For all of you looking for attractive blackout curtains: Joann Fabric sells blackout curtain liners you can sew to the back of any set of curtains you like. Their website shows a precut set but I could swear it was also available by the yard in the store. Your Biggest &Smallest Bedroom Problems?? 2013 Reader Forum |

I can't believe that's Union High School! Love what you've done with the place. Like Sassyladie, I'm always happy to see the cool side of Grand Rapids represented. Apartment Therapy Chicago | House Tour: Chuck and Holly's High School Home |

Sorry, after looking at the desk in question, I take back my earlier instructions and agree with RichardinLA. That desk looks like it'd be hard to refinish; I'd either paint, live with, or sell it. Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: How Do I Stain Veneer?#comments |

The problem is not the staining (veneer takes stain just like any other wood), it's the sanding. Use a paint stripper (there are eco-friendly ones) to remove the old finish; then when the surface is clean, scribble over it lightly with a #2 pencil. Sand lightly with very fine sandpaper until the pencil marks are gone, then don't sand any further. Stain as usual. Just be sure not to soak the veneer, which could loosen the glue. Good luck!

The English at the bottom of the page you linked to is pretty much the translation of what's said at the top, so you're not missing anything. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Magnetic Calendar#comments |

Or better yet, don't give her the $$$ and let her sort it out. Scrounging for hand-me-downs and bargains is part of the grad school experience! Apartment Therapy Chicago | CHI Good Questions: Good Sources for Budget Furnishings? |

I love the silhouettes on the bedroom wall. Are they actual antiques or reproductions? Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Southwest #18: Brooke and Cort's Downtown Walk-Up#comments#comments |
