Bring on the slew of negative stereo-types, but down in MS this is not even a question. Shooting them is an excellent way to keep them out of your garden, and with some fresh vegetables, they make a good stew. This might not be quite a viable option in very dense urban areas, so perhaps the best defense is to focus on providing an alternate habitat for them, or just plant extra knowing that some will go to wildlife.

omg, thank you for posting this! I just found a couch similar to this style of headboard and have been searching for a good tutorial on how to re-upholster it! This is excellent and very informative!

I thought the whole point of making the cold-brew coffee (the over night method) was that it didn't activate the oils that make coffee bitter (like when it is brewed with hot water). It seems like this method of cooling down hot coffee would negate the benefits of the less bitter cold brew.

Super cute! In college I would use mason jars to bring my coffee to class (with normal lids). It was super convenient, since I could just throw it in my backpack and bike over without having to worry about spilling hot coffee on myself at every bump in the road. Veslabeachgirl is right though, cozies are a necessity, the glass would get really hot to the touch if you pour in a hot liquid.

That is really neat, and I've thought about doing something like this to an old carpet. Do you have to worry about the edges fraying?

When re-doing our rental house while in college, simply changing the ugly beige plastic light and socket covers to cheep but great looking metal ones that I found at Lowes made a huge difference!
