How to Overhaul the Look of a Table

Let's see how we can provide a new opportunity to the coffee table that we thought and discard. A task that requires great skill and with excellent results. Need: a sheet of foam rubber, a foot of cloth, sandpaper, wax and dye. The first thing to do is to try to put in proper condition the wood structure of the table. For this we need to sand the legs gently. This must be done in the sense of wood grain to ensure that it is completely clean of any remaining paint. After thoroughly cleaning to ensure that no speck of sawdust may alter the termination of wax and dye that will give you. It will be critical to let it dry well then not stain the fabric we use. It is necessary to wait at least a good 24 hours for drying. Staple the foam after it has to be a whole piece and as far over the table edges. Ideally, either with a thickness of 5 cm or larger. From the convenient location of this piece of foam depends on the outcome we achieve. Now we place the fabric with staples, which must have the same dimensions as the foam and two inches in length to put everything inside the manner of a hem. First we set the sides, firm to avoid creases and wrinkles. The corners of the more difficult, you'd better make two folds, one on each side and try to unite them in the bottom edge. As we also do hems, if on a piece of cloth can be cut without difficulty. May also be given a few stitches with a single strand to avoid fraying. To complete the work, we take shine to the legs of the table with a cotton cloth. Please note that if you plan to use the table quite often, it put a thick glass on the upholstery.

  • How to solve the bad smells from drains


    The drains have their own systems to prevent odors. In all cases there is a siphon, which is nothing more than a U-shaped pipe, which retains a certain amount of water inside, preventing odors from reaching the pipe.
    I could be that the water that is inside the trap, to evaporate. That is very common when not used for a long time, like a summer house. In this case the solution is very simple. You just have to leave the tap open for a long time and fills up quickly.
    Also possible that small food debris to accumulate in the trap. This is for having the bad habit of allowing to happen. These remains are decomposed causing unpleasant odors.
    A simple solution is to mix 100 grams of sodium bicarbonate in 500 cc of warm water and 250 cc of vinegar. Pour down the drain and leave for several minutes.Then we just have to pour at least a quart of boiling water, and problem solved.

  • Painting: how to make a lacquer

    Lacquering technique requires the use of a type of painting (shellac), and leads to a result where the piece has a particularly smooth and a very remarkable brightness. The technique itself is very simple, just have to take into account that requires many coats, and that takes time.
    With the timber in perfect condition, clean and dry, we give first a coat of primer, sealing that protects the wood pores. The primer is bought in any shop.

    The paint that you will use depends on your taste. There are many varieties, and in the store will help you choose the ideal for the type of wood and use.
    Once the primer is dry, gently lijamos with fine sandpaper. Completely withdrawn and we dust lacquer firsthand. When this dries, lijamos with equal delicacy and removed completely in the dust.
    We must give a minimum of four hands of lacquer, always proceeding in the same way.
    Then we four hands more, but colorless lacquer. Lijamos always at hand and clean with the paint dry, of course.
    The result is excellent.

    Long ago in my house have not changed the curtains in our living room. The daily activities have left us no opportunity to engage in those activities, many of you probably will be too.

  • Ideas for Decorative Boxes


    In a previous post we saw how interesting it can be used as decorative objects and boxes and respecting the role of storage. Decorations may be quite simple and the possibilities are many. Costs are generally very low, since none of the materials we use is expensive.

    A simple way is to use napkins to decoupage (see post on the theme). The designs are varied and are very good. Be careful when hitting the napkins to the cardboard box, so there is no air. For that reason, once we attach the napkin, with a dry brush, go over the entire surface, removing any air bubbles.

    Another simple way is to use tissue paper. We just need two or three colors. We cut squares and rectangles of those three colors, of different sizes. Let glue sticking with plastic (with brush) these squares, letting them overlap each other. Let it dry and give a final coat of varnish.

