Just use potting mix. The only mold that you might ever see is on top of the soil and it doesn't hurt them in the least.

Use a good primer and tint it if you can. Make sure the primer seals tannins? or stain. Painted wood panels can look quite nice. Sort of like bead board. This is much easier and cheaper than dry wall. My brother did this way back in the 70s in our family home and it still looks nice today. Naturally a few more coats of paint and color changes have been added over the years.

I would not at all be happy if someone surprised me with any makeover whatsoever! And, especially green in a bathroom. Green reflects poorly on one's complexion. Thus we have Greenrooms backstage, that are never painted green.

I was there on Monday. Excellent! I did think it funny that the little Gluehwein boots when flipped over declared themselves - Made in China. Thank goodness the hundreds of thousands wooden and glass ornaments were not. Prost und Froh Weihnachten!

Cats are meant to live in barns earning their keep.

Too bad the picture isn't bigger. Does it look like the receiver/amplifier is on the shelf next to the turntable? I think it is odd that the turntable doesn't have a dust cover. The poppy red makes me think 1964 Ford Mustang, but then I look at that turntable again and think it can be no sooner than the 70's. Then again, if the room is European that would really mess me up. I don't see an ashtray either. Hm. Oh well, I guess 70's.

The fir tree next to the window appears to be a Nordmann Fir, which would probably mean somewhere in Northern Europe? Seems to me a well-travelled European could peg that mailbox.

Fantastich!

I have a clothes line that I use infrequently for things like rags or rugs. I wonder what the neighbors think. My main concern is bringing allergens into my apartment, which is why I rarely dry bedding outside. But it sure smells good!

Cool bathroom.
