All of these are a great reminders.I've bookmarked this site. Drinking the warm water is a favorite.

For Cashba....how about tacking up some heavy material just barley above the door so when it is opened it will not get caught ,but keeps the draft out. There are stripes, soft bristles along the length, to place on the very bottom of the door..maybe just put it at the top too.

I agree..chieromancer...this color will "disappear" when enough of the clients color is used. I could see bold color, sea side decor,build off of a striking shower curtail, use a little of this same color as an accent color to blend it all together.

I parents were heavy smokers,so I know all the negatives from the habit. My suggestion. Get a filter or fan for the smoke to stay at your home and not linger into their area.
You have the right; also acknowledge their rights from the smoke.
Oh, one last statement....would you please consider stop smoking....my parents died way too young from the haibit.

Congrads you are the winner in my book too. the color choices and tips are well received by me. Also. You took upcycling to a new level with the sofa. I'd do the same...don't think I"ll find anything around my neck of the woods that old. My eyes grabbed the wood storage,which I will put into place. I'll be looking for the home tour. They do ask folks if they would be willing for a tour ....to contact them.

Suggest.insert spring loaded curtain rod then hang moving van pads( very thick) to block out the sound. Sew tabs at the top of the pad ,then slide into the rods.most economical Then the idea of large grommets ( kits avaliable for DIY) spaced along the pad will give it a more tailored appreance. Place hooks inside the top of the window inserts ,just hook them up. When there is company you want to show the sky line ....Hook a few of the panels over each other.
Keep us posted

sherryBinNH..thank you for the comments.since. I trust your knowledge and compassion ,since I am a BOOK LOVER. It is hard for me to justify upcycling a book. I am still pushing for readers not to dog ear pages,so I make bookmarkers out of recycled materials.leave them everywhere.

We need to be very selective in whom we give these up cycled books to.Personally,I think we are In a serious stage of discarding reading material of many sources. Let's don't through out the baby with the wash water. When I give my 7 year grandson a book, I want him to know it is to READ.
Let's pack them up to leave at laundry mats, grocery store,hospitals,doctors office,
School cafeterias,the beach,church, homeless shelters or low income housing units. They will be read by folks at all these places.

You have given me a little wiggle room to "maybe" follow up on some of the crafty ideas posted here and other sites...... before we know it there will be a book on how to recycle books.:) :)


10 DIY Ideas for Book-Based Kids' Decor
10/24/12 7:24 PM

all the ideas are very interesting ..not the same o same o. As I was reading the comments....this is what came to mind.use a pulling as we had to draw the clothes in from the window ..it would br attached to a corner window so someone on that side of the building could use the clothes dryer too.
So,to set up my window treatment, I'd hang the curtains probably with clothes pens,..during the day open the curtains all the way .then close at night ..it would give a blank wall charm too.

You have my vote for colors giving a very friendly and cheerful atmospher.
Now, you have to do something for me..finish the area where the wall and floor meet on each side of the front door. It appears to be unfinished....otherwise ,retake the picture for a 3/4 view of the beautiful yellow door.
Paint or cover the elect plates so they will get lost in the wood.
Did you repurpose the cabinet to hold the TV components? Very nicely done too.
