@name.....I haven't been able to find any stores that focus solely on succlents in the Phoenix area, or perhaps i'm not looking in the right areas. I've found all the succlents for my backyard and front patio at either Lowes or Home Depot, they have great selections.

I have a drying rack that I love, bought from the container store about 3 years ago. It folds down enough to slide under the sofa when not in use. Using a drying rack cuts my laundry time in half, I run a load over night then hang out to dry before leaving for work. Everything is dry when I return home from work that evening. I'm able to set up the drying rack in the back yard, but out of view from neighbors, which was a concern of my BIL who can' t understand why I would hang clothes out to dry when I have a nice dryer to use.

I love the Christmas holiday as well, but this year i put away decorations on Christmas day. And took the opportunity to rearrange the main living area and get ready for spring. I don't have post Christmas blues.Which is easier because i live in an area that doesn't get cold winters, it is bright and sunny(less pollution) most days.But i understand the moody blues feeling during the autumn and winter seasons, while most of the country is participating in fall/winter events, my area is just beginning to have temps below 100. We are still waiting for our trees to drop their leaves so we can rake.

i so agree with you, i know several people that don't celebrate christmas or any type of holiday. I know the two month holiday season was/is difficult for them, with all the christmas decor, cookies and snacks left in break areas with "merry christmas or happy holidays.
I feel really bad for my atheist friend, she sucks it up and go along to get along.

The daybed doesn't look comfortable enough to sleep on long term. If space permits i would suggest a twin bed.

@CarolinZhangDesign-the by*tch comment was more of an insult than anything else.

Sounds like a great idea for any occasion. Don't think i'll try it for Autumn colors or winter wonderlands, I live in Arizona desert and have accepted it after many years of trying to fight mother nature.

I too had to go back and forth between the before and after several times before seeing the change. I think it's great a piece of furniture intended for one use was was repurposed for another but I was expecting a more involved DIY.

I agree with KaBoombox.

I just don't think I can get on board with these kitchens. None look cheap and their not ugly,it's just too much. What happens when you don't love the color anymore, just rip out everything and start over. Although, I would love painted cabinets in my kitchen my spouse refuses to paint wood and holds over my head the one poor choice in color I chose for the bathroom and he had to help repaint.

@portlandrules I don't think the rest of the country looks down on Florida. That sentiment is held solely for Arizona.
