ok My Daughter Colored My Hair,Too Dark(help
Comments (11)This really happened to me. I colored my hair golden blond at home and didn't like the color. So I went to the beauty supply store and bought something called "color remover". I thought it would restore my hair to its natural original color. NOT. It stripped it to a nasty gray-white. I headed to the nearest beauty salon and the operator said "You've ruined your hair." She applied an ash blond toner or rinse which then turned my hair gray. I hated it! Took about a year till my own hair grew out.Now I only have my hair professionally colored....See Moreis my grout too dark?
Comments (41)aww y'all are too sweet. I definitely wanted the more vintage look than modern. my counter top is honed granite. since I have a whopping area I got some remnants. sink, counter top and install was $800 total. MVP Granite and Flooring is the place I got my sink and counter top. They were ok. I felt a bit snubbed and unwanted since I was such a small job. I went with all the GW suggestions to get honed and the 311 sealer. I must say no stains yet! and if there are any etches I dont see them. stainless covers. hmm didnt think about that. will have to look into that too....See MoreHelp my library select books!
Comments (21)I agree with the thought of buying cookbooks. Can't do without a classic like "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child, I think there's two volumes (her biography is good too). The Martha Stewart Living cookbooks are incredible, I've never had anything out of those books not turn out fabulous. Cole's "Cooking A to Z" is an awesome technical book that any novice can follow and learn from. The Foodnetwork stars cookbooks are popular, but they tend to be faddish so I don't know how long they would stay current in circulation. The best in my opinion would be the ones by Paula Deen, Ina Garten, and Giada DeLaurentis, following them is Tyler Florence and Rachael Ray who are very popular with the younger crowd. If you like Louisiana style cooking Emeril is for you, but I'm not personally fond of his recipes. Other non-foodnetwork cookbooks I love are by Sarah Foster and Nigella Lawson (her "How to Eat" is the best one). Of course we can't leave out the "Cook's Illustrated" cookbooks, they possible have the best test kitchen in America and the cookbooks are fabulous. I forbid you to buy any cookbooks by Sandra Lee or Robin Miller, those aren't "cookbooks"....See MoreI painted my house too dark!!!!!
Comments (29)Toss some brass carriage house hardware on the garage door. Then find two matching footed pots in the same tone for either side of the garage door. Put foliage in the pots that compliments or matches the door. This will soften the starkness of the grey expanse. You are fine here a few flowers maybe a bench on the lawn with the same brass trim and you are good. You want the aged brass not the blackened or bright. Moms are like that. They picture all their daughters in white houses with flowered arbors and precious picket fences. Your life, your choices just tell her you love her and value her....See MoreJilly
