To the best of my knowledge these 'Tetra Pak' style cartons are composed of several layers of paper, foil, and plastic. While technically recyclable, the sandwich of materials won't be handled in ...

I use a retractable washing line, something like this . The line coils into the unit which ...

What about something like these ? Clean and simple when not in use, e.g. no logs to gather dust and cobwebs, and a somewha...

I've just finished doing just that in the living room, and its turned out rather well if I do say so myself. I went with a fairly vivid green, patterned, paper on the one wall and a very pale grey...
