Make the most out of a small closet

Our bedroom closet measures 3x2x10 and for years we have struggled to make our clothes fit. We recently added 2 shelves with room for one more, plus I discovered Space Bags and these ...»
nifty stackable hangers. Both are great space savers. In addition, since we also share a dresser, I purchased a cloth closet and some baskets at the $$store to use for all my personals. I can't stand anything on my floors so if you are wondering where I keep my shoe collection it is in another closet hanging on a shoe tree.

How have you solved your space issues?

An Unexpected Surprise

After we take our holiday tree down, we set it outside for all the critters that come to visit our yard. When we went to take it down a few days ago, we found a mama bird sitting on her nest. I got my first shot of her today---can't wait until there are some peeping babies!

Another Thrifty Tip!

In my quest for better health and pinching pennies, I purchased one of the automatic soap dispensers before looking into the price of refills. My clever DH found a solution: After the ...»
soap was gone, he drilled a hole in the top of the soap container so it can be easily refilled. I recommend using generic since I found the name brand soaps would thicken up and clog the dispenser.

Using Plastic Crates for Gardening

I am always looking for different ways to garden or to display my plants. I ran across this idea the other day. If you have seen this or done it, I'd like any input you have.

Creating a Toad Habitat

Earlier this year I mentioned wanting to make a toad habitat and now it is complete. I've already had a few visit the "waterhole." You can read the whole story and get instructions @ http://hometipster.com/creating-a-toad-habit...

    yes and no. the time to have your piping in is very soon. I am in NEOhio and my guys will ...»
    begin hibernating by the end of Oct. If they don't have a place near where they feed they will look elsewhere. If you have any toads around now it is because of food and they would be delighted to have a place to over-winter. On the other hand many people do suggest waiting until spring-because of the laying of eggs. I am not set up for that but my toads have a spot nearby they use and come to my yard for food and lodging. I would personally suggest if you have the time, put in your piping and huts now and be done with it for the winter. This way you can have a little more time to figure out what type of watering hole you want to put in next year and not be fighting the spring rains, muddy ground, weeds and cold weather trying to get it all done.

    I love the use of screens! They do break up the visual field without dividing the yard.
