Anyone know if Broyhill sells slipcovers for their sofas??
Comments (1)Call a local store that sells Broyhill and ask. If they are still making that style of seating, they may have slipcovers available. You might also check out www.todoes for custom slipcovers....See MoreHas anyone dyed grout on a pool?
Comments (6)Hi Houseful, thanks for the congrats! I heard about a backyard makeover that a morning tv talk show here in Houston was giving away. It was for the "most deserving" family. I had to write a brief paragraph and submit pics of my backyard. We have 3 boys in wheelchairs plus another very active boy. Actually, I think the tv clips are still on the website, www.greatdayhouston.com. You click on, "and the winner is...". We were finalists #4. It was all done by voting online. It has been a wonderful experience for all of us. We are getting not only a pool, but a spa, kitchen and mosquito control system, landscaping, pergola and extra decking. I will post pics as soon as I figure out how! Regarding the grout stain, I called a 1-800# off of a bottle of stain I saw at Home Depot. I forgot the brand, but they said it wouldn't hold up to the chlorine water. Rats. This white grout looks like bathtub caulking. Yuck. There is too much of it to remove (lots of small tiles on a large wall as well as waterline tile). I hate to make a fuss since I think the pool company has already gone over their $60,000 budget. They are putting in an upgrade finish that is smoother than plaster as well as a few other extra items. I guess I'll have to just plan on staining the grout every year or so....See MoreRECIPE: Has anyone dyed yeast bread?
Comments (5)I made a loaf last week. I bought the bread mix of country white at the supermarket. I used the dough cycle on my bread machine. I used the Wilton pink food coloring, and I just dipped a toothpick into the container and added it to the warm water. When the machine was done, I shaped the dough and let it rise in a bread pan and baked it in the oven. It came out GREAT. I made my granddaughter a PB&J sandwich and she just kept telling me how she loved her pink sandwich. (I froze the rest to use for tea sandwiches at a baby shower....See MoreHas anyone ever done this to their sofa?
Comments (12)Whatever you use, make sure it's set well. Reading a tag on some jeans recently, it warned that the dye might rub off onto furnishings (hard to imagine that got through the design process! Think they were Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. At Costcos). Later was reading how someone had noted the dye from their jeans had rubbed off onto their furniture. So, I'd just make sure that whatever paints/dyes you're using isn't going to transfer onto clothing and then over to paint another piece ; )...See Morelilsophie
