We all know I am challenged so I need help LOL
Comments (14)One problem is that glass cutters can handle straight cuts, but curves are iffy. If your table top is round or oval, it is tough to cut, but a rectangular piece is easier to do. I also wondering if codes require the table top to be "safety' glass, e.g., glass that is internally stressed to cause it to fragment into many small pieces if struck. This stuff may be very difficult to cut in the usual way. If Walmart can not supply you with a replacement top, then make a replacement top or get a whole new table. If you make a top out of plywood, be sure to use outdoor or better yet, marine rated plywood. The other stuff will de-lainate in a short time. Finish the plywood with an outdoor rated finish. A marine varnish is good, but ti takes a longer time to dry than other finishes. Whichever finish you use, be sure to soak the edges where the end grain shows. The edge will require much more finishing liquid than large flat surface. Continue to brush the finish onto the edges as it soaks in. Stop the application when the rate of wicking slows, and lastly, apply to the large flat surface. Sealing the edge (and end grains) is critical for long life....See MoreNeed to choose paint colors for whole house and am overwhelmed!
Comments (20)I toured a 1913 house museum last weekend, and there were at least 3 pink rooms: the master bedroom (redone after the husband died; I wonder what it looked like before?), the daughter's room, and the drawing room (with dark wood and silk paneled walls). I've never been a big fan of pink, but every now and then a pink bedroom will just tug at my heart! Maybe someday if I'm a widow or divorcee. :p I could envision a mauve dining room, particularly in a historic home, but I'm not sure about diaphanous pink...a laundry room or powder room might be your best bets, but I don't think a guest room would be out of the question. On the other hand, if you don't have a clear vision of the spaces yet and are using furniture you already have, your best bet is probably to pick a few neutrals (check out Benjamin Moore's Affinity line) that go with your current things and are flexible enough that you can imagine them going with future acquisitions. Once you've lived there a while, you'll be less overwhelmed and have a better idea of what you want the rooms to look like. At that point you can repaint a room at a time if need be, and you'll be in a much better position to judge how light affects the colors....See MoreAnother day another project - I am overwhelmed.
Comments (24)OH GRRRRR on the studs not being in the right place. I am facing that myself with the kitty house. Fortunately I mostly need the studs to keep it from tipping over since it is tall. Not really for support . I have run into this in my own house for studs not being where I need them. It is why I let Joe hang my laundry rack. And with wet things hanging on it it needs to hold some weight. I never even considered the hinges you used. They do look nice. Is there enough slant to let longer things hang down so they are not laying on the below piece? I really love this flat design of this drying rack. And honestly with out having a dryer I NEED my drying rack. I wish he had hung it a little bit lower though. LOL He hung everything his height and I was a little more than half a foot shorter than his 6 foot....See MoreAm I crazy to get the whole house LVP and no carpet? I'm freaking out.
Comments (52)@Chessie The irony is that we actually don't even take baths! The default option was a built-in bathtub surrounded by a rectangular tiled edge, and I knew we'd be bonking our knees and calves into the corners every time we walked into our closets. Similar to this one: So we upgraded to a freestanding just so we could avoid the bruises! Though looking at it now that it's installed, it kind of makes me want to take a bath after all....See Moreyumelizabeth
