Composting Food Waste/Coffee Grounds At An Office Building
Comments (18)Dee, I too work at a library and started by "comandeering" banana and orange peels. Since I'm only in a couple of times a week, I asked if I could leave a 5-gal bucket in the breakroom. I pointed out that my bucket has a lid and our breakroom garbage does not, promised to switch it for an empty one atleast once a week, and would gladly accept plant materials from our houseplants and the floral arrangements a Friend of the Library freshens up regularly. I now have 2 co-workers who take buckets home with them and return when full plus the breakroom bucket. Slowly but surely! We have an old 10-gal aquarium that was donated eons ago for a summer kids project and I'm currently trying to figure a way to use it as a worm bin. I've never vermicomposted (yet), but I think it would be neat to have one in glass so the kids could sort of "watch the process". We get a lot of field trips during the school year and I'd like to make the most of their time at the library. If it's successful it could perhaps lead to worm bins in the classroom too :) Like Tox said: " As long as they get into a bin somewhere, consider it a success."...See MoreLooking for large (30'x50') coffee table with storage
Comments (0)Anyone run across one anywhere? Any suggestions for where to find moderately priced coffee/end tables? These are going to take a beating, but will also be in our main kitchen/family/great room so we don't want to go super low-end. We're looking for a large rectangular coffee table that either has drawers or baskets for storage (or room for baskets). Ideally with a black, espresso or walnut finish. Any suggestions are welcome!...See MoreLooking to paint or refinish garage sale coffee table
Comments (10)Shelly2, i've had great luck with the gel stains. All the pieces i've done have been on the larger side, and came out looking very good. You need to 'brush out' little bubbles and excess stain, but to me that's just common sense, just like painting. It's better to put on less rather than more. With 3 coats, I had the perfect depth I wanted. I mixed 2 corlors, but don't remember what they were, but dark was what I wanted, also. As for the dark brown paint, I don't care for paint 'trying' to give the effect of wood. My BFF did a dresser in a dark brown paint and I think it looks awful. I can't tell her that, but it's not the same, or even close, to looking like stain. If you decide to paint, chose a color instead. ;o)...See MoreDoes the couch set, rug, and coffee tables look good together?
Comments (5)Are you limited to just choosing from this collection? If you want pieces that have the same wood finish, then keep looking for what you want. Will it bother you that the sofa feet are another wood tone? I think either rug is fine. Do you have kids/pets? If so, I'd want to make sure the rug and sofas are cleanable :-)...See MoreHU-742266185906978
