You could not pay me enough money to go to Ikea (or any other big box store or mall) on Black Friday. Not all the money in the world would be enough. Maybe I'd go for World Peace or an...

For me, this is the downside of paint names. It's easier to refer to paints by name, but I hate it when I love a paint color which has a name that doesn't appeal to me. Right now, I'm...

Great sofa. I use nice white quilts to do cover the body of my white sofas (the arms remain bare) because dark-colored pet hair was ruining them. They have a nice texture and they are ...

I get all my frames at a local junk/antique store which sells framed second-hand pictures. In the back they have really terrible pictures (water-spotted, poor quality prints for example) for 50 to...

@farmhousemoderne Do you use the baking soda and borax mixture dry? Do you add water to make a paste? Or water to make a slurry? I want to try it on my marble bathroom tiles.

I've just had a kitchen island built and I like the dog bed idea. But what I need more is a place (apart from the kitchen counter) where the cat could eat without interference from the dog. I wish...

I've done dog treats - chicken breast sliced thin along the grain and dried in the oven overnight. I can't believe I've never thought of doing fruit and tomatoes. I'm trying it today.

Yay, you! A difficult job well done. I'm quite an experienced seamstress - I've made slipcovers, boxed cushions, a wedding dress etc. I'd rate napkins with mitered corners as quite tr...
