Design & Décor: Not sure what do with this awesome Dog kennel?

I was at a garage sale and this couple were done for the day and were giving this really nice wood dog kennel away for free. It is missing a few dowels in the front. I want to improve upon it It is very sturdy and of nice wood. I don't have a dog but have friends that do. I could give it for a gift to a dog owner or make it into something completely different. Any ideas or suggestions? What could I do with the door where the dowels are half gone? I appreciate your thoughts!

Can anyone tell me about phlox.

Any ideas for a flowering ground cover? I would like a ground cover around my mailbox and small areas with flowers. I have heard of phlox, would that be good and does it come back each year? I have no photos.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Volunteer trees large to small & how to kill an invasive grapevine.

About 2 years ago I had to wear a cast on my left leg for about 9 months and the yard got away from me! I now have volunteer trees from 25' tall to 12" inches! Too many to count. What ...»
is the best way for me to kill off the stumps if I cut them down? Any other ideas? Also, I have a very invasive grapevine killing off my evergreens, how do I kill the grapevine once and for all? I had a tree trimming/yard clean-up crew come in about 4 years ago but it's a jungle again, the grapevine survived, and spending another $800.00 is out of the question. Please help! Any advise would be great!!! Thanks :)

Remodeling: I want to paint my bedroom furniture. Do I have to strip it?

The furniture has a thin layer of varnish. I know it is thin because my daughter spilled nail polish on it and when I wiped it off the varnish and the color came off the drawer. I want to do it in a matte white/cream. Any suggestions? Thanks
