Southernwayfarer, I think that most carpet stores that sell roll-end remnants can arrange the binding for you. There is also a carpet-binding tape but I don't believe that it's as durable as a sewn...
We finally added shelves (2 dollars each! In the IKEA kids section!) and placemats and a dining area.
I have the same placemats on my breakfast table. My table is the Mella tabl...
Please don't laugh, but now that we are almost at the end, I finally found my copy of The Book. Apartment Therapy , I mean.
I've felt overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that need...
AmandaC - My first choice for modern lamps at modest prices is Ikea. Before I moved to the hinterland I purchased three table lamps for a bedroom as well as a wall lamp and a ceiling fixture, and I...
Instead of renting a truck and hiring labor separately, you might check into some of the "two guys with a truck" services that exist in most places. They're not moving companies, but if all you nee...
I missed the participation of people in other regions and couldn't always find the other groups. I stayed with the New York group since I do live in the state of New York, although this upstate are...
Regarding dining chairs - I have six at my dining table but the table can expand to seat eight or ten. For eight I would bring the two Balser chairs from the breakfast table; for ten I'd have to ad...
If you can't redecorate your entire apartment in 8 weeks because you don't have the funds, should you just redecorate one room at a time?
The last time around, I was between job...
The main project for my bedroom is to take down the draperies and install woven-wood roman shades, which I already have. It goes against the grain to remove custom-made draperies, but these are hig...
Two photos of the living room (without rug, as it's not here yet) are now at flickr. I need suggestions about pillows for the sofa; the back is fairly hard and it looks sort of bare.
It looks like I posted my latest update in a thread that was no longer current, so I'll summarize here: after an interruption because of illness and work, I'm starting to catch up. Yesterday evenin...
I've fallen way behind - illness and work - but I've started to catch up. This afternoon I assembled a sofa for the living and arranged the furniture. Pictures and a mirror are in position to be hu...
Perfect timing for the living room, because I now have just about everything that is needed, plus some time off - and it's the room that needs the most work.
I can hardly believe that I'm doing this in the middle of the Cure, but I have had or am having dinner or lunch guests three times in four days, or maybe four times in five days, including lunch fo...
The lamp for the dining room arrived yesterday and I installed it today. No thanks to the instructions, which were very detailed about the things I knew how to do (connecting the wiring) and sorely...
SD913, the runway console is deep enough to hold a place setting. Would you be placing it against a wall?
For reference, the narrow tables that are used in meeting rooms where people s...
