Final step, apply auto wax and rub and remove.

My rent went up 75% about a year ago right before everything started to fall apart when a real estate agent got involved, now all Im going is paying rent. Forget about taking home any money. We are loosing a business a week here in Santa Barbara.

It's best to be your own land lord, screwed otherwise. We have a condo, not much, but we are chipping away and it will be ours someday.

The people at DWR are clueless and they don't care. Half the products that they sell are copies (fakes), but they don't talk about that.

Not only do they use modern furniture they use vintage when ever possible. They use vintage Bauer thru out, which looks great with their food. And their food always taste fresh and tasty.

I was just wondering how everyone felt about using wood flooring on walls?

And the thick mattress in the bedroom always bugs me, the correct thickness needs to be 8" thick.

There was story a while back that the NY Times wrote about antiques was not original and they didn't call them copies but FAKEs. My all time favorite is the Florence Knoll sofa and "the perfect sofa". I picked up mine for $100 on CL. You don't have to pay a of money. It's crazy that people won't pay 2K for a sofa but they don't mind paying big bucks for their BMW, Benz......

On another note: Herman Miller fiberglass chairs clean up nicely with bleach and water and finished with a nice coat of auto wax.

I would like to see, noted by bepsf:

...the Knoll Sofa - the first true fully-upholstered sofa - was created in the 17th century and had very high backs and arms.

I tell my customers just to buy a new one, it's only $300. It's not a big purchase, plus why risk an electrical fire, plus the new ones are clean.

I got mine from Areaware, wanted one from the first day I saw it. When my kids saw it, Davis (7) and Katie (12) each wanted one for their room. My friends on the other hand don't quite get.

The pink recliner looks like my grandmother's. The Flight chair is a joke, I can't think of one good design element in the chair. The Dodo chair by Toshiyki Kita is a design statement.

Oh remember Sharper Image. I use to buy their sales items like 75% off or more and we know where they are. I can buy anything that DWR has for a lot less anytime of the year.

OH please. They have a "pine bookend" for $150 for the pair. It's a 4x4, 10" long. You have got to be clueless to buy a dollars worth of lumber for $150. There was a leather Klein tool bag that was interesting for $200, but the retail is like $80 everywhere else.

Target has one for $29.99. Make for $5, try to sell for $110.
Not from me.
