My dining room chairs got a long overdue foam and fabric update. They are hand me downs from my parents…that I got 13 years ago. They were mismatched from various periods of my parents recovering them. They are over 30 years old. One still had the original fabric (a 70s flashback vinyl) and all probably […]

I’ve had this Ikea shelf in my playroom/movie room for some time, and I’ve always wanted doors for the panels.  I like my junk hidden so the room can have the appearance of order (even if what’s behind the door is a mess!) The options at Ikea are pretty but pricey, so I’ve been looking […]

It can be hard to know what to do with a loved one’s clothes after they’ve passed away, especially those items which they wore so often that the clothes are well connected to them in our memory. Turning a special shirt or sweatshirt into a pillow, quilt, or stuffie not only gives you a visual […]
