Tilt Out Trash Cabinet from Salvaged Shutter

After my dogs learned how to pop the lid off my trash can, I decided it was time to come up with another solution. I found Ana White's tilt-out trash cabinet online and bought the lumber ...»
for it without realizing that the door wasn't in the supply list! I had some old bifold doors I'd removed and was cutting up, and the bottom portion was the perfect size to use for the door. I popped on a handle and now I have a very pretty little cabinet to hide my trashcan in. And the best part? It's fully dog-proofed!

  • Windows in Nursery 2

Design & Décor: We have 3 windows & are unsure how to decorate them for our nursery. One valance w/ sheers? Separated? Panels?

HELP!!! Please suggest some (visual) options for us. We'd like to showcase the windows, rather than cover them up. But with the different sizes, we are having a dilemma.

Thanks so much in advance!

door supplier that could make doors to fit this space? Also notice the top corners are not the usual 90 degree angle. If there are any contractors willing to take on this job, I am open to hearing from you as well.

Walls & Ceilings: I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for dealing with wood paneling?

I have wood paneling in all but 2 rooms of my house. We were thinking of keeping it in our kitchen and doing a faux waincoting, but it's everywhere else in our house too. I want it gone! I'm tired of looking at it.

  • Tuna Can Lantern at InMyOwnStyle.com 7

Deck and Outdoor Living Tuna Can Lantern

Inexpensive and easy way to make DIY outdoor lighting by re-purposing a tuna can. A dowel, paint or old broom stick, wood screw, copper fitting, and a thrift store glass hurricane is all that is needed. Simply drill a hole in the can and dowel to attach the dowel/paintstick and spray paint it. Once the paint is dry add the glass hurricane. Cost- $5.00
