lol this is me! It's completely awful. I feel your pain. My dog got painted too (palladian blue butt ha!)

P.S. still no motivation to complete it. I probably would've finished if I had someone doing it with me. I've learned my lesson to never paint again.

Love all things chevron! Dunno if it's a recent trend though. Just seems like all the other blogs are finally catching on.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect chevron fabric for over a year! (want thicker lines) I'm afraid blogs will kill it for me before I am able to find it. So hard to find thing before they are too trendy.

I was also going to mention costco as well. Just make sure that you're only trying to do home videos. They won't do any thing that isn't your own. Found that out when I had to take my bosses videos in.

I worked for a family that had one of those fountains and my dog loved drinking from that thing. Everytime I brought him over he would only drink from it. Just make sure that you keep water in it when it's plugged in. We forgot to refill it and the motor burned out. I'm pretty sure it didn't help that my dog emptied out the fountain every time I came over.

Wow! I have the same mat too! I was contemplating painting it, but I wasn't sure it could be done. I'm definitely going to have to try this soon. I also have 2 dogs and I'm glad to hear that it helps with the hair situation. My mat is a dog hair magnet. eek! Thanks!

Also I thought I'd just mention that I've seen more modern looking "comfort mats" on worldmarket.com I would've gotten one from there but I had already bought my target one.

Oh man... I love these! My mom use to buy these for me whenever we went to Vancouver but I could never remember what it was called. I can't wait to buy the pan and start trying out recipes. Thank you!

Thanks for the post! I have a lot of extra paint and samples sitting around my apartment from painting. I'm really excited that there is a place in my area that will recycle my old paint.

Delta Creative makes a product called Soy Paints. It's low to no VOC and they also have stains.

There's a review of it here:

Looks fairly new since it was reviewed on Feb. 8th and I haven't seen it craft stores yet. I think I want to try out the stains. Hope this helps.

Vinegar won't affect the color of cloth. In fact it helps set color and keeps it from fading so fast. I use to soak new swimsuits in a vinegar bath for 30 mins to keep color from fading in those old lycra swim swimsuits (back in my swim team days) I also use it when I first wash something I just dyed to keep the color in.

Just curious does anyone know how to get mold out of suede shoes? My last apartment had a serious mold problem which happened to be in my closet! I had to throw out a lot of things and some expensive shoes which really sucked. But I do have a couple pair that I just can't part with. Also the mold wasn't actually on the suede it was the sole of the shoe, but I'm a little concerned about mold spores in the actual suede. Is there a way to make it mold free? BTW the laying out in the sun is not an option. I live in Seattle and I have no balcony.

The only problem with the 14” clothes hanger is that the rail goes front to back vs. side to side. So you would only see what is hanging in the front. I know it slides out but you’re only getting 13” (the ikea website lists it at that but I believe the rail didn’t go that far back when I saw it on store) of hanging space. If you have a lot of things you need to hang I would get the deeper one instead. With the smallest wardrobe you would still get 19” of hanging space and you can see everything at once since the rail goes side to side. I would also recommend getting drawers to at least eye level for the deeper one. I did that for my 19” pax and everything has stayed nicely folded. The 22” pax are huge but you can put twice as much stuff in there so you might be able to save some wall space. Maybe tape off on the floor where the furniture would be so you can see if you can get around it comfortably. There’s no point in getting the bigger one if you feel like it’s too crowded. If space is an issue get the 14” for folded things and a garment rack for hanging stuff. I made due with a double rod garment rack until I saved up for my pax. It held just as much as my pax and added a lot of color to my room.
