Have any suggestions for our stairs?
Comments (11)You find that kind of dark shadowing even on newer furniture. We have an oak living room set, Amish made, and on one arm chair, the dark has started where body oils have accumulated on the wood. It's almost 'gunky' and you feel like you could scrape it off carefully. Oils oxidize and darken, just like zits. LOL. Back when I was a child, wooden floors were the norm and not not the exception and wooden floors and furniture was oiled to keep it looking shiny. It was common for the lesser used part of a floor or stair tred to darken from lack of wear. I think your project may turn out to be less of a problem than you think, and the wood looks like it's in good repair. The steel wool and soap will remove paint spatterings. I use it routinely on my wood floors when I find paint spatters, and that's so common when people use rollers, as opposed to brushes....See MoreCan't find any good reviews of carpet. Any suggestions?
Comments (17)Stanton, Mashland, Karastan (higher end) are wonderful products, and I would go wool. However, Smart Strand is a good medium priced option. Agree with Elizabeth B…the padding makes a huge difference. I always recommend SmartStep. It has a waterproof barrier which keeps spills (and other liquids…(woof, woof) from seeping into the pad. Ever tried to remove a stain from a rug, think you have accomplished it and two days later it is back? It is because the culprit is in the pad and not the rug. If. the pad needs to be seemed, have the seem duct taped or as I have always called the product DuckTape....See MoreThinking of painting my bedroom furniture! Any suggestions\thoughts?
Comments (7)I agree, would not do orange anything. Love the middle scroll work on your bed. Thinking the dark frame is difficult. A light oak or 'sand' colored stain would be nice. It'd go with your leaving toward beach blue and white. If it were me I'd stay away from white because you've already got that balanced in curtains and duvet and door. Is this furniture strippable? Can you restain it? Is the type of wood with it? Otherwise I'd consider painting frame black then buying new chests. What's the scroll made of?...See MoreCan the carpet runner be different than the carpet in bedrooms?
Comments (3)Yes, you should use a carpet that is long enough, the design for the bedrooms is not dull and has a good quality, I know a good site that has a quality and beautiful Iranian carpet, my price is reasonable, click here...See MoreRelated Professionals
