ash trees will be extinct in a few years if the ash borer isn't stopped (an invasive pest from asia that has no known predators in north america that has killed millions of trees throughout the midwest) so you can also consider the slab that was rubbed with oil and sanded by a human to be a fossil of sorts.

lately one of my favorite bar tenders pointed out that one nearby bar has chartreuse and doesn't really charge appropriately for it. i drink chartreuse and soda all the time now, because they sell it cheap!

chartreuse is the best.

you could potentially have a worm composting bin under a kitchen counter and it would be smell free and would compost "on demand". I dont think that is what you see here, but I have seen examples of it elsewhere.

Since so many people buy juicers and don't use them, scope out craigslist. I bought a juicer for $50 and i still use it quite often, and have 'juice parties'. leftover CSA veggies? juice em. I am really glad I have it!

There are yurts available in nearly every state park in the country (US that is). It is cheap and awesome--I stayed in one on the Oregon coast that had a skylight, room for 5 people, an electric heater, a deck for cooking with a wee stove, and was a 5 minute walk from the ocean! it was the best little camping trip, and very plush. you have to RSVP one ahead of time though, they are completely booked during the summers.

I have these in the US, or at least, I have the divided up panes that swing in, and I adore them. They are a good portion of the reason I bought my house. I have little square ones and long 3-windowed sets.

So far I have had no problem with them staying open, my hinges seem to allow it pretty easily (I'm sure some 4d-40 would solve that but I like how they are now). The hardest part for me is finding window treatments. I actually had it as a "good question" on here before... the little teeny square ones I may eventually make roman blinds for, and the large 3-panel one, will probably remain 'naked'.

i love these windows though. completely charming. lucky you! :)

those are definitely high end countertops. Make your other changes like painting, new hardware, new lighting, some paint, and then stand back and see how you feel!

If you replace the countertop you may be able to donate it to a REstore or something, because that stuff is expensive if it is corian or quartz.

So many of the suggestions here talk about your dated kitchen and make suggestions that will date it again! I wouldnt put in granite countertops or track lighting--I would paint cabinets and if I were to replace countertops, go for butcher block, but that is me. It seems a little less dated than the granite fad.

If you dont like the idea of a wall mounted tv, you can also get a large painting that you can mount over it when you aren't watching, which is what i plan to do.
