I have a mini- painting gallery which I rotate out every few months for new material. the paint is acrylic, so I'm not too worried about humidity damage. The canvases are all less than 6" x 6". I d...

Umm... review local building standards and get houses repaired/built to a higher standard that will resist 100 mph winds? I lived in Lethbridge Alberta for six years... and wind was a ...

They are the best!!! I have four in my kitchen in two columns of two. It's a bit of pain to line up, but worth the effort. In a moment of self flattery, I like to think that it was my ...

One of the beauties of IKEA IVAR is you can expand it or switch it out. I've had mine for almost twenty years and I've added, subtracted, stained and reconfigured as needed. It's all part of the fl...
