Design & Décor: Small bar/countertop area - I hate it and want to lower, what do you think?

This bar area is pretty much useless and my kitchen is small and I feel like it "cuts off" the kitchen visually and doesn't make it appear open at all. Its usually not this big of a mess, I'm painting on the other counter so everything is schlopped to this counter. So, I want to cut it off and lower it like most kitchens are these days which give a more open feel. I was just going to use the bar top to "fill - in" that area to extend it like regular top, but it extends on the side ...»

    I would also increase the width of the bar to make it more usable.

A vintage suite case gets a new life as a pet bed!

By taking an old suitcase...and several other scraps from the house....I made a comfy little spot for my dirty little dog to lounge on. I love recycling anything that really can't be used for it's original purposes anymore #Bestof2012 #keepingcozy #recycle

Outdoor Living: My dilemma....Creating privacy at the back of this house without breaking the bank.

Really love this house but it's got a serious privacy issue. It's on a corner lot and the back is wide open so anyone who drives by on either street can see EVERYTHING. Trying to figure out how to create an inviting private space on the cheap. I'm a pretty good DIYer, not afraid to tackle the project on my own.

Any ideas????

    If you are in an area that can grow bamboo some types are really aggressive and grow very ...»
    rapidly and planted close would provide a fence like feel with something sustainable....just a thought. You could then add a pergola onto the upper area for cheap and have either fabric or plants grow thru it. You also have some elevation in the yard so depending on where your property line is you could do some cheap dirt build up and then I saw Jamie Durrie use corrugated metal at like 4' on it's side run between wood 2x2 mini posts which were stained....looked really rustic and created privacy for the lower area...:? Obviously you could go higher but would need more metal...
