  Painter's tape sizes, colors, and adhesive qualities So, you have a painting project. As many of us have discovered the hard way, the outcome is all in the prep! The painting is the easy part. It's getting the room ready for your brush that's the issue. Choosing a painter's tape seems to be one of the more confusing decisions a DIY painter has to cope with. With so many choices and variables, choosing the right tape can be almost as confusing as picking the right paint color. Painter's Tape Color: Painter's tape comes in several colors. I think there is some confusion about this. A lot of people seem to think that the tape is somehow color-coded. In fact, there are quite a few searches "for painter's tape colors".

 Soften Your Dining Room With Curtains or DrapesWhen most of us think of dining rooms, we think of tables, buffets, chairs, and chandeliers. But equally as important―provided there's a window in the dining room―are the curtains and drapes.Amidst all of the hard furniture that tends to fill this room, it's wonderful to have some fabric and add a touch of softness. So even if you don't normally include flowing curtains and drapes, it's worth considering adding some to the dining room.Choosing Curtains and Drapes for the Dining RoomThink about the style of your room and what will work. If you like big flowing curtains that puddle on the floor, go for it. If you prefer a more tailored look, choose something a bit more streamlined. The point is to use an expanse of fabric to add softness, so...

How soon can Mold attack fruits and vegetables?This was the client of mine who just got this orange from a grocery store some two days before and the attack has already started. Imagine that. Grocery stores should move the produce around regularly at the grocery store. If they do not do this, the product will be attacked, like the above. I suggest to grocery stores that not only keep the produced moved around regularly but also wipe the produce as well.Something that I do that is helpful is to: put all fruits and vegetables in the sink and let them soak in a mixture of water, vinegar, soap, and baking soda. Watch the interaction with the soap and vinegar and baking soda. You will see a foaming action. Do not be frightened. This is normal and let things work for about 30 minutes and let ...

 Clever Uses for Useless SpacesThere are a lot of areas around the home that may seem kind of useless or wasted. Partial dividing walls, areas below (or even above) a staircase, or little nooks or alcoves that were created by the house’s unique design are all common examples. You might not think much about these areas, but if you consider them for a moment, you might see how they could be some serious missed opportunities. With a little bit of creativity, though, you can change all of that for the better.That blank wall around a doorway doesn’t have to stay empty, and the space under the stairs isn’t just for boy wizards anymore. There are a number of ways that you can revamp these empty and otherwise useless spaces and make your home more functional and fun in the process. Here are jus...
