Sansieveria are often touted as a low-light plant, but only because they will remain alive in low light. They won't grow much (or at all) without sunlight. This is a drag if you like to watch your plants grow, but great if you have a specimen that is the perfect size and shape for its place in your home.

Put these plants in bright light, water frequently in the summer, not as much in the winter and they will grow so much they will crack the ceramic/terracotta pots that are too small for them.

I've always hated slipcovers for dining chairs because they look like one is covering up ugliness with cleaner, newer ugliness. I can see some situations that could require them such as one can't afford better chairs, or can't afford to have their chairs professionally redone (i.e. DIY is not their strength), but generally I say no to slipcovers.

However, seeing the chair peek through has made me lighten up a bit. To make this work I think the chair needs to have a good silhouette. Then the quality of the fabric and the level of translucency are important. It must be a natural fabric of high quality and it must be bordering on sheer.

But for what that is going to cost one, why not recover, refinish, or purchase?

I once worked in an old house that had a nasty smell that came and went. It was a raccoon's den. They have more than one den at a time, hence the smell comes and goes with the animal.
