Linens and Things and Home Depot and Loews and IKEA

Since we've been making room for two more kids at our house, we've been looking all over for storage solutions -- our best bets are as follows:

At Linen's and Things, we recently solved our laundry room problem by finding three (the fourth we got at the Seatac Mall store) large laundry baskets with lids for 11.99 and two smaller baskets for $8.99, an under the bed box with wheels, and wooden tv trays with a holder.

At Home Depot, we liked the prebuilt shelving units -- they seemed good quality for the price and also a medicine cabinet.

At Loews I found one of the hanging shoe holders for $9.99 and turned it into something to store all our stocking caps, gloves, scarves and other miscellaneous cold weather gear.

At IKEA, I found I liked their 2x4 square box shelves that cost $99 since they could lay flat or stand on end and were really sturdy. Bob put them together in about 1 hour. And they came in your choice of color. I have one laying flat in the living room for games, coloring and probably for the tv set.

Melakwa Lake Hike

  • Icewater
    These are some pictures taken during our Labor day weekend hike to Melakwa Lake. This hike is one of the many found in the Denny Creek recreation area in the Cascade Mountains of WA state, at the exit off I-90 bearing the name. Follow the signs to Denny Creek road, pass the campground and eventually you get to the Melakwa Lake trailhead. Total trip length 8 miles, approximately 9 hours with 2950 gain. Good stopping points at 1 mile in at slippery rocks and at the second falls about 45 minutes further. Hemlock pass is another 2.5 miles. Once you reach the top, the trail drops 1/2 a mile, 350 feet to the lake.

Mushrooms

  • Smushrooms
    These photo's were taken yesterday by my husband, Bob on our day workshop on Mushrooms at the Cedar River Watershed in Washington state. See my blog about this event for more information. I don't know all the names of the mushrooms shown. The photo's were taken with a Nikon. All photo's and text copyright Robert and Sheri Harper.
