Quaking Aspen trees (Populus tremuloides) are very popular trees for a number of reasons. They are drought tolerant once established, are very hardy in nature, are native to Colorado, and are striking in appearance with their fluttering green leaves and stark white bark. Aspen trees are prized for their quick growth, growing nearly two feet per year until they reach mature size. Aspens can grow up to 70 feet tall in nature, but in residential environments, they are more likely to reach 50-60 fee

One of the many things that I really loathed about our house when we moved into it was the nasty old, plain, flat wood bi-fold closet doors. I have had my heart set on replacing them ever since we moved in; however, when I priced it out - I just couldn't afford what I wanted! 5-panel Shaker bi-fold closet door I wanted at over $200 each! So as usual, the wheels in my head started turning: how could I get the look I wanted at a price I could afford??? Do it myself of course! I formulated a plan and decided to try it out as part of my home studio renovation, before I tackled all the closets in the house! MATERIALS: - Straight, flat bi-fold closet doors. - Several feet of straight, flat casing, approx 2.5" wide. - Wood glue - DAP (white, paintable silicone) - Sand-paper - Primer & paint - Door handles / pulls and extra-long screws TOOLS: - Pencil - Measuring tape - Mitre saw - Micro-pinner (brad-nailer) with 1" brads. - An extra set of hands is useful! - Drill PROCEDURE: 1) Lightly sand front surface of closet doors. Wipe clean with a damp rag. 2) Measure length of closet door and subtract the width of your casing from the bottom and top (length of closet - 5" in this case). Cut as many lengths of casing as you will need for each side of each bi-fold door according to your measurements (in this case, 8). 3) Leaving closet doors in place and working from right to left, place first length of casing in position on the left side of the first bi-fold door (leaving 2.5" at the top, and 2.5" at the bottom). This first one is a little tricky, because you will need to place it slightly away from the left edge of the bi-fold door so that it will not inhibit the movement of the door when it opens and closes (in this case, we placed it .5" in from the left edge of the bi-fold door). When you are confident that you have it in the right position, apply a thin strip of wood glue to the back of the length of casing, and secure it in place on the bi-fold door with your micro-pinner. 4) Your going to do the same thing with your next length of casing on the right side of the first bi-fold door, but this time, you can bring the length of casing right flush to the right edge of the bi-fold door, and secure in place with wood glue and micro-pinner. 5) Start on the left side of the 2nd bi-fold door with your next length of casing, bringing the casing flush to the left edge of the 2nd bi-fold door, and secure in place. 6) Place the next length of casing in position on the right side of the 2nd bi-fold door (flush to the edge) and secure in place. 7) Repeat this process for each bi-fold door, until you reach the right side of the last bi-fold door. Here, you will want to position the last length of casing slightly in from the right edge of the bi-fold door so that it does not inhibit the movement of the door when it opens and closes (again in this case, .5"). When you are confident that you have it in the right position, secure the length of casing to the bi-fold door with wood glue and micro-pinner. 8) Measure the top and bottom widths of each bi-fold door, and cut lengths of casing for the top and bottom of each door according to your measurements. Secure top and bottom pieces of casing to each bi-fold door (making sure ends are flush with edges of vertical casing pieces) with wood glue and micro-pinner. 9) Take the length of your vertical pieces of casing and divide by 5 to find the measurements of where to mark the interior space of each bi-fold door into 5 equal sections. Measure the width of each section, cut a piece of casing according to your measurement and secure to bi-fold door with wood glue and micro-pinner on your marks (you will want these to be in the same place for every door so that they all align properly). 10) Use DAP to fill all cracks and gaps. (See here for more information if you haven't done this before.) 11) Paint all closet doors with 1 coat of primer. Allow to dry. 12) Paint all closet doors with 2 coats of paint. Allow to dry. 13) Mark and drill coordinating holes for handles, and install handles (you will probably need to pick up some screws for your handles that are longer than the ones they came with, I used 1 3/4" machine screws) My DIY 5 Panel Shaker-style bi-fold closet doors for about $30 each! Enjoy your "new," very affordable closet doors!

