Horrible.

Bugs will most definitely be living in there at some point or another, particularly roaches. Either they'll be brought in with the plants/soil, or they'll find their way in there. And no one should be spraying pesticides on their "kitchen table".

Light in most homes isn't sufficient to grow grass and most herbs, and this table will doubtfully be shoved right up against a window.

The depth is just sad, and if you overwater, you're in for a terrible stench.

If you have pets, especially cats, it'll probably be a pee pad in no time.

Nothing says Christmas like some black comedy such as "Santa's Slay" and "Hogfather".

Favorite Scene from "Hogfather"

Mother of Little Girl: You can’t give her that! It’s not safe!

Death as the Hogfather: It's a sword. They're not meant to be safe.

Mother of Little Girl: She's a child!

Death as the Hogfather: It's educational.

Mother of Little Girl: What if she cuts herself?

Death as the Hogfather: That will be an important lesson.

LOVE! I've also been tempted to use paper and protect it with contact paper, but I fear bubbles. I imagine you worked very carefully. Great job!

I think if you're a DIYer, you probably have all those things. However, there are a few things you can't really have too many of such as hammers, screwdrivers, tape measures, and scissors. Those items always go missing somewhere, so it's nice to have backups. I recently bought the Kobalt ratchet action screwdriver, and it's actually awesome! I was sorta surprised although maybe I shouldn't have been. Box cutters are another thing you can have multiples of.

For the record, I have 15 scissors in this house. I'm not sure where they all are, but I always know I'll come across one. And despite having so many scissors, I wouldn't mind if someone gave me a few more.

Love the PVC pipe wreath!

Pi - I'm pretty sure the $40 is for labor/time, listing cost, and material since it's on Etsy.

It looks like the cat is sitting on a rug made from one of his litter mates. Creepy.

I've slept under a feather bed in Germany at my great aunt's house, but there were a variety of covers for whatever eventuality during the night. So on a cold night, I slept with the blankets/sheets and the feather bed on top, and on a warm night, I'd pull the feather bed off. I've not seen/used these in any other house though.

Voted creepy but with lots of potential for fun if you get away from family/friend portraits. A pillow of Nixon would be hilarious especially with a couple "farewell" hands.

I've been looking at that bar for a while now and sorta wish I had room for it.

I've also been checking out this brass and glass table in Austin. It's dreamy.

What about going to a carpet store and ordering a piece for your dimensions and having the edges bound? Not sure about prices but you can buy find decent carpet for $2.50/sqft or cheaper if you can find a remnant - check on CraigsList. If you're crafty, you can do the edge binding yourself - just google how to bind a rug.

Curtains with a smart box pleat would sing.

I'm particularly enamored with Traci Hutson (a local Austin potter/sculptor) although I imagine most gardeners wouldn't want a lime green squirrel-running-off-with-a-baby planter.


Gift Guide for the Dedicated Gardener
12/8/11 5:50 PM

I'm a gardener and have an eclectic collection of plants, and there are many that are carefree for those who don't garden. I've won a few from raffles, and I propagate regularly. I once gave a blue ribbon (plant show) cactus (Consolea rubescens) as a host gift, and I just gave my contractor a ready-to-bloom Tillandsia sp. after learning his father had died. I have a perpetual supply of gifts that some might consider re-gifts, but I always ensure the plants are clean, groomed, and properly mulched for prettiness. It also helps to provide a care card. I try to tailor which plant I give based on what I know/don't know about the recipient.


What Are Your Thoughts On Regifting?

Mount 3M hooks above the window and attach roman shade rings to the back portion of the curtain - far enough from the top to cover the hooks. You will need to space the hooks and rings out carefully and make sure it all lines up. One hook for one ring.

If you don't use the fireplace, hide it with floor-to-ceiling curtains. Trying to work the fireplace into the layout is too tricky with the existing needs of the room and your current limitations with regard to furniture. You can test it out visually with some spare bedsheets, tacks, and safety pins to see if that creates more/better options. And while it might be nice to keep the fireplace visible, it might not be serving your immediate needs especially if you don't use it and need lots of floor space for little ones. From there you can move the furniture in a way that makes the most sense for flow and using the space.
