Gardening: Oleander blooming

A few years ago we moved the plant about 60 feet to the backyard because ugly orange caterpillars ate all the flowers and ruined the look. Surprisingly, they have not attacked it since it was moved. It has grown a lot & I wonder if it should be trimmed when it finishes blooming.

More great upcycling project ideas using architectural scraps

Since you guys appreciated the coffee table from an old door that my husband built for me, I thought you'd love to see what he can do with old windows, too! Over the years he has built ...»
some seriously cool pieces of furniture and shadowboxes, too. The very first thing he made for me was the window shadowbox to hold my wedding bouquet and bridal portraits. It's one of my most prized possessions.

He used scrap lumber from his grandfather's porch swing to create the red shadowboxes. I painted the red table and distressed it to look old. We make a pretty good team! :)

He doesn't use any plans to build things, but another Hometalker asked for plans for his tables in the coffee table post, so here is a little tutorial I wrote on how he created the hinged window shadowbox table: http://unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com/2008/09/tu...
