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...

I just read an article about this. Dr Neil Stanley, of the University of Surrey in Britain says that his research shows that, on average, couples suffered 50% more sleep disturbances when sleeping ...

@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 couldn't get past the unfenced pool and the small child. So dangerous. I think the program would be much improved if they had more time to plan before the clock started ticking. On ...

I love this look. I respond to it so deeply and immediately every time it's featured anywhere. However, as a big-time reader, I could never live with books arranged by color or books ...

Here's my technique for turning eggs without breaking the center: start by putting your spatula under the edge of the egg closest to the yolk. Once you have some of the egg on the spatula, use your...

I really don't need this device to know how my dog's day was: From my dog's appointment book: 8am to 10:13am Sleep on the window seat overlooking road, with chin propped o...

I've got a season pass for it on my TiVo, and it shows up once or twice a week, so it's still showing. Go to hgtv.com, I'm sure there's a page for the show that lists the episodes, and schedules.

@see - I'm sure you must mean $5 for the grout whitening pen. I have one by clorox that cost about that. It kind of works. I love the look of mixed whites, so I might vote for white a...

The plant is too dark. Try something reflective to brighten the corner a little.

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...

I have one of these in my entry. Changing the bulb is easy - one of the points is hinged. However, what I've never figured out how to clean it properly. It has little bits of stuff co...

You need something next to the stove - it's unsightly, plus the kitchen needs some kind of boundary, something to stop the eye. What about a tall bookshelf or cabinet with doors that you could use ...

My keys are on a big locking carabiner from EMS, that I clip to my purse strap when they aren't in use. Usually, I arrange them to hang inside the purse, so they won't jingle. It's a little geeky...

I want this problem. Instantly, I thought of books, floor to ceiling. All my cookbooks in one place, plus, many other books. And, I'd put in a table and a chair or two, so I could eat breakfast, ...

I had a couple of early Ikea catalogs from the 70's. They were all in Swedish. I had to read them with a Swedish Dictionary by my side.
