What is "ricotta salata?"

I've never understood why people paint over natural wood. No one would paint a tree.

Wood is a neutral color. You wouldn't want the painted furniture to out shine your cute dining room. Consider a bright table clothe and some chair cushions before you paint.

Why not replace the doors? They are probably hollow core. If they are hollow, maybe you can fill them with fiber fill, foam peanuts or something.

There's a reason they put pink tiles in bathrooms. The color is flattering to the skin tones. You look better every time you look in the mirror. Put up a fabulous shower curtain and some art work, and the pink tiles will fade into the background.

Ditto. I stopped using anti-persirants when they where linked with Alzheimer's. I used a crystal deod instead. Then I heard there where problems with that. So I spinkle a pinch of baking soda on the counter, moisten my fingertips, then apply to my pits. Works great.

I'm going to buy one even though I don't really have a use for it. I'd like to use it as a microwave cart, but that would require a top.

Please have these checked out before you do anything to them! They look like really nice pieces, maybe antiques, and you could destroy the value if you refinish them.

I personally don't like to paint natural wood finishes. I want to see the wood they are made from. Consider a non-permanent top, like a mirror, just placed on top, not affixed permanently.

DO NOT USE POISON! The mouse crawls behind stuff to die then it stinks. Use humane traps. Bate them with peanut butter. Put them all over the place. Mice aren't as germmy as people think. They use them in labs after all. Bleach or Lysol will disinfect everything just fine.
