save up your broken pots, and when you have enough for whatever walkway you want to create, break them into smaller pieces and put down as a path...

Don't chop...you are depriving others of the chance to see their beauty, too.

Steak on the grill

Landscaping will be your cheapest bet...you can hide some of the brick with trees, vines, etc.
