Closet storage is a premium for most of us, but a lucky few will at one time or another be in a position to actually decide how big their closets will be. Unfortunately you may now be faced with the agonizing decision between designing many large storage areas for storing all sorts of items, or skimping on closets and mazimizing your living space.

Well, to help you with some of the decisions that you will be faced with when trying to figure out exactly how many and how large your storage areas should be, I’ve come up with a few key points to keep in mind. Making sure that your closets are functional, and not over or undersized, will end up creating an easy to live in space with a good tradeoff between living and non-living storage space.

Advice For Buying Trees For Your Landscape

Monday, December 8th, 2008

It is almost time for spring chores and at the top of your list should be planting a tree or two.

Planting trees at your house helps the environment, of course, but it also enhances the beauty of your home investment.

Following are 3 of my favorite trees for planting in the home landscape.

River Birch

Clump river birch trees are the ideal popular anchor tree for any landscape. They have stately lines and a fairly fast growth rate that makes them fill in quickly. If you have areas of your landscape that are constantly retaining water, planting a river birch or two will help to sop up the soggy area and make that birch flourish.

The river birch can get some damage from Japanese beetles during the summer, so be prepared to spray them should populations get out of hand. In addition, you want to give them an iron injection is the leaves become pale yellow.

Crab Apple Tree

Old timers and young folks alike love the standby spring flowering crab apple tree. With its bright pink or stunning white flowers that bloom in the early spring, the crab is a beautiful addition to any landscape scent. They are also great within planting beds because dwarf varieties are available for any situation. They even come in weeping forms.