Years ago there was a teacher at my boarding school that eventually went on to write a series of books about Australia at war. The Tomorrow Series. In the first book Ellie (the narrator of the books) says that: "time spent in reconaissance is seldom wasted" It is a quote that frequently pops into my mind, along with "touch it once" (but that is a post for another day). If I remember correctly, Ellie names Napoleon as the source of the quote, who was probably referring to military type matters when he said it. Nevertheless, to my mind it is perfect for renovating. My number one renovating tip would be to do your research. Take your time making decisions, think everything through and especially take the time to check references. You are much less likely to make decisions that you might regret if you are not too hasty. This applies to everything from selecting tradesmen, to making decisions on fixtures, colour schemes and layout. The colours that we have chosen are Dulux Oyster Linen for the weatherboards and Aspen Snow for the trims. My sister in law is an interior designer and recommends painting a house a minimum of three colours to make it visually interesting and her suggestion for the roof is a neutral shade, complimenting the other colours you have chosen. A neutral shade for the roof is probably a wise choice as it will need to work with any future exterior colours changes. For years I have been collecting pictures of pretty Sydney weatherboard houses so I had a reasonably good idea of what colours we were going to use long ago. Even so we painted lots of sample colours onto the side of the house before comitting to a decision. The front door is gloss black. The door people were horrified that I was painting a cedar door black. As a teenager though I lived in the States for a few years and really admired how much effort the Americans put into decorating their houses, in particular the seasonal decorations on porches. A wreath looks stunning on a glossy black or red painted door. I would have loved a red front door had we gone with a grey/white colour scheme but that had a more Paddo inner city style weatherboard feel to me rather than a beach house! The new bathroom is now finished, hurrah! All that we are waiting for is a mirror to hang over the vanity. This bathroom is fairly small so we were very careful with our use of the space and I am super happy with how it turned out. I absolutely love the travertine floor! Now we are fiddling about with this bathroom: Yesterday we moved everything around in it a number of times using a chair as a toilet and blue painters tape to mark out the shower screen location. We are doing a wet room area similar to the one that Jenna and Josh (from The Block) did in their ensuite, with the bath positioned behind the shower screen: Image We are now wondering whether or not to run a shelf all the way along the length of the wall. Josh and Jenna stopped theirs at the shower screen, probably so they didn't need to have a kick in the glass but we are thinking of continuing the shelf all the way along. I would love to hear what people think about this idea! Does anyone have a shelf in their shower or one of those nook things, are they hard to clean? Love to hear any thoughts/feedback regarding this!

The comforting classic looks found within each of the divine rugs from the Aspen Collection will add the final and flawless finishing touch to your space! These Hand Loomed pieces are exqusisitely crafted and offer a natural class and grace to your decor space. Made with 50% Nylon,50% Tencel in India, and has Low Pile. Spot Clean Only, One Year Limited Warranty. Pantone Colors Include: 15-4101,11-4201 Care Instructions: To ensure a longer lasting quality, steps must be taken during care and cleaning to protect the durability of your polished piece. High powered vacuums, more often than not, pull out of the back of rugs, causing sprouts and a generally unattractive appearance to a once flawless rug. To counter this effect, place your vacuum starting at the edge of the rug, using a low setting and high elevation, or if possible, use hand held attachments when cleaning. As well, over time, the fibers within your piece will unavoidably begin to weaken. When this occurs, regularly, yarn will poke out from the edges of your rugs, and in order to prevent pulling, it is crucial that you do not simply pull the yarn out, but rather, cut these weak fibers using scissors to maintain the impeccable quality of your Surya rug. As well, if spills occur, it is crucial that you immediately tend to the area, blotting it with a towel to remove the moisture and to prevent any stain from setting.
