. The exterior nesting boxes have viewing windows and can be accessed from the outside, which makes collecting eggs a bit easier. The coop also has a solar light and a solar fan inside. The fan kicks in at a certain temperature, which helps keep the space cool in the summer. The middle section, fenced in with chicken wire, connects the chicken coop to the goat house — a favorite spot for the hens on rainy days
The coop itself has six nests, which Mitchell made out of milk crates. Having heard horror predator stories, Mitchell lined her chicken house with ½-inch-thick hardware cloth — a sturdy netting that's stronger than chicken wire and has much smaller holes. There are also two layers of hardware cloth on the floor to prevent rats and snakes from burrowing in.

Stairs: Rise-to-run ratio. The total of the rise and run should add up to 17 inches. Practically speaking, this means that as the run gets shorter, the rise should get steeper for the stair to feel comfortable as you walk. There are limits, of course. A rise of more than 8¼ inches is going to be too steep for many people. **Like these stairs for the basement (wood steps).

Aniline dye is sold in powder form, to be mixed with water, alcohol or both for application. Many professionals use water-soluble dyes for overall color, because they go on evenly and maintain their integrity well; alcohol-based versions dry faster but don't hold their color as reliably. Dye powders come with instructions for mixing amounts and methods. You can tinker with the color by adding a little more to intensify it or a little less to lighten it. Apply the dye to unsealed wood with a brush, a foam applicator or a sponge. You'll probably need two to three coats unless you want the color to be very sheer. Allow at least 12 hours for drying between coats. Apply a clear sealer as a finish coat to preserve the dye and add shine. Tip: Wear rubber or latex gloves to prevent dyed hands as you work.
“One of the most forgiving fabrics is an ultra suede. It appears delicate, yet it’s one of the most durable and cleanable coverings made.”
If you've ever had a dog or a small child, you know what a pain it is to put up and take down door and stairway gates. This built-in, retractable version not only is a cinch to pull out when you need it, but also looks way more attractive than the portable kind.
Benjamin Moore's Aura paint for its "scrubability." Is that a word? I think it is if you have kids who color on the walls. Bottom line is that if you select excellent-quality paint and the right finish for high-traffic areas, you'll have an easier time cleaning the walls without fear of taking off the paint.
Choose furniture with storage. While built-in storage is wonderful, don't forget to consider storage when choosing your furnishings. Storage ottomans give you a quick spot for stashing magazines, toys or throw blankets.
