Our rods are made out of galvanized conduit pipe and the drapes are canvas dropcloths. We cut the pipe in half in order to get it into place, then used a plastic wine cork to rejoin the two parts. A central rod support protects the join. Unconventional Ways to Hang Curtains |

I have an ancient Osterizer and the original small Mason-type jar that came with it. It actually doesn't work all that well for anything other than liquids even though it is shaped in the way Slow Lorus describes. I use it anyway, but it's a bit frustrating. Make a Blender Out of a Mason Jar |

I'm looking for something like that to do over in burlap ... but I think I'm too old to wait for it to hit the thrift store again in a decade or two, though. Before & After: Thrift Store Reject To Tufted Treasure Little Green Notebook |

An armoire my mother bought in Saskatchewan a long time ago and restored -- it was totally chip carved by hand. I used to imagine a Ukrainian farmer working on it through many a long prairie winter ... My mother sold it, not knowing I adored it. Object Lust: What's Your Gem That Got Away? |

We had these numdha rugs in our home when I was a child in the 60's. When my mother vacuumed, she'd pile them on her bed where I'd tunnel into them and make a yurt-like tent for myself. My mother's rugs were quite large; I have two smaller ones I bought from a fair-trade store several years ago. Identify This Rug from Garage Sale? Good Questions |

My kitchen had a chalkboard wall for about 24 hours recently. The lighting turned out to be way too inadequate for all that blackness - it just looked smudgy and awful. The wall is white again now. Come to the Dark Side: Black Kitchens |
