What to do with a dried out cutting?
Comments (2)Plant it as directed in a one gallon black nursery pot. Water once and then put in a warmest spot and keep dry until leaves appear. Misting is ok but keep the lower stem dry. If you decide to recut the bottom, wait 4-7 days before planting. Wait a year before planting it in the ground unless you live in a very warm area with quick drying soil.

Comments (14)Thanks, Holiday-ers, I'm glad you enjoyed the view from my LR window...appreciate your gracious comments. jane...the fruit feeder has top & bottom (as seen in pic) w/hole cut out for clear glass custard cup size (so you can see when the jelly is gone!) Plus an archway between the top & bottom for spacing...rope for hanger & 2 screws from the bottom up for the orange halves. Orioles love it...also we get Catbirds who enjoy it. Squirrels do attack (sometimes)...but fruit feeder is on Shepherd's hook & they don't seem to bother it much...we tap on the windows ALOT! & send our dog out the front door often, too! LOL! Ahhh, dust bunnies are certainly multiplying around here...but it's ok...got to be out on the nice days! And I've been enjoying the bunny tureens on the forum lately, too! Thanks, everyone! Love the birds! Jeanne S....See MoreWhat to do with this odd cut out?
Comments (29)I love built ins but they are not for everybody. Love the ideas of a fireplace too. You could alsou drywall over the livingroom side of it then blow out the back and add doors it to use as a closet or built in shelving for the room behind it....See MorePlease help me figure out the best layout for my living room!
Comments (13)Hi John! I like option 1 because I don't like opening the door and falling into the living room. Option 1 is also good because it gives you the possibility of adding more seating if you find you are the just the host with the most and your parties are larger. I like the furniture pieces you have selected, they have clean lines and are contemporary and masculine, however for interest and variety I would add something curvilinear and stuffed, such as a round stuffed large ottoman on which you put up your feet, rest a tray, and it could also serve as an extra seat. If it is large enough it might even seat two (if they know each other well :) You can find one in leather, tufted or not, according to your taste. Or a velvet is sumptuous too, but I think a leather will hold up better to feet and trays being slip across it. Also, with your furniture being mostly clean lines and rectilinear it is important to have artwork and a few bibelots with curvilinear shapes and textures and material from nature. Think about what of those things you like that you might want to incorporate. Less is more of course, a few well-chosen things is all you need. Good luck!...See MoreMegan Astraus
