New Rug Arrived!
Comments (70)Organic, I'm going to say something because you are a beautiful person in all my most important categories: you value dogs. That sums up my list of most important qualities in life which often translates into many minute personality traits. So, please do not take this as a personal criticism at all as I think you're great! The cords under the desk distract terribly from your beautiful rug. Could you bundle or tie them together and tape them to the desk leg so they are almost invisible?...See Morewill this rug work in the new sitting area?
Comments (28)Thank you everyone for all the support! I feel much better about it all this morning. I think change is a big one. I don't do change well or easily and the last six months has been nothing but change. Even when it is good change I have a hard time with it. Last night I looked through the gallery at a bunch of rooms that had similar layouots, rug/chairs same color, and it helped me feel better. I think I had contrast on the brain but I really don't think I need that there because the dining room has a ton of contrast and pop and so do the library. This will be a nice place for the eye to rest. Before I went to bed last night I rolled it out and really, really do love the rug. Alison, I noticed that the chenille/hemp was a much softer feel too. Wish I could find a runner like this because I still need one of those between the columns (for the dog) I'd really like to find a rug that would just melt into the floor and not call attention to itself since there will be this rug on one side and the dining room rug on the other. Thank you again, everyone, for your support. Today I will get hubby to help me move furniture so we can put down the pad and the rug. I'm back to being excited again....See MoreChristmas & Bday arrived today...BIG MIELE NEWS. Little Giant BIG!!
Comments (94)I never wash my down beds - that clumps the feathers ! I do hang them out in the winter to fluff them up ! Like the German story for children : Frau Holle :) I guess it is a preference :) but Germans never wash their down comforters ( they usually cost about 300 dollars and upward , depending on the feather fill ) I just got rid of some my mom used to have about 45 years old !...See MoreMy New Washer Arrived Today!
Comments (24)@Donna37 RPSinfoman detailed just above most of the secondary functions available on the LG and Kenmores through pushing cycle options together and holding for a short period of time. My machine dates from 2012 so I don't know if these are available for older machines but it wouldn't hurt to try. If I look at my selection dial it doesn't list just a spin option, just a rinse and spin. I thought that very strange as all my older machines going back to the dinosaurs had that capability. If you press the power on button. Do not select a cycle, but do select a spin option on the spin speed and then push the start/pause button to the right of the selection dial: Viola, the machine defaults to the normal cycle and begins to spin at the selected speed no rinse included.. Doesn't mention it in my manual or the revised manual I downloaded. Try this with a no spin laundry cycle that justs drains the water out. Then do your spin. It's amazing. Turning the power on/off button to off during a cycle will initiate a draining cycle. See more wonders above. There are a couple of others I don't remember is older threads....See MoreUser
