I must have missed the past stories, but I saw a link on Green Car Advisor this morning highlighting the Ecodomo floor and wall leather tiles made from scraps left over from BMW leather upholstery....
I have gourds all over. It was a lousy summer for growing more with a cool Spring; 5 plants only yielded two gourds.
The larger "birdhouse" gourds clean up nicely and you can "tone" t...
I never can figure out how to lounge on a couch without bolstered arms. I manage ok in a bed, but when I lay out on a couch, I need the "headboard" effect of arms.
Most of those pillows look uncomfortable. I hate sitting at a dining room table with not enough room between my knees and the table, and some of these pillows would add way too much height. And the...
Is there a real stream down there? It looks "constructed".
The trend around here is to daylight and rehab streams; I wouldn't think much of the idea of building a "Fallingwater" house ...
I grew up in a corner house that, until I became a teen and we moved, had vacant lots on either side.
Lots of corner lots seem to have large "exposed" yards, but little in the way of ...
Don't worry all that much about future buyers. No matter what you do, chances are they won't like it (after all, you bought this house and you don't much like the kitchen).
So do what...
My RN source switched jobs and I've worn out the few "medical waste" or surgical towels passed along to me. They were terrific.
Now I buy terry bar towels from Costco. A big pack last...
You could make similar, albeit plastic, lamps out of the innards of old hot tub filters. They appear to be lengths of PVC pipe with holes drilled in them. It's not difficult to whack the ends off w...
This is great; I may have to go buy a couple of bales (they are only $2 around here for the real "farmer" ones (not the Halloween copies). I usually have a few around for my compost walls but I'm o...
I saw a "flame" light fixture in a bar in Rome a few years back.
As near as I could tell, it was a sconce type fixture with a fan integrated underneath the bulb socket - maybe colored ...
I think the addition of a small wooden porch covering the existing steps would set the entry way off nicely.
Something that goes to the right edge of the entry bumpout, and still is a...
I have two hammocks, one in our shade house and one under a high deck outside a basement patio door. Very comfy, and I've been thinking of bringing one inside for the winter.
They need...

The Frye is a great museum. And it's free too. Even has some free parking.

I presoak my dirty dishes in my toilet tank. (hey, it could happen).

I put a splash of vinegar in every load. I doubt that it'd help much on the shoe spam above.

The orange milk crate is a bit more like dorm therapy than apartment therapy I'm afraid. The old wire basket has possibilities though.
Stunning, yes, but too dark for me I'm afraid. Especially this time of the year as we begin to lose the light.
I like the Burt one (and the Berkus ones too). The others may look better in person, but they just seem a bit off.
