Dress up built-in shelves or nooks with strands of cedar, ribbons of eucalyptus bark and tufts of dried moss. Soak the eucalyptus bark for several hours to make it pliable. Blot the excess water, and use hot glue to fasten an end of the bark to the back of the garland. Wrap it loosely around the garland and attach the other end to the back of the garland with more hot glue. To preserve the bark's color, rub in some vegetable oil. Glue on dried moss for additional decoration.

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
