and color. Stencils on the walls or surfaces that do not get a lot of traffic is one thing. But putting anything other then a clear finish on hard wood floors is asking for nothing but trouble. Sure it will look great for a while. And I know that with the new epoxies they have pretty good durability. But they all dull and show signs of wear after several years of high traffic use.
I am just saying ...Be very careful where you put stencils and paint. Because once it is down, it is a lot of work to get it back up again. And who wants to redo their floors every two to three years just because they had a design idea that was not such a good durability idea.

Gardening: Any ideas on how to disguise a rain barrel?

trap filter ( use the grease trap to stop all the sediments ). Also put a simple air pump filter from a fish tank you will not have a problem with algae and you will also eliminate the unsightliness of the water holding tank. It can be place under a wooden porch with a trap door for easy access or under a high porch step. I have even seen them partly sunken into the ground and a bench seat top made for the top to conceal the top for easy access.

Reclaimed wood flooring made from pallets and such

So I'm not cool enough to post a cool pallet project like so many other Hometalkers have done. But this is almost as cool - I happened across this amazing flooring made from pallets, shipping crates and other used wood. It looks fantastic and seems to be pretty well-liked:
