Can you build some steps to hold planters? I'm thinking something like the risers a choral group stands on covered with wooden planters. Put an outdoor baker's rack in the center and risers with planters on either side.

Mario Batali's Lemon Oregano Jam. It is a delicious, savory condiment. I love it with grilled chicken and chorizo skewers.

Better than a coloring book- an activity book with a great Amazon.com review.

Very pretty. You could save even more time and money by using a "concrete forming tube" from a hardware store for the cylindrical frame. They are sturdy and come in a variety of heights.

The ceiling fan and light in our master bedroom would go on/off/dim/fan at any time. We live in a city and figured out the waves from cordless phones and radios were interfering with the wireless remote my husband installed.

Is there a misprint here? Mimosa is pink and honeysuckle is yellow. That would explain all the confused commentators.

Paint quality is an issue too. We have used Sherwin Williams in the living room of our rental unit and no matter how many scuffs, scrapes, nail holes etc. we can simply patch and paint. We are not even using the same can anymore; the store has mixed a new batch, and it matches perfectly every time. It is worth the money to buy quality paint.

Every time I squeeze a fresh lemon I bag the remnants and freeze it. I boil them in a coffee mug to fill the microwave with lemony steam which can easily be wiped down. I place the carousel tray (as well as my sink tray, sponges and nylon scour brush) into the dishwasher weekly.

Erica, your home sounds lovely. I adore curved staircases. I would get a linear measurement and then find an average wall height to determine the square footage. Or you may want to number each existing "drop" of paper with a chalk number and add them together.

lex,
My husband hung my porch curtains with high tension wire and IKEA cafe clips. This was a big improvement over the previous (but less expensive) cup hooks and white PVC tubing. The advantage of using the wire is that I can pull the 12 panels entirely closed. The PVC tubing could not handle that span without interrupting cup hooks.
