Painting Skylight Frames?
Personally, I would keep it white. Your pop of color in the one corner is special & attracts ones eye (gives it a place to rest, if you will). The same is true for the view of the sky. I feel that painting it would take away from the view. Just my two-cents...
Ideas for Covering Church Carpet During Wedding?
I say do the runner up the aisle and then do another runner (or 2) across the area where her, her Groom, and Bridal party will be standing. Once standing at the alter, theyll (probably) be blocking the majorty of the alter carpets view from guests & the photgrapher...
Shower Curtain Color Advice?
Id go with yellow for the Spring/Summer and blue for the Fall/Winter. If your bathroom is on the smaller side, then white might be a good choice.

Ideas for Girl's 17th Birthday?
Why not have a Spa Party at your house? You can buy a bunch of nail polishes (and nail files/decals/polish remover/etc.), some nice-smelling lotions, and cheap ingredients for facials & pedicure scrubs. Watch a quick YouTube video on how to *properly* give...
Remedy for Oily Skin?
I really feel for you. I, too, have had problem skin and always wanted soemthing that would heal the breakouts & fade the marks as soon as possible. While that may be very difficult for an at-home treatment to accomplish, I can only give you advice from this...
Remedy for Perm Damaged Hair?
Sadly, youll have to either grow out or cut off the damaged hair. The only other option you might want to try is to do weekly (or more often) *deep* conditioning treatments. Walmart has good prices on trustworthy brands. (Sally Beauty Supply might also be able...
Use Hair Conditioner as Body Lotion
But wouldnt that leave a (sticky) film on your skin? Arent conditioners are meant to be washed off?
Iron Cleaner For Curling Irons
Save your money and use plain old rubbing alcohol (on a cotton pad or ball)! As a teen in the 1980s, I used *more* than my share of hairspray and had to clean my curling iron OFTEN. ;-)
Finding the Value of an Encyclopedia Set?
Maybe you can use them as a safe of sorts. Just hollow out a portion of the pages to make a well and glue the pages edges together (but not the front cover or you wont be able to get in it!). Thieves will think its just a book on a shelf, but youll be able...
Removing Curry Odor from a House?
Yikes ~ thats one heck of a situation! Its such a shame that your kind heart & generosity have culminated in this way. Id try the vinegar remedy above since Ive had good luck with it removing tough odors in the past. Maybe you should also ask them to pay for...
Storing Plastic Grocery Bags
I just crumple up one at a time and keep them in an empty pop-up tissue box. They dispense one-at-a-time and I dont waste time folding/rolling/tying them before storing. The (empty) big boxes of tissues can hold dozens!
Sterilizing Sponges
I agree, all of this is over-kill. Simply putting it in the microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes is all you need to do.
Plantable Wedding Invitations
Not only did you help the planet by recycling your junk mail, but you made double-duty invitations! How clever, and resourceful! Congratulations on getting married!
Storing an Ironing Board in a Small Apartment?
How about alongside your fridge? Or, like RosieC said, under your bed.
Use Hairspray For Wasps
Louel was right ~ it coats their wings/body & stiffens them so they cant fly. When theyre frozen, you can kill the little suckers and rest easy. Ive been using inexpensive strong-old aerosol hairspray (from the dollar store) to immobilize all flying insects...
Keep Socks Together in Laundry
Thats definitely a tip for the guys, Bud ~ LOL! Way to think outside the box though! Think Ill just keep safety-pining mine together. Less labor intensive, easier, and (possibly) cheaper. Keep your tips coming, we appreciate em!
Shoe Organizer for More Than Shoes
I have one that holds things like bandages, aspirin, antacids, thermometers, and other various items. I love that the pockets are clear so I can find exactly what it is that Im searching for & not have to root around the shelves. (Its really called a hosiery...
Check Outlets with Hair Dryer On New Home Walk Through
We used a small clip-on type lamp when we did ours, but the instantaneous result was along the same lines.
Uses for One Shoe?
I agree with Catastrofy ~~ donate them to veterans hospitals, rehab centers, and such. I have a condition that prevents me from wearing a shoe on one foot & have a collection of unused shoes, sneakers, slippers, etc.. that can be used by someone else with use...
Use Old Wash Cloth to Remove Nail Polish
What a GREAT idea! Ill be doing this the next time I have polish to remove!! PS ~ I LOVE Walton, NY!! My Husband & I, as well as my Dad & Uncle, have camped in Downsville for YEARS (Peaceful Valley Campground) & have spent LOTS of time in Walton (and MANY other...
Have Kids Make School Lunches The Night Before
I do that for my own lunch as well. I put the dry ingredients closest to the bread & wet ingredients in the middle so the bread doesnt get soggy. With PB&J, I spread PB on both slices of bread & put the J in the middle.
Central Air Conditioner Reviews?
Heat pumps are only efficient (and dont need a back up heat source) until 30 degrees F. Once it drops below that temp (in northern climes), it loses its efficiency - making them better suited to warmer climates. You might want to consider a Hallowell Acadia...
Natural Home Remedies for Chafing?
Wow - thanks for all your replies! Ill look into the pettipants (but am not too thrilled wearing nylon). I was hoping for something that can also be applied under the breasts as well (but thought that might be too much information in my original posting - LOL...
Natural Home Remedies for Chafing?
Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions! I figured powders would be too messy, but it looks like it might be the way to go after all. Ill be looking into the other ideas as well. You ladies are the best! I knew I could count on you to help me out! Thanks...
Natural Home Remedies for Chafing?
Hi there ladies (and any gents). Just wanted to update you on what I found that seems to be working VERY well - Monistat Soothing Care Cream (not the powder). I tried talc, cornstarch, and just about any other suggestion that came my way. Unfortunately, I had...
Frugal Wrinkle Releaser
LOL, Wondernana! If my clothes are clean but wrinkled, I just mist plain ole water on them (via a spray bottle) and give em a good shake/smoothing over. The wrinkles disappear just as they would with the fabric softener mixture (which I only use on clothing...
Number Socks to Match
I safety pin socks together. Keeps my machine from eating them and makes sorting MUCH easier. My hubby-to-be has various types of black dress socks that seem to take forever to match up & Ive saved time - and sanity by pinning them.
