  • 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!

    a friend once told me a space saver tip was to store folded sheets under the mattress..I don't ...»
    care for that idea but arrange my linens by one size on 1 shelf..one can label the shelf if need be...that way all sheets & cases for 1 size are on 1 shelf. I put the folded pillowcases inside my folded sheets...then when you pull out the folded sheet you have your fitted, cases & flat all together...similar method but without the clothespins & labels

  • This project cost a total of $20 because I used mostly materials and plants I already had. See it on "Our Fairfield Garden" board on Pinterest @ Barb Rosen and my website http://ourfairfieldhomeandgarden.com 8

  • The fridge was once to the right of the cupboards, which stuck out into the dining area..We moved the fridge to the left and shoved the cabinets down to the right...makes it much roomier and brings the fridge closer to the cooking area. 4

I am proud of my kitchen

I remodeled my 1970's kitchen myself. I refaced the cabinets with wainscoting and picture frame molding. I did my own tile work on the countertops and backslpash. I also made my own roman shade above the sink.

Outdoor Living: $100 quick patio fix

We've been so busy with the inside of our house that we've completely neglected the equally trashed exterior. With a visit from the Mother In Law looming, we had to do something. A ...»
little paint, sewing some straight lines, some electrical conduit for curtain rods, painting a design on a $19 outdoor rug, and a few plants, it turned this trashed space into a nice place to sit for about $100 in a day's time.

  • We love this Walkway 1

Recycled parking lot into walkway

Mu husband and I located a business where parking lot was being chewed into oblivion and brought the pieces home and made a walkway. We even placed stone statue with under-lighting in the middle to memorialize our son. This is mostly in the shade bur sure would like to have blooming plants in the center. Along the walk we planted dwarf gardenias.

    no hosta's as they are shade plants...I would put ornamental perennial grasses...purple ...»
    lovegrass doesn't get too large & is nice...Zebra grass is another nice choice...these would add some height & movement with breezes..could also add a bird bath but it would require constant water added ea day...barberry shrub is a deep cranberry purplish color...just be careful with spreading low plants...phlox blooms once & then it is just green until the next spring...lilies require some care (removing old blooms) & also spread...a big rock would add interest too....laceleaf maples are shade plants & won't tolerate hot sun. Impatiens require shade also...be sure & ask or read the tags before buying so you know they are sun tolerant. Have fun!!
