Gardening: How does your vegetable garden grow? http://www.thebungalo...

Our garden is doing great so far. The lettuce, Spring onions and sugar peas are tasting real good. Nothing like fresh from the garden. How do you keep rabbits out?

Come on over and join the garden party this week! :)

Our patio has evolved into an outdoor room and an extension of our home

In 1996 we had a small concrete patio. It faced south and was too hot and too small to call it an outdoor room. We added an awning and after a few years made the patio bigger with stone ...»
pavers. When the awning rotted we decided to build a roof and the project took off. We ended up with a bigger patio and it's evolved into a space we love!

With the addition of new comfortable furniture our patio has become our spot for morning coffee and relaxing in the evening. We even watch tv there!

In 2010 this was the patio, http://www.thebungalowblog.com/category/pati...

Cabinets: Do you have upper cabinets in your kitchen?

I need space in my kitchen and was inspired by beautiful kitchens with those upper cabinets. http://www.thebungalowblog.com/2012/06/tr... ...»

Most of them I've seen have glass in the doors. I decided to attempt to make some myself and here's the progress so far. I need to sand and fill in with tons of wood putty but I think they'll be ok. Now I have to figure out the doors. Can anyone tell me how to make the doors? Any hints are appreciated! I'm looking for a creamy white paint color too....any recommendations?

This year's mantle is decorated in aqua blues and lime greens! The look is so different from last year's O holy night theme. I didn't put up a tree but the house still feels very much like Christmas!
