Use textured wallpaper to cover old wallpaper I cant remove?
Comments (5)Karen: which technique are you doing? Textured wallpaper over old wallpaper? Or one of the others? Rereading my post (after getting some sleep) it reads more like I am asking about texturing with drywall compound (like imitating venetian plaster, or a tuscan stucco look). PLEASE come back and tell me how it went! I have seen the paper bag technique done on home improvement shows. ItÂs actually simpler. Dipping in poly would be very messy and sticky. You adhere the paper with latex glaze or acrylic matte medium. Then cover with the same clear liquid to seal it in before painting. My hesitation with doing that is if someday down the road you didnÂt want such a texture, you could NEVER get it off. The entire room would have to be skimcoated by someone with the skills to get it really flat and smooth. I donÂt think I want to go that route. At least with drywall compound texturing it could be sanded off smooth easily....See MoreSS thinks our bedroom is the TV room!
Comments (14)We kind of had a similar problem with SS, actually, we had lots of problems at first ¡K a teenager use to no siblings and no rule (at least ones that were enforced regularly). We tried the positive reward system, like all the experts recommend. It works for a little while, then he spends a day with his mom and just doesn¡¦t care. Doesn¡¦t care if he gets his reward or not. Then we tried taking stuff away. That didn¡¦t work. His mother is big on throwing other people¡¦s stuff away and/or giving it to her friend (she buys her friend ¡V but that is a whole other subject.) He is used to his stuff being taken/given/thrown away. The only thing that seems to work is extra chores ¡K he hate chores, never really had to do them unit he was eleven and came to live with his father and I. Break the rules, get in trouble at school, be mean to his little siblings, ¡K Extra chores! (I actually kind of like this the best ¡K I have to put up with the extra aggravation ¡K I get extra stuff done for me º (The school calls me step mom, not dad or bio mom ¡V FUN!) About the Bedroom >>> What worked for me is ¡K his little siblings (Currently 2,4 and 5) adore him and want to play with all his stuff. I do my best to keep them out of his room. At first he would leave stuff out and the little ones would get into it. Once he learned that if he puts it in room then it would be safer. Then he decided that our room was o.k. to hang out in ¡K So I told him that if he couldn¡¦t respect my boundaries, my privacy than I would no longer make the effort to keep the little ones out of his room. And believe me, sometime it was a lot of effort. I did have to spend a week or so, explaining how the little ones going into his room is the same as him going into ours. And getting him to realize the impact it would have on his privacy. He just didn¡¦t get it at first. Then, once he got it, I added ¡K If you continue to do this ¡K You will also get extra chores! I think that he still sneaks in from time to time, raiding any change he can find, but that too is another subject. Do you think that you SS just doesnt get it, or is it intentional because he likes to annoy you? Is he passive agressive?...See MorePlease show me your small bedroom closets
Comments (31)You might consider the attachable or cascading hangers. Began using the Homz brand of these years ago from Target. Several manufacturers now make them, along with loop shapes alone for attaching hangers you have. They are flatter than the regular plastic hangers so take up half the rod space of those. They hook to each other vertically without crushing the fabric. Bed Bath & Beyond carries this type in 10 packs for $4, an average price. Ignore the prices at Amazon (too high in my book) but read the reviews, including one from another 1920's homeowner. Although we have a large walk-in closet now, still appreciate the degree of organization they offer, such as 5 summer-weight long sleeve shirts hanging in a line together with sleeves exposed so I can choose one easily, along with the hanging space they free up. My DH finally decided to try them & was surprised it's much easier now to locate what he's after. I put shirts right out of the dryer on these hangers & find they don't wrinkle hanging in the closet. There are also children's sized hangers like this useful for lingerie, as well as skirt hangers. Hang purses from them, too, stacking the hangers & enclosing the whole thing in a clear zippered dress bag. Shoes not worn daily go with silica packets in individual clear plastic shoe boxes labeled with ID that stack neatly, boots in larger boxes of double width & same height, feet at opposite ends & shanks along the outsides forming two interlocking L's. Two of the shoe boxes fit atop one of the boot boxes & it's easy to restack them for the season. They fit on a top shelf or floor & keep footwear clean & easily retrievable. Out of season sweaters are stacked into wider versions of the boot boxes, with arms folded across the front & the bottom folded to the neck in front. Keeps them from creasing & several fit in each box. Out of season pants & trousers go into the same size box, folded so the legs of one interlap the next pair, keeping them from wrinkling. After measuring my pants from waist to hem, found a dresser with drawers long enough to fit them without folding. Pants & sweaters are swapped out from dresser drawers to boxes each season. Inexpensive pretty hatboxes hold odds & ends, stacked or on shelves. Can you tell I've lived in homes with no or skimpy closets over the years? Some of those closets were 6" deep with single doors & hooks screwed to the wall or ceiing. Resorted to flat-top wooden trunks with & without legs that could be stacked to conserve floor space. Still have a 3-stack of those in the front room here, with others doing duty as end tables, coffee tables, bedtables, bedroom trunks & window seats in this modern home with plenty of large closets. Craft stores & places like Tuesday Morning & Marshall's carry inexpensive decorative cardboard & wooden nesting boxes in a variety of patterns & configurations, including book boxes that stack or sit upright. These hold desk papers, folders, magazines & catalogs, gloves, hats & scarves in the coat closet, even my brush in the powder room with a pedestal sink & no vanity. So fond of trunks & boxes, even the matching end tables flanking the LR sofa are hinged trunks on legs holding a stash of board games close at hand & out of sight...

Comments (77)For those of you with (or considering) Smart TVs, take a look at this article: http://www.cnet.com/news/samsungs-warning-our-smart-tvs-record-your-living-room-chatter/ One of my students brought it in when we were reading the novel 1984, and I was shocked. Apparently these TVs not only record what's said in your living room, they sell it to third parties. Of course, they're doing it for marketing purposes, but it could become even more nefarious. VERY 1984. Of course, my students were more shocked by the fact that our cell phones monitor exactly where we've been (even providing a map and time stamps!). When that student presented his article, it led to the whole class pulling out phones ... they were all in a tizzy to "shut down" that feature on their phones....See More
