    I've successfully killed many weeds in cracks with vinegar. Don't get it near other plants ...»
    though. I've also used a mixture of vinegar and water to clean my floors and recently started using 1/4 cup in the water in my carpet shampooer to get the soap residue out from previous cleanings. It works! I"m hoping it's killing fleas at the same time I"m shampooing.

Our mirror mosaic fence. We had a blast creating this. Amazing what can come from a broken mirror mishap.

Penny floors

Saw this kitchen floor made by mosaic artist Amanda Edwards using pennies. Seems like a great idea. I was actually thinking of using this idea for a backsplash, but still a lot to consider.

Secondary Baths Can Have Style Too!

Who said only the master baths get to have the fun? Have you ever considered renovating a secondary bath? ...»

This Kennesaw homeowner wanted a place to relax in a vintage-style tub & a room that would host guests in style. She selected a modern Mediterranean style; complete with claw-foot tub, uniquely designed stone tile, vessel sink, custom cabinets & more.

You can see the partial wall was removed and a larger window was installed. Open space, more light & good design were the only "tricks" used to make this bath look & feel MUCH bigger! You can read more about this bath's design here: http://bit.ly/jtsSh9
