Walls & Ceilings: Ceilings

Looking to redo our one- floor 1978 house. Of course that will take time and money and we are in our 60's. I want to begin with a romantic bedroom. Currently we have a bubble ceiling ...»
but I want to put something else up there without removing that ceiling. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Cleaning & Organization: Flooring

When we moved into our '78 one floor home, we had the carpeting cleaned well. This had been a rental house and there were many pets in here. Now, the odor is unbearable. The flooring is ...»
not hardwood.

We know this will be quite a project throughout the entire house.

My question is can the flooring be treated to totally eliminate the urine odor?

Thank you!

    Thank you all. There is no doubt all the carpeting needs replacing, but we don't have hardwood ...»
    flooring underneath and how to treat that before we put anything else down was really the question. I don't want that odor around anymore. Lots of work ahead! :-)

Repurposed Frappuccino Bottles

I dearly love Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos!

I found a way to justify my consumption!

#Love2Repurpose !

These glass bottles have clear labels that come off super easy, and then if you wash them in the dishwasher any residue that is left will come off during the ...»

wash. They look very much like vintage milk bottles....love this look.

We use them as drinking bottles...they look great with paper straws in them, vases...have fun tying burlap or twine around the neck to dress them up a bit...... we also use them for our collection of sand from the different beaches that we have visited.

You can leave the lids as they are...or spray paint them any color you wish. For my son's sand collection we spray the lids silver...for the collection above we just left the lids as they are because we store them on a high shelf. We then tie a tag with the beach's name on it around the neck.

It's neat to collect sand from different beaches and see the vast differences in each one. Some are dark, some are light, some are fine, some are course....if you have never been to the website that shows the magnification of sand.....by all means, please visit it here. It is amazing and so beautiful! We are walking on these lovely treasures!

So, find some Frappuccino on sale.....have a Frappuccino Party {or drink them all yourself, like me}......and have some fun with the neat empty bottles! #BeforeandAfter

Remember 7 weeks ago when I was looking for a funky way to line a landscape path?

http://www.hometalk.com/activity/57912

I ended up using bicycle rims that were cut in half and the ends buried in the ground. I ...»

collected bent rims from bike shops and removed the spokes with bolt cutters. Then I sawed the rim in half with a metal blade on my skilsaw.

I finally got around to taking pix today.

Good news - the dogs take NO interest in it at all!

  • Dog gate built using shutters 4

My first share -- I wanted something a little nicer and more permanent than a baby gate to try and keep our three dogs

out of the living room. (One of the dogs is old and has ... problems of the floor-ruining sort.) I'd bought these old shutters at a yard sale a few months back and by attaching two and a half of them together and securing them at the top and bottom with trim, they made a perfect gate. Took less than an hour start to finish.
