How to build a bench.
Do you think it would look odd to use an antique vanity table as my TV stand in my room?
I have a built-in vanity in my bathroom, so the vanity table isn't purposeful but I don't want to get rid of it because it's really pretty and well-made. I hate the way normal entertainment centers / TV stands look, so I was thinking of removing the mirror and putting the TV on top. I'd replace the bench with a velvet storage ottoman that can also be pulled out and used as extra seating for friends.
Do you think that would look weird? My room isn't set up like a normal room, btw. It's got a bedroom nook, then a huge space that really looks more like a living room from a house or something. So, this would go in the "living room" area.
That sounds charming! You are very creative.
You might want to think about putting something underneath the TV to protect the wood from heat and dust that builds up quickly around a TV from static electricity. A cut piece of glass to cover the top of the vanity could work nicely. It can be custom cut to order at a glass supply shop for a few dollars.
The right small backyard landscaping ideas can help you squeeze a lot of use out of a little land. Those expansive, perfectly manicured, fancifully landscaped backyards you see in gardening magazines may be beautiful, but most of us don't have acres of land to use as our canvas. If you're like most folks in urban areas, you're probably working with just 100 square feet or even less. That small size may rule out hedge mazes and topiary menageries, but it still leaves you with plenty of room for creativity.
Going Up!
If your small backyard doesn't provide the space to expand outward, try expanding upward. Vertical landscaping lets you make use of your yard's vertical space, giving you a way to fit in your favorite flowers, ornamentals and even vegetables. Placing your plants on the vertical plane is also handy if you dislike bending or kneeling to tend low-growing plants.
Tiered potted plant stands and hangers make it easy to get started gardening upward. For more vertical options, try installing a trellis against a sunny wall, an arch or arbor over your entryway, or a pergola over your seating area. A bench with a trellis on each side or arch arcing over the seat does double duty to provide a rest stop and space for more plants. These benches works especially well for aromatic plants, bringing the plant close to nose level, where it's easier to enjoy.
Backyard Multitasking
One of the problems with a small backyard is that you can see the whole thing at a glance and then the experience is over, leaving you thinking "Is that all?" A solution is to divide the area into distinct outdoor rooms. This not only multiplies the uses you can get out of the area, it also breaks up the view and gives you the feeling of having more places in the yard to go and explore.
Use trellises or plant screens to section off one part of the yard from the rest, then design each section for a particular use. In one "room" you might create a partially paved dining area with a table and chairs, pots of aromatic herbs and efficient outdoor lighting for evening meals, while another other room might serve as a reading nook with a chaise lounge or hammock, rustling bamboo and small waterfall to create a relaxing ambiance.
