I did this with Melaleuca and it worked great! ...»

Impressive - beautiful, functional and done on an "anyone can do" budget!

CORE in coordination with Jones Pierce Architects worked to create a complete outdoor living experience for the client.

The design includes an outdoor addition, small pool, raised spa, radial retaining, boulder retaining walls. The somewhat formal hardscape design will be offset with lush plantings to create a comfortable and unique outdoor living space.

I'd go with a verdigris copper - you can purchase either real copper squares (like old tin ...»
ceiling) and create an aged verdigris finish, or a heavy vinyl "wallpaper" that can be painted like aged copper.

far superior, and eligible for state (no more federal) rebates, and a big plus is that the warrantee could be transferred to new owners if we sell in the next 10 years. It offered more bang for our buck in the end. Also included in our package price is new insulation throughout the home. There is an energy loan available through the government at 0% interest over 10 years as well for the high efficiency systems...check it out at http://www.energyfinancesolutions.com/ (No, I am not an HVAC sales rep, I am a homeowner/consumer)

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.
