Could try this: Install three hooks, one at the center and one at each end of the arch. Then drape a piece of translucent fabric, like mosquito netting or light muslin, from the center one, and cat...
Kate (NC): You've got an extra zero in there, I think. It'd be about $750,000 now. Great price appreciation, for sure, but not quite as crazy as you thought.
This isn't my style either, though I don't quite understand why all the haters are piling on.
But you know what would make it quite a bit better? Vintage hub caps. Nineteen-sixties and...
Rather than using one giant piece of art, I'd arrange a mix of big and small pieces, fitted together to make a neat rectangular array. It's a very cheap solution--everyone has a few things lying ar...
A product called Novus plastic polish is EXACTLY what you need. It comes in three grades of abrasiveness, and you'd probably get the most benefit out of No. 2. I use it on flea-market finds all the...

I'd suggest gentle rubbing with lemon oil and 0000-grade steel wool. Try to avoid getting the oil on the upholstery, because you don't want grease spots. Then finish with butcher's wax or beeswax, ...
Julianna is right, and this needs a master switch (yes, there's one on the power strip, but it's not very accessible).
Those transformers are active even when nothing's plugged into t...
I ordered blinds a year or so ago, after looking at a LOT of sources. By far the cheapest custom ones I found were at www.justblinds.com. (I, like you, have odd-sized windows that required custom w...
Choose an inconspicuous spot, maybe in a closet or somewhere, and try rubbing the finish down with extra-fine (0000) steel wool. If that produces a finish you like, you could wrap a pad of it aroun...

I've seen these around now and then. They were made by either Goodform or Shaw-Walker--I forget which--and will show up eventually if you search for those names regularly...

They are extremely graceful, and I love them. But every vintage one I've ever seen has bad water damage. If only they had better sealants back then...