    How to clean bare wood furniture


    Any wood surface requires maintenance. But if this is a piece of furniture or bare wood surface, the chances of having problems are much greater. When we say we mean bare wood to wood that has no treatment and therefore did not have any kind of paint or varnish the protection.
    It is very important to remove the dust in a meticulous diary, since otherwise the small particles can damage the long run, the pores of the wood. A simple damp cloth just is something we should happen once a week. If the color of the wood is becoming darker, instead of passing a cloth dipped in water, using bleach will do.
    If the surface we must treat stains immediately, before it can set the stain. If a glass of alcohol a drink spilled on the table, then pass a brush and soapy water. Wash thoroughly and does not need further treatment. If the substance is fat, but we cover the stain with talcum powder and leave it to act. Then wash with soapy water.
    If it were wax stain, it is important to remove it. For that, we took a role as much as possible and then carefully lijamos. The sand must be very fine. Another option is to cover the stain with salt, and remove with water.
    It is important to note that if the wood is treated, it is much easier to keep in position, ensuring greater durability

    The Use of Color in Decoration

    One of the most important factors in decorating is finding a balance. That does not mean that we should not take risks. In fact, having striking features is important. The point is how many and which. And if we talk about color possibilities are endless play with them, but given some guidelines.
    If we introduce in a very striking color, we must bear in mind that it will be a very important focus. Perhaps with a single wall, or just a sector of it, reach.
    One example is the fashionable green apple. All the walls of that color in general is not well. But one or two extremely happy atmosphere.
    But this is like an equation. If we add something important, we must subtract the other hand, if the balance is maintained.
    A focus of this magnitude demands to be combined with other elements, and even to withdraw some, so that the final effect is not overwhelming.

    How to Decorate a Holiday Table


    In the decoration of a place where there will be a party, are central elements. The occasional tables, especially those used to display some dishes (for example, the table of sweets) are a fundamental aspect of the decoration. There are some tips that are interesting to get a shocking ending and consistent effect on such tables, which we now turn.
    The choice of colors of these table linens is crucial. You have to combine with other colors of the atmosphere: walls, curtains and other linens, etc.. Not necessarily have to be what we use a cloth to cover the table with a good fabric can do wonders. If the event is informal, such material may be rustic.
    If the table is against a wall, it is interesting to provide volume. For that we put some items such as boxes or pans. Then put the cloth or fabric, and we can put these different levels, for example, one candle, in another a flower arrangement, etc..
    It's about daring to experiment a little.

    How to Remove Wax From Furniture

    In the process of beautification and maintenance of wooden furniture wax commonly used. In fact it is a necessary step in many cases. The problem arises when successive accumulate wax hands. Over time, it changes color, usually dark, ugly no doubt what the outcome.
    When we are in a situation, it is important to remove all wax, wood and get to start over. That is, try to use wax, not adding layer upon layer.
    Sell products on the market designed especially for DEWAXING. Apply with a brush and go with steel wool pulling. The idea always is to go in the direction of the grain of the wood, so as to move the brush steel wool.
    As a final step, with a clean soft cloth dipped in alcohol and varnish, we remove the last traces of wax that would have been.

    How to Cut Timber Without Generating Chips


    When we cut a timber, one of the most common problems arise we face is that contrary to where we are starting the cutting chips are generated. Avoiding them is an important goal because we deform or even ruin the piece. We have various tricks to achieve the goal.
    The first thing to consider is that the teeth of the saw and the cutting speed are key. The lower teeth and cut slower, cleaner end result.
    The ideal way to avoid is to use other wood chips, wood called a martyr. Simply reach us with a piece of wood we are using, what must be just below that we're cutting.
    The bottom line is attachable securely. Stop that we help each other with gags. Thus, the critical part, which is contrary to the start of the court, is attached to the timber martyr.
    Just cut both wood together, and the possible formation of chips is minimized.

