Leigh E's Profile

The carpet is from West Elm a few years back - I have the same one and loved seeing how you styled this one!

I DID THE EXACT SAME THING. Low-balled a Craigslist post on a mantel that turns out to be too big for the space, couldn't fit it in my Honda, couldn't fit it in a borrowed Jeep, had to borrow tools from the seller and spend half an hour wrenching it apart...

And now I have to figure out how to re-finish a character-less Minwax finish on a piece of furniture with small crevices and details, as well as install in my rental without altering the baseboard. Poorly laid plan, or worst laid plan? Any advice?

I second the suggestion to keep them small - I made them a week or two ago and got impatient with rolling so many small dough balls, so I made bigger ones; they become quite difficult to eat unless you flatten the dough some. Also, as I really like lemon, I added some extra lemon juice to the filling and recommend against that as well; it took them forever to set up.
