I second the idea of painting the wood -- any number of color possibilities -- black, white, orange, lime green(?). That would give the chairs a contemporary spin while preserving that groovy velvet!
The best advice for moving is don't. The second best is get rid of EVERYTHING before you move. After our last move, we filled up our ginormous Honda Pilot 4 or 5 times (and I mean filled every sp...
The key question is whether the product is at a Target STORE or from the Target WEBSITE. Products in the stores, especially the furniture, are not going to be very high quality or very durable. H...
I agree that for its size, the price seems very good. Although the quality might not be there. I like the idea of painting an unfinished piece. I did some web searching but couldn't find anythin...
One of the best ways to be durable in the kis to own as little as possible -- figure out what you need and get it, and nothing more. I've had to do that continuously for 20 years now because of sm...
I live 5 blocks from the new president, but on the wrong side of what used to be the DMZ line between "good" and "bad." It's the most beautiful street I've lived on, even though it still has a few...

You're right on about the milkweed and Monarch butterflies. In fact, milkweed is the preferred food for monarch caterpillars--it's what my son's class always collects when they "raise" Monarchs. ...
I don't have the references, but I have seen on TV paint systems for laminate and melamine, which is basically what things like the LACK are clad in. I would do some internet searching. A good pa...
It strikes me as a belated and half-hearted attempt to reclaim home furnishings shoppers lost to Target and Ikea. There doesn't seem to be enough here, and certainly not enough style, to bring Wal...
