I know going dark can be a drastic jump when you are used to such a light wall color, but...a deep, dark, rich plum color might tie in nicely with both the trim and the rug, and also make your blue...

I hope you all don't forget Japan's other great bathroom, the Aquarium Toilet .

Andrea - keep it up! You may have to get a grow light to help it out. I've been told that even though these like the sun, they also like being kept cool, so maybe a north facing window with a gro...

Good morning - You know, I have not yet tried this, but I have had a bit of experience with both clamshells and oyster shells and I think morebo75 has a very good point. In rem...

This reminds me of another company I wish would open a store in NYC: Manufactum.

Tyler also supplied the furniture sources - the sectional is from Restoration Hardware's outdoor furniture line. The umbrella was ordered through www.patioumbrellas.com and the planters are from P...

Kronan bikes have just hit the U.S. and also are worth a look. They run about $600 and seem to be extremely well built, comfortable, and include a back rack and also a bike pump. You can check th...

whytephoenix - I think you are right, asparagus fern!

Georgia hardiness zones run from 6-8. These grasses all seem to be fine for zones 5-9, so you should be fine. You could aslo contact the growers that are listed on the Dave's Garden website (link...

MÄTTPLLANTGUII It was a lot more fun when I tried this with my last name!

One solution which does cost a bit, but would give you some privacy, is a 'top down bottom up Roman shade'. If it is just one window, and you have a few dollars set aside, it may be a worthy inves...

Good point guys - I wasn't considering the urban people who have been gardening for many years (just the ones who never did and the first timers)! You know, I also grew up gardening al...

itsabecky - that's so true! And more in the spirit of the Greenmarket! Also, the moving service I used was RVS. The man's name is Ray and he is efficient. I have used him for a numb...

Thanks, bubble! And apologies to the Geico Cavemen... :) I seriously do see many people wielding flowers about at the markets, though, and think they must just have the good fortune o...

That first pic - Even better would be if the water used in the sink then drained over and was used by the toilet ~

Wow. I had no idea I was so popular in India...

Beautiful - I want them!

SeanG, I agree, these can get expensive. Conran has rectangular polyresin planters. But again, expensive. And they don't seem to have sizes on their website! And not sure of the qu...

Oh - and a note about the lamium, it's actually hardy. I always want to pinch some of theirs because more than likely it won't be kept for the following year, and it is super easy to grow from cli...

If it makes you feel better, these plants are put in the planter after they are already grown to a large size - they are not seedlings by any means, and won't be crowding each other much more than ...
