When I order fabric, even if it’s 20+ yards, I re-measure to ensure the correct yardage was delivered. While I am counting, I look for any flaws in the fabric too. Once you start cutting, you are potentially out-of-luck. Glad to hear you had a happy ending with customer service.

. However, the photo of the porch - showing the package - isn’t my porch.


I am waiting for the first art exhibit of package delivery photos. I myself have quite the portfolio building up.

Two years after moving, a company sent a replacement to our last address. I had deleted that address from my online account and the original item had not even been sent there. The current owner left at guardhouse and DD2 picked up for me. Seriously, wth.


Are they sending you another replacement? They can have the delivery company pick up the incorrect delivery. So frustrating!

Rejuvenate also makes a product to use on the aluminum sections of your furniture. I wouldn’t paint the glass. Instead, use placemats or a tablecloth.

Black would be a good choice to spray paint the metal parts only, here's the look...

Are you sure that the glass top isn't just set onto the metal frame? Have you tried taking the table into the yard and turning it over to see if the glass would fall out? I wouldn't paint the glass or fabric, just the metal. Rustoleum Outdoor Project Video Library.

The drawer fronts are deceiving on this maple dresser.

Closed (looks like 12 drawers)


Open (7 drawers)

One more vote for painting the dresser white with gold touches. It's a beautiful piece and I think it will look amazing. Of course, it's for a 16-year-old, so maybe she would like the grey/pink details, something colorful and creative.

Thanks everyone! i love the idea of white walls and I’m also going to put hardwood on the floors in her room and rip out the dirty beige carpet. she had a white with gold knobbed dressser but its poor quality. I love this golf wall decor someonr posted in this thread. So far i havr primed it. I would like to leave the top and bottom natural wood. Her bedding is boho themed. with dark blues / charcoal .

Winter clothes away?? We had snow showers all day yesterday. Sigh.


I like both jackets as well. If the buttons on the navy jacket are too prominent, consider new buttons. You might be able to remove the buttons entirely on the flap pockets and simply tack the flap down.

The dress and jacket look adorable on you. You can wear camel so I don't have to. :)

I like it all! I do love pique in the summer, so classic and cool. And you have such a warm smile, KSWL. Also sending hugs. Hope DS2 and DH are knocking it out of the park.

I agree, these jeans are WAY too big. I would suggest a smaller size, but I think the cut is made for a larger thighed human. Maybe it is just me, but the pink blazer looks big also. Is this a regular or petite size? When the blazer/top is longer than the crotch area, the legs look shorter. You have a nice shape—show it off!

Those Toteme pants are gorgeous. For some reason, I just thought the groin to knee area in the BB pants looked excessively fabric swathed, lol.

The proportions are definitely wrong, but what I've seen from H & M hasn't been the best quality. Bumble, I had to look up barrel jeans. Not seeing anything like that around here yet. Have to say I hope we don't, but I won't be wearing them, nor do I plan to wear pleated pants again LOL. I do think the blazers are too long; how tall are you KSWL?
