Laundering new duvet after benzoyl peroxide
Comments (4)I can recommend a reputable pharmacy (Benzoyl Peroxide) - onlinecheappills.com Good price and quality. Here is a link that might be useful: Order Benzoyl Peroxide...See MoreNew LOST tonight. New time
Comments (4)LOL @ ya, Patti!: see how it ends...because I'm sure it's going to someday. I'll be watching. And 10 is better for me. Sometimes one of the kids is still testing the last few minutes of my patience at 9. I really hope I'm not disappointed when it does end. I feel like when I read a really long book and am left disappointed at page 600. All that time, and this is the best you've got!?! It better be worth all the time watching, and all the time waiting when they pull this whole story together. Or I'll never trust ABC again.

Comments (57)No wonder you are confused. My head was spinning after reading all of the opinions! I was following the original post, but this is my first look at your follow-up. I agree with the others about finding another shade for first lamp if you decide to use it. The present shade is too short and it is the wrong style. My suggestion would be to take the lamp into a lighting store that sells shades. There you will have some expert advice as well as the option to "try on" various shades, much in the same way that you would try on clothes to determine the most flattering fit and combination. Think of the gas you will save! These are some guidelines for shades that I have found useful: 1. Match the base  think size, shape, style, color. Your goal is to match the mood of the base. 2. Compliment the base  the shade should make the base look better without competing with for attention (like that patterned shade on the metal lamp) 3. Hide the switch  the shade should just barely cover the switch (usually the height of harp + ½ inch). Try different sized harps, or add a shade riser to fine-tune. 4. Sizing Rules of Thumb: (1) Shade height should be about ¾ the height of the base (2) Bottom of shade should be wider than widest part of the base. (3) Shade width should be approximately equal the height from bottom lamp base to the top of the lamp stem, (just below the socket cap) I like both lamps. I think either one will be beautiful, but I would not use both of them in that room. Rather than another ginger jar, it would be nice to use a different architectural form on the console. I like the console very much. I do not like the metal/glass (marble?) lamp with the patterned shade. I would look for gorgeous buffet lamps. I am thinking wooden with an antique gold finish (very simple, but elegant). These are high end lamps, but use as examples. If you want the console to appear more sophisticated, remove the dried flower wreath that is resting on the books below, and remove the wicker basket with the greens from the top of the console. Replace it with a grouping of three (the magic number) similar objects (candles, boxes, ceramics, etc.) of different height and proportion. Good luck and keep up the good work. I am amazed by your shopping energy and resourcefulness....See MoreBrand new Parachute bedding linen sheets, duvet at Habitat Restore
Comments (18)Thanks to those who are defending my terrible post that let the cat out of the bag and ruined it for everyone even though it was advertised in the news and on Parachute's website... LOL jojoco I never knew I had such power either. I wonder what else we can make brands do by posting GW threads.. This could have great potential for us all, LOL. Yea the washed or used part grossed me out when I read it on the website. The bedding I bought was definitely new. I think it was a reject b/c of the color perhaps (it's kind of an odd gray). And, I do have to say, I am really enjoying it. We never bought expensive sheets before because we sleep with the dogs (and now co-sleep with Bastian too) and dogs and babies tend to be rather untidy in bed so I didn't see the point. But after sleeping on the Parachute stuff, we now will buy their sheets at full price in the future because it is really worth it after all....See Moresirphette
