There are several dedicated sprinkler heads with motion sensors for scaring off deer.

The owners are lucky then because apparently their deer are not related to the Bambi Gang of marauders around my garden. Beautifully done stonework with a very peaceful zen vibe. Thank you for your answer.

Do you mean in the kitchen specifically or in the whole house? In the kitchen have a cupboard or two with safe things - plastic food boxes, utensils towels, aprons, plastic bowls, down low. Put catches on anywhere that has dangerous or breakable stuff. Teach them (show and repeat repeat repeat!) that some cupboards are allowed and some off limits. (Level of success in this may depend on the kid. My eldest has always listened, my youngest doesn't) Elsewhere in the house, same principle. Put the stuff that is safe for them in the lower cabinets or in storage boxes - e.g. in my hall I store shoes, hats, gloves etc in soft ikea boxes or tub trugs under a table or bench. If they pull it all out, well, it is fun for them, doesn't take me an age to put back, and they feel they have had some lee-way. However, I don't do this in every room, as I personally don't agree with putting everything that is not theirs, out of reach or above their eye level. If you don't do this, they will hopefully learn that not everything is there for them to play with and you have items that are yours. For example, I have my glasses and phone on my bedside table in the morning - if any small child reaches for them they are told "ahuh! MUMMY's...!!!" Usually stops them in their tracks at least for a second! Again, success depends on the child but if they are told often enough they will have learnt what is off limits by the time they are, maybe 4? As for keeping the child corner tidy - use boxes, bins, shelves and put them behind the sofa when not in use./ Re paint scuffs - I dont' allow crayons and pencils anywhere but the kitchen, no hands on the walls, or things with wheels to be scuffed against the wall, BUT I accept it will happen and I'll repaint in a year or two when they are more in control of their bodies!

How will you pose for your Miss Photogenic photo op? Will you go with the Carmen Miranda fruit bowl tiara? Or would the Easter egg thingamadooeys suffice? Decisions, decisions..... Maybe Grover could photo shop each one with your dress so we can decide? We wouldn't want to break any decorating rules because we do have our reputations to uphold. LOLOLOLOLOL

Window treatment Ideas for Living Room

Why not do both? We have several styles of Roman Shades at The Shade Store! I'd consider inside mounting our Flat Roman and flanking each window with stationary panels in our Ripple Fold Drapery. Curve our decorative drapery rods to the contour of the walls. I'd suggest the stationary panels to cover from just under the crown moulding down to the floor, this will add height and drama to the room. If you need any pricing or ideas please contact me! priley@theshadestore.com

What style of replacement windows would you advise?
Q

We plan to upgrade the windows at the front of our house and would like to adapt a style to suit the house, originally built in 1960's but renovated some 2/3 times over years. The windows are square bay, we live close to a busy road so will go triple glaze for noise control as we did this at the back of the house and was very successful. We also plan to upgrade the front door. What style of windows and front door would you suggest, many thanks?

I agree. We have motion sensor sprinklers as well, but our deer have become used to them and now ignore them. We've had to build cages around our raised beds.

They have a lot of deer control there - sprinklers and little radios with motion sensors, plus a few dogs. I think now they have put up tall netting as well.
