We are a family with two young kids living in the southern parts of Tasmania,Australia and we do not own a clothes dryer. In winter we manage our clothes drying with indoor drying racks and for our larger items we simply hang on coat hangers and hang up on our curtain rods doorways etc, then when done they go straight into our wardrobe and if we can be bothered we may iron, but normally they dont need it as with the hanging up the wrinkles have dropped out. Yay less time doing the washing- less money spent on power bills and as a bonus we feel "green"! x

I love this project, but am planning on attaching it to the wall as they are pretty heavy and dont want my kids getting squished if it falls down x

Agreed! silly to have a before and after that arent from the same angle. It makes me think of those trick mirrors at the circus one makes you skinny and the next makes you a shortie!

Our kale has just survived a pretty nasty winter (southern australia) with some severe frosts and is still kicking along now into spring. We have been using it in stir frys and fritattas etc, pretty much any dish which uses spinach we use kale. Earlier in the spring we had some aphids, but I removed with sudsy water and gloves, quite satisfying really and worked a treat on my roses too

This looked lovely in my loungeroom and was a real bargain find. Unfortunately it is a bit of a tricky one when it comes to assembly, so if you are no good at a rubiks cube or have no patience sit this one out!!!

I am fairly sure that this design is by Aussie gardener Jamie Durie. He is all about making your garden/outdoor space an extra "room" of your house. You might have seen him on Oprah making over a whole bunch of balconies that could be seen from the Harpo offices.
