Deck Design Ideas That Utilize Decorative Trim Moulding
You have created the perfect plan for the interior layout of your home, but why should you stop there? There is nothing like a house that looks just as good on the outside as it does within, so apply your creative talents to the entire structure with some of these deck design ideas that can turn any boring platform into a vibrant living space that is just as comfortable as the rest of the home.
Decorative trim moulding is typically found indoors. In the corners where walls, ceilings and floors meet, it can be used to create a stunning look without much trouble. Intelligent designers, however, never let themselves be limited by custom, and are no strangers to including trim moulding in other areas.
Your deck design ideas should also include railings and vertical posts. Decorative trim moulding provides a huge accent that conventional squared posts cannot match. There are few wooden deck railings that include decorative shaped cuts, so the fact that lightweight trim can be tacked on to any wood surface without requiring structural reinforcement makes it the perfect material solution for DIY enthusiasts who are tired of their old look. Moulding takes stains just as well as any other timber, and can thus be perfectly color matched to existing fixtures.
Deck design ideas are not only limited to the actual deck or patio either. Where these structures share edges with the main building, trim can be used to create an interior feel in an outdoor space. The inclusion of trim molding on exterior walls by decks can complete the enclosed look begun with the railing, or serve as a chair rail part way up the wall to protect siding and finishes from chair back marks.
Decorative trim moulding for outdoor use on decks and around their edges can be made of materials other than wood. Adding stone, cement or expanded polystyrene moldings is a great way to mix things up and create a classy outdoors look without spending a fortune. These materials are also nice for creating railings and retaining walls that match stone or flagstaff patios.

what's the best scratching post for cats that will keep them from scratching the furniture?
If I try to trim my cat's nails she'll scratch me and won't allow me to do it, but I need her to stop clawing my mom's leather furniture and the wooden cabinets. She doesn't like the rope scratching posts. Can someone recommend a good post that will dull her nails so they aren't so sharp and something she'll be likely to use instead of the furniture, thanks
the taller the better! home made or not there more interested in them if threes height! - as high as the room allows they can cost as little as £30 on ebay to £300 at a store for the high ones but making them is simple just need carpet rope and wood/heavy cardboard and can be made from as little as £5
she will learn to scratch it if her usual places become nasty to her just show her how or use the cardboard catnip filled ones and tie them to it to help her learn

and you can use an ammonia free citrus bases fragrance (usually available at vets and pet stores) to deter from scratching in unwanted areas as well as an encouragement spray like feliway or cat nip to encourage scratching on the post
