Cozy warm dashboard?

17 years ago

Well I had a thought... The thought is how warm it gets in ones car when parked out in the parking lot at work all day. And, how one could park the car towards the morning sun, wander out in the early afternoon, turn the car around, and get all the afternoon sun, all on ones warm cozy dashboard. I have a little stub of a plummie, about as big as ones thumb, a few Desert Rose seeds that have yet to show themselves above the soil, and a few little baby plummies. What are your thoughts dear wise ones on the cozy warm dashboard theory? And yes, I can say plumiaholic!

Yeah, I couldn't argue with her approach Carrie. Just wished I could have followed suit instead of trudging off to work. We had quite the pileups here. The overpasses froze while the rest of the roads were OK... so, lots of people surprised. A couple of interstates shut down. 35 wrecks. Come to think about, it, maybe the dog did have the right idea.

Love the pics!!! There's nothing more comforting to me than sleeping animals. I love seeing our 3 cats curled up sleeping......whether it's in a box or on the couch. It's been snowing all day today and they're calling for snow and ice. I know the schools will be cancelled tomorrow as our weather channel is all in red for pretty much all of Ontario. I've spent the day cooking, and we watched the rest of The Client List, as it's now been cancelled.

Providing interesting items will focus the attention from rising to the ceiling. Consider using recessed medicine cabinets for medications. Running your top material up the wall behind the sinks is a much better solution than adding tile. Adding a narrow shelf to the continuous backsplash provides a surface for placing items out of the way of users.

What Beverly shows you works well and looks terrific to start. The only thing I would change is the TV - change it to what katinparadise and rthawk described. The console your TV is on now is contributing to the visual clutter - and their solution will eliminate that and clear up that corner area. Your room looks so much better with the sectional moved to the long wall. That sofa table Bevs shows really works with that end of the sofa - so you can add a lamp and make the room even more cozy. I love the curtains Bev shows and the way to hang them so they don't crowd the window (high) and full. Good luck, have fun with your new room! You are on the right track OP.

Well nice thought on the bright sunny window, if that is one doesn't have dogs and cats that would love to tear apart something new. I'm sure if I put my baby plummies in a window I would come home to find them torn apart on one dog in particulars favorite couch. Either that or they would have a certain odor coming from them, courtesy of one of the cats. Cooking cookies in the car. What a lovely idea. Go in to work, come out to nice warm freshly baked cookies! Gotta love it. John I'll be sure to send you some, and let you all know how the dashboard nursery idea comes along.

The only plant that seems to get the attention of my pets is the lemon grass that my cats eat. My dog ignores all my plants. It's my youngest child that's a threat to the plumeria.

Cookies on the dash? It would smell nice.
