Poison ivy

Image
A beautiful native plant, poison ivy ( Toxicodendron radicans ) is a wicked plant (at least for those of us allergic to it - and that's about 85% of us). The fruits are excellent for birds ~ check. Fall color is fabulous ~ check. It's native ~ check. But.... its oils are not a happy combination with human skin and we react badly with rashes and itching. Happy Halloween!

If you like the idea of coming up with your own home Interior design,you are not alone. Lots of folks these days are planning out and then executing their own interior designs. But how do you come up with great home interior design ideas? Here are a few suggestions to get you started. Probably one of the easiest ways to get home decoration ideas is to simply watch television these days. There are several shows that are dedicated to the subject of completely redesigning an entire house room by room. The biggest problem with watching these television shows is having something in front of you as documentation. So a couple of ideas that may help out is to have a pencil and paper available to take notes as you go, and also to record the program for viewing later on. Even though you may get some great home interior design ideas from these television shows, ask yourself whether or not they will fit well in your particular home.

Spacious rooms If you love the wide open spaces and want the light and airy atmosphere, here are some tips on achieving that sense of spaciousness in your rooms. - To create a feeling of largeness in your room, eliminate the shadows that tend to slice a room up into smaller spaces. Work on lighting the room with a soft, even light. Avoid ceiling lights as they tend to make the ceiling feel lower. Diffused, ambient lighting will tend to enlarge the room. * Keep the surfaces free of heavy textures. Smoother surfaces tend to reflect more light and make the room feel larger. * Avoid heavy textured flooring. Choose tile over patterned or textured carpeting. Reflective and shiny surfaces such as mirror and chrome also can be used effectively. * Soft colors and monochromatic color schemes. Use cream, beige, gray or cool pastels on your walls and floors to make them recede. The ceiling should always be the lightest color in the room. * Limit the use of patterns in the room to create a m

Old simple house plans - design inspiration

Image
I posted an article the other day on gaining inspiration from old houses. Below is another great example - a bungalow that I stumbled upon near Forestville, California. It is so simple yet so well done. Why aren't builders and designers creating more homes like this anymore? Has the idea of doing a modest, simple and well detailed home escaped them? There must be a niche for this kind of house plan, but perhaps it's a lost art. So here is the brilliant idea: keep the overall form and roof line very simple - this costs less to build use nice deep overhangs - this protects the walls, windows and doors from the elements create a good composition of windows - here picture windows are combined with double hungs and centered between the porch columns and the wall surfaces use minimal ornamentation - the window grid patterns and the exposed rafter tails are pretty much the extent of it here create a focal point - the simple shed dormer with louvers and the stair that is "cap

Your home is your sanctuary and you’re getting tired of the boring atmosphere you’re living in. The good news is that you don’t have to spend all your money re-decorating your home. Here are five simple tips to help you jazz up and snazzy up your living room. GET A FRESH COAT There’s absolutely nothing like a fresh coat of paint to brighten up and old, boring room. There are great paint techniques that you can apply to completely change the look and feel of the room. Remember to keep the color calm and make sure it matches your things. You can also go bold and daring by painting one wall dramatic and keeping the rest of the panels easy-going. RE-ARRANGE Play with your furniture and position it in different places to get a “new look”. If you have a long living room and your furniture looks lost in it, try moving the couches into a U-shape to make it seem fuller and also create a cozier environment.

DesignMyRoom allows you to decorate a room virtually using either your own photo or one of the rooms in their library. I’ve tested it and I can tell you that with this tool you can see how a room would look with a certain floor, paint, fixtures, furniture, etc. Objects can be resized, rotated and moved around the room. The next step, the company says, is to allow users to upload their own images and insert them into the room. They’ve also paid attention to details – notice the shadows behind the clover and the lamp, for example, and the light coming into the room from the windows. Take a look and tell me what do you think, is easy !

A waste-free conference

I went to a Georgia Environmental Educators conference today focused on Outdoor Classrooms. What a cool conference! I tagged along with two of my best buddies (they're both nature and garden lovers, too). I was totally inspired by a couple of the presentations -- one in particular about DiscoverLife.org and the interactions between citizen science, researchers, and people of all ages literally around the world and the other about certifying pollinator habitats (a Monarchs across Georgia initiative). I'd heard about both organizations before, but not about these projects, so I was delighted to learn about them. But, the highlight of participating in this conference was the focus on having a waste-free conference. Remarkable. From being able to put our banana peels and apple cores in compost buckets, to using washable plates and cutlery in the school cafeteria, and no excess paper conference printing (uh, they actually relied on us to remember which programs we signed up f
