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!

    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! :-)

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!

Furniture: Need make over ideas

I have a vanity table that was given to me as a wedding gift 15 years ago. It is not really good for anything except being at "catch all" and sits in my entry since the seat broke many years ago. It's really showing its age. Any ideas on how to give it a make over?

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

Repurposing my repurpose??? Should I or shouldn't I?

I bought this huge 7 ft door at an old school house auction, then my husband and son paired it with another great sale find-- wooden display shelves from a local store to make this cool entry shelf--- but now that spring is just around the corner I'm thinking about another repurpose and making a garden bench-- what to do?????

A Drawer transformed into an over the Toilet Cabinet

So I had all these drawers lying around from an old waterbed frame compliments from my neighbor who had purchase a new bed and wanted to know if I would like to use the wood and drawers ...»
for any of my projects...and me the JUNK Queen never passes up on an opportunity for free wood LOL!

So I thought to myself, SELF... what can I make out of these drawers?

Then I got to thinking that I was needing a new cabinet to go over the toilet in the bathroom to hold the toilet paper and other bathroom accessories.

So from one of the drawers this is what I made...

You Can see the whole tutorial here...
