Maskcara | Beauty Makeup Magic runningonhappiness.blogspot.com Cleaning Products Keith and I have had our couch and arm chair for over eight years. To be honest, we bought these because we liked the way they looked. We didn't realize how durable microfiber is. Most spills wipe off very easily. Rocky, our little dog once got ahold of a bottle of red food coloring and got it all over the couch. Amazingly, that wiped off too! This one cushion is Rocky's favorite place to sleep! I ws so excited when I stumbled onto Chris and Robin's Nest. You will need: * 99% Isopropyl Alcohol - I used 2 - 16 oz bottles* a clean, dry, spray bottle* new scrub sponges - one half a scouring pad and the other side a sponge. Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area. First pour the alcohol into your spray bottle. Look how much dirt came off!!! Let the couch completely dry! Now for my results: This was Rocky's favorite spot...so gross!!! This was Rocky's favorite spot after washing!!! This was one of the seat cushions. After, the watermarks look better, but they are not completely gone.
How To Build a Pottery Barn Inspired Vanity - DIYdiva I think the most important thing on the list of stuff you need to build a vanity is the pervasive belief that you can, in fact, build a vanity. This belief may be sorely tested at some point– I’d be lying if I said you could build an entire cabinet in an hour without breaking a sweat. But, this was the first freestanding cabinet I’d ever built and my first time using dowel joints, and I didn’t have anything resembling a plan to start with, except for this picture from the PB website. So if I can turn this… Into this… I think “believes it can be done” is probably the only skill absolutely required to take something like this on. Other Things You Need to Build a Vanity. Maybe you’re the kind of person who likes to sketch out very detailed “plans” on a cocktail napkin before diving into a project (you’re in good company), but if you’d rather have something more scientific, here’s a look at the pieces I used to build my vanity. Tools The Building Part Step 1 – Cutting Then cut my 1x. And clamps.
Thrifty Decor Chick blue roof cabin It’s Dollar Store Week! The Pot The time has come for the final Dollar store post. *sniff* It’s one of those occasions that’s both sad and happy. Like watching a child go off to school for the first time, or eating a whole strawberry-rhubarb pie in one sitting. Mostly though, this is an exciting moment. So here we go …. deep breath … the final Dollar Store post. Clay pot Ta da! To prove that you could do this with ONLY things bought at a Dollar store I bought everything at Dollarama. So here we go … it’s simple enough to do but here are the instructions just in case you need ‘em: Remove the chain from your really ugly cat plaque. Slip a thin metal rod through chain ends. Put light and rod inside pot. this is what it will look like inside the upside down pot. This is what it will look like outside at night. And guess what?!! This one is done a little differently: Remove the chain from your still ugly cat plaque. Turn your basket upside down, slip chain through weave and tie ends of chain together with fishing line. see?
GIVERSLOG The Quick Fix Fabric on Walls - Using fabric Instead of Wallpaper. If you want to add life to your white walls, try wallpapering your walls with fabric! Placing fabric on your walls is a simple process, as a matter of fact, it is just like wallpapering except you are using fabric and starch which allow you to easily remove and reuse as needed. Before we begin, decide which walls you would like to "fabric". Do you want to cover the whole wall, or would you prefer to go up half a wall and apply a border trim? You may choose to create a collage of color and place a decorative frame around it, or use the fabric to create a wall mural. If being budget conscious is necessary for you, understand that fabric prices vary and could actually run into quite a bit of money depending on your tastes - this can be easily remedied by discount fabric stores and clearance sales. The good news is when you remove the fabric from the wall, all you will need to do is wash it. Keeping all that in mind - let's get busy. Materials:
