It can be really tough to keep chickens safe from predators-- raccoons and possums can do a lot of damage and it's sad when it happens. Just be prepared to build something like Fort Knox in your backyard!

I'll be painting a tattoo- and graffiti-inspired mural on our den/media room wall in our new house, so yes, I'd do it.

If you want to DIY, use an angle grinder with a knotted steel wire brush to get the rust off. It will only take a couple of hours, and they will look brand new and be ready for a new coat of paint.

A chesterfield in blue velvet... I didn't even realize that this is the sofa I needed for my new den :)

That's what we do! You can find wooden ones for low cost and they look great.

Hi Nicole... funny thing is, my boyfriend has this exact couch. We're getting ready to move in together next month, and that couch is coming with us. I had really hoped to upgrade, but as it turns out, we are both attached to how comfy and useful it is. Plus I think it's going to go pretty well with our dark wood furniture, exposed beams, vintage-y collections, area rug, and b&w artwork. Mostly I'm hoping it will sort of disappear into the background :) ~Nicole

Mine (white, fluffy, fake) came down last weekend, during spring cleaning. The wreath (still beautiful and green) came down a few weeks before. But I've been known to decorate my tree for Valentine's and Mardi Gras.

Now, because of the rugs, the vanity, the art, the clothes, the leopard chairs, and the collection of purses in the closet
