  • Powder room rennovation completed January 2011

We completed the rennovation of this small powder room in January 2011.

We used the existing cabinet, but replaced the counter top, floor, sink, faucet, medicine cabinet, lights, and commode. We also added bead board to the walls at a height of six feet with ...»
a picture ledge on top. The floor is marble tile with an inset of mosaic tile for a "rug" effect.

Gardening: I would like to try to grow herbs in pots in my backyard, but I don't seem to have any luck with plants.

Are there any particularly hardy herbs that can stand up to my black thumb?
