  • Fab thrift store finds became my targets!
  • A peat moss based potting soil was added, then a little spanish moss to hide the soil, which makes the pots look fuller!

DIY Wine Cork Bath Mat

All you need for this unique mat is: shelf liner, hot glue, a knife and 175 wine corks. If vino isn't your drink of choice, or you simply don't want to work through so many bottles, visit a few neighborhood restaurants. Many bars toss their wine corks at the end of the night and would be happy to save a few for you! Learn how to make it here: http://blog.brightnest.com/2012/08/06/learn-...

    As many folks here on hometalk know, I not much of a fan of laminates. laminates occupy the ...»
    bottom rung in the flooring spectrum. From a durability stand point and long term ease of use tile...is the best. With real hardwoods taking the next position.

    Nearly ever laminate floor I have seen looks pretty nasty after just a few years...and these were installed by pros on virgin "substrate". As mentioned above laminates float and are not bound to the substrate...this is one reason why they sound hollow and have a "clackity clack": sound underfoot. Even with a decent vapor barrier / foam underlayment the minor unevenness of a tile floor will exacerbate this issue.

    What room is this? living room or bedroom? Kitchen. If this is for a kitchen or any area that have potential for moisture exposure...tile would be the better choice hands down. Laminate are only water resistant on the top "plastic" layer the seams and the back are often made from MDF and this swells when exposed to water...often never to return to its original thickness...this swelling is the primary cause of failure.

    On a final note ...when a laminate floor starts to fail or look nasty there is no "fix" available. A real hardwood floor can be re-surfaced / sand and provide 100 years + of service life if maintained well....when the laminates life is up...in 3 to 5 years its landfill fodder...laminates can not be recycled composted etc like real wood.
