@KirstenWI - Thanks for the tip. I'll use it the next time I try my hand at something worth preserving.

While they're not all for me, the craftsmanship in each is enviable and beautiful in it's own right.

I have a hard time w/ fresh frozen foods - they always seem to taste a bit freezer burned to me, even if they've only been in there for a couple of weeks (and my freezer is set at an average temp.).

I use Pyrex glass containers w/plastic lids. Someone told me to put a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the food in the container & it would stop that freezer burned taste from happening.

Does this work? Are there any other ideas out there?

When I saw the 'before', I wondered why anyone would want to change the look of it, finding it to be gorgeous as is. Scrolling down to the 'after', I am happily surprised - it's wonderful, LOVE it!

I enjoy the glam throwback of the powder room, but that's pretty much it. I agree that it feels contrived & think it lacks personality.

What a difference the tufting makes, looks great!

The before pic of the floor model made me chuckle, seeing the sofa mounted on the wall like that, so typically IKEA.

I really like it. I went to the link & liked it even more when I saw it in context - maybe that would help for some?

@ Craigslist - I have the same problem in my little house. I like the lockers, but I want to sell in the Spring, have you come across any other ideas?