    How to Remove a Block of a Wall


    When we go to paint or coat a wall, we must leave it in the best condition possible. Many times it happens that we have a taco stuck and we greatly complicate the task of removing it. However we have many options.
    The simplest is to cut with a craft knife protruding area, thus leaving the end of the stick away from the wall. We repair the usual way, for example with gypsum.
    If you really need to remove it, because we have to substitute another, we can use a simple trick; it is to use a corkscrew of the bottles we use to uncover. It's a little work but insist, if you have the right size, you can.
    A more practical way is to use a drill. We just have to use a drill or wick diameter slightly less than taco. Carefully drilling so we undo the taco jammed.

    Alternative forms to decorate

    Our home decoration should be agreed with our personal taste and personality. The idea is to create new effects and combinations. For that reason we will give some ideas to decorate your home in an unusual way.

    • Instead of the typical clear colors of the rooms you can take steps forwards and try with the strong colors. Not necessarily you must paint all the room of intense colors but you can try to paint a single wall. It uses your favorite colors in your quarter. You can use green and the red one mixing it with a gray. Of that way you will obtain a smooth effect.
    • Instead of to place a single object in the different surfaces from your home (as for example tables and shelves) test to place accumulated adornments. If the objects are of the same style as small statues will not be recharged. You can also mix shining upholsteries within a rustic combination and vice versa. You can use rustic materials in modern rooms.
    • Instead of to using small furniture you can use great furniture. The unique thing that you must take care of is not to obstruct the way.
    • If you want to increase the space of a room then install great large windows and simple furniture.
    Although we can break certain rules that does not mean that we must break the basic principles of harmony and style.

    A Guide on Interior Design for A Bachelor’s Pad

    Jason is an architect by profession. He recently bought his own one-level setup pad somewhere in New York near his place of work. He is undecided on what is the best interior design for his pad. Here is an idea of interior design which may befit his jovial and amiable personality.

    Since the pad is a one-level setup, it is suggested that a platform be made where he can place his bedroom. The available space below the platform can be utilized as a storage area. Maintaining privacy in this kind of motif is quite difficult though, so having a foldable wood or wood with cloth divider is the key factor here. It functions both as a decorative accent as well as maintaining the privacy my bachelor friend is worried of.

    Using a minimalist approach in the use of furniture is also a must when living in a limited space. Using a love seat and an armchair is enough with a small center table. Having extra futon beds inside the storage space under the elevated platform for guests who would happen to stay overnight is a wise idea.

    As for the wall finishes, using earth colors like black, gray, white or wood color is ideal for a bachelor's pad. The kitchen can be made simple, bordering more on functionality over design/motif. Using multi-functional pieces is also suggested.

    Installing dimmers, pin lights and track lighting can add a decorative touch to the place. Just make sure that there is enough ventilation to avoid a "claustrophobic" feel inside the pad. Adding plants on decorative vases and framed paintings on walls as accents can add color and diminish a plain look on the area.

    It is best and wise to make your own abode a true reflection of your personality. Though you choose to use simple lines and design, it still shows off more than enough flair and creative statement in your home interior design.

    How to Add Mystery in the Design of Your Apartment

    A well designed apartment is scarce, and if you are lucky enough to find one the rent is usually beyond your budget.

    The traditional apartment design is as predictable as sunrise during the hot summer holidays. Upon entering the apartment you are immediately confronted by a hideous staircase leading to the second floor. At the same time you see the dining room, dining table, the kitchen and the bathroom. If you are able to view the entire floor at one glance, there is no longer any element of surprise, no mystery. And one of the secrets of excellent interior designing is the element of mystery. If you are the guest, you would ask yourself, "How does it look beyond that divider?" With this thought in mind, let us now proceed to add this element of mystery in the design of your own apartment.

