Best perk I ever had was free fresh eggs when I had a landlady who kept chickens.

Any decent battery charger will switch off when batteries have reached full charge. As a physicist, I find the suggestion that people get up at 2 am to unplug their chargers just plain silly. Do you really think there are contemporary phone using lithium-ion batteries with chargers which can't detect a full charge?

Though a timer is a good energy conservaion suggestion, and likely better for the charger.

Way to go! You've recreated the look for less - and a handmade mural adds more value than any wallpaper.

The it's/its confusion is a very easy mistake to make, but the "steam convention oven" typo is hilarious. I'm fairly certain that should read "convection".

I love his etsy shop and really admire the beautiful quilts! I love the combination of the images enabled by contemporary technology with the traditional quilting method.

(Since most of the images depict other galaxies, it is really a misnomer to call them solar system quilts.)

We put up bathymetric maps of the world oceans just like wallpaper, with wallpaper paste. It works! It's been up for 6 years now, no damage.

Butterflies are the new pirates.

There are some original handmade, signs of this sort, with rather more creative messages by etsy seller reqbat:

Oh, goodness, that's my chair! Thanks AT! Thanks all, for your compliments and feedback. Much of the fabric I block printed with my own lino blocks. It is indeed a patchwork and not a single fabric

I'm not a germophobe and happily buy antique furniture. I inspected it when I found it and looked at it carefully once I had removed the original cover. It did not smell at all and had been in the sun. If it had any pet urine which I myself could not smell, my cat would have smelled and reacted immediately. If you are concerned about germs or allergy issues, you can do still do something similar (in whatever fabric suits your fancy) with your own used and somewhat damaged furniture, or furniture where you know more about the provenance.

I think our culture is a little too quick to treat everything as disposable. A little love, imagination and patience can transform items!

Best,
