@globaltastes - Thanks so much for the information and link. Surprisingly, I have never heard of MacKenzie-Childs and that urn is amazing! Some of the products are a little too bold or over-the-top for my taste, but I'm in love with the wrought iron collection! For the whimsical home (or garden gate) - that swing door knocker would be fun!

happix2joix2 - The last picture is from a post talking about Williams Sonoma's Agrarian line, which is why it's included in the section on resources. You will find lots of gardening tools, supplies and kits (like chicken coops!), but they also have a section of products dedicated to vertical gardening. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/shop/agrarian-garden/garden-vertical-gardening/?cm_type=lnav

lelizaparker - If you would like to see more photos, including one with the same shot as the "before", please take the time to view the original post (link is included above). The "after" picture shown was the best shot of the room in it's entirety.

Well put, Splitty!
Nobody is knocking wine, awesome hostess gift and as the second sentence stated, always welcome in my house. BUT, if you know your hostess, and their taste, there's no reason one can't get a little creative. Not all ideas are for everyone, but this isn't exactly a post about DIY knick-knacks. I can always use cloth napkins (b/c I don't buy paper towels), hand towels (ditto), and wood serving spoons or trivets for hot plates (or to set house plants on) are quite useful. Seed bombs for gardeners (awesome in my book) and I love bath products but don't always have extra $ to buy them for myself. So I really don't see how many of these ideas aren't useful and just "take up precious space". Cupcakes, yum. Real vanilla extract, also yum! Remember, we aren't all the same and not everybody drinks alcohol!

Gillianne: There is a company in Oregon that does repair work on Danish furniture and I believe you can ship to them. Since they fold up and can be packed flat, shipping should be reasonable. Here is the website. http://acaneandwickerfixer.com/danish_cord_weaves.htm

Good luck! - Kimber

KELLYSTOKES - The framed succulent "portraits" were found at a restaurant in LaJolla, unfortunately I don't remember the name, but it wasn't too far away from the Crab Catcher (great food and an AMAZING view). It was a little further away from the ocean, walking up the hill.

IHEARTMYTHO - You are absolutely correct! For anyone that's interested, I highly recommend the book, Hardy Succulents, by Gwen Moore Kelaidis.

That should have read Dwarf Japanese Umbrella Pine, thanks for the correction all you gardeners :) They are perfectly suited for for small yards and even containers. You can expect it to grow about 3 feet over 10 years, although the dwarf variety might be a little harder to source!

I think it's a great way to introduce a bold pop of color, as long as the door color is your accent color on the interior (or at least compliments the shades in your room). BUT, if you are hesitant, you can always paint the exterior of the door one color, and the interior of the door a different one. I did it on my kitchen door that leads to the porch and love it! And, if you do hate it, it is just paint after all :)

Bibliovore - EXACTLY! He's getting better, but still, much easier with labels :) Thanks for the recommendation on polymer clay brands. A polymer clay expert, I am not!

House Voyeur - YES! I think bad customer service is becoming so common that it makes great service a wonderful, rare gem!

roybot - No, I never threw out there who I blog for.

reginamonster - I agree 100% and I rely all the time on online reviews. Unfortunately, I tend to rarely write them :( Something to work on!
