With the air getting chilly, take the opportunity to give wild animals a helping hand. Pull out that old fur coat Grandma gave you years ago, and donate it to the Humane Society of the U.S. They'll recycle the coat into warm bedding for orphaned baby animals. Bonus: You'll get a receipt for the value of the coat for tax-deduction purposes. Visit www.hsus.org for more information.

To balance out an uneven chair or table, turn to the junk drawer. Use a sharp knife to slice off a sliver from a wine cork. Glue to the shorter leg of the table or chair to balance it out. You can also make the bottoms of furniture scratch-proof with cork too: Just slice four identical slivers of cork and glue them to the bottom of the legs of a sofa, armoire or bed. The cork is soft and will buffer the furniture from scratching the floor when moved around.