    • Do something about that distracting stairway first. The stairs can be hidden by plywood designed in such a way that an interior window opening is provided for one foot above the first stair landing. This provides an illusion of space and ventilation is maintained. This wall portion can be painted a different and darker color from the other walls to add drama. Use wallpaper if it is within your budget. The choice of color should blend with your chosen color scheme.
    • The space below the stairs can be utilized for storage. Simple shelving can also be built inside to keep odds and ends in order and for easy location.
    • Install a divider between the living room and the dining area. If you wish you may close it with a sliding door, same design as the divider. Another divider system to separate the dining room and kitchen is optional depending on the space available. If scaled and done properly this addition will be an asset and will make a lot of difference to apartment living. You can put shelves to the kitchen side of the divider to accommodate some kitchen utensils which most often have no place in ordinary kitchens.
    • Mirrors on both sides of the square opening in the divider system will make the dining room look more spacious. And for vain individuals (most of us are) you can check how you look every now and then. Serving food is also facilitated by the cantilevered buffet shelf. This is practical whether you have two or a dozen guests. (If there are some areas which you want us to further elaborate on, please feel free to write to us.)

    • Retain the couch and have it re-upholstered if you are not satisfied with the present upholstery. The two armchairs may be converted into a love seat for compactness and the coffee table revarnished.
    • Two ottoman stools will be handy when you have more guests. Solehia weave on the ottoman seat will be a beautiful change. These will act as accent pieces in your living room set.
    • Modular shelving system is versatile on the side opposite the seating arrangement. The stereo system can be housed here together with a collection of accessories which usually define your personality.
    • Remove those plastic covers in your couch and chairs. Plastic radiates heat and also gives funny sounds which can only embarrass your guests. Choose upholstery fabric instead of vinyl/leatherette for elegance and comfort. They are soft to touch and cool to the body. If you are reserving the original upholstery for special occasions only and are afraid they will be soiled from day to day usage, have at least one set of fabric covers custom-made. These can be detached and laundered easily.

    You can create something out of your drab apartment and make it a better place for yourselves and your children.

    A Checklist on Cleaning Your House

    CONTINENTAL QUILT
    Feather filled: Do not attempt to clean it yourself. If it is always used with a strong cover, no cleaning should be necessary. If it is badly soiled, take it to dry cleaners or return it to makers for cleaning, if possible.
    Terylene filled: Wash it in a launderette (domestic machines are too small), with warm water. Tumble dry.

    CURTAINS
    Remove curtain hooks. Soak brass hooks in vinegar. Wash plastic hooks. Rinse and dry. Dry clean large and heavy curtains (those types of fabric like velvet, damask, velour, silk, wool, rayon or combination). For lined curtains—unless both fabric and lining are preshrunk, one may shrink more than the other when washed, have them dry cleaned. Use special lining attachment tape. It makes washing much easier as you can then detach lining from curtains. Presoak washable curtains in cold water with detergent, then rinse. Repeat if very dirty. Machine wash on each set alone. Dry them outdoors if possible, over line. Iron them thereafter.

    FLOOR
    Build-up of polish makes floor looks dirty, as dirt is held in the polish. If it is wax polish (on wood, cork, lino), remove with wire wool and Stoddard solvent and have it repolished. Remove emulsion-based polish (those used on rubber, thermoplastic, vinyl, composition floors) with special cleaner. Remove stubborn marks and dirt with wire wool. Repolish.

    KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
    Cooker: Easiest way to clean a really dirty oven is with an aerosol oven spray. Put newspaper on floor, wear gloves, and follow directions. Wipe hob and oven after use. That way, there's no need for a drastic clean.
    Refrigerator: When defrosted, dab it with soft cloth squeezed out in water with bicarbonate of soda (1 teaspoon to 1 pint). Don’t use detergents - food absorbs smell. A regular defrost, at least once a week, prevents build up of ice, and saves fuel.

    Deep Freeze: Defrost once year when stock is at its lowest. Remove all food, store in refrigerator at coldest setting or wrap in layers of newspaper, pile in cool place and cover with something heavy and clean like a blanket. Hasten defrosting with bowls of hot water, scraping to remove ice. Wash inside—see instructions for fridge. Throughout year, keep down heavy frosting by brushing with a stiff brush, holding a tray to catch the loosened frost.

    PAINTWORK
    After washing down with detergent solution, rinse it clean, leave to dry. A wipe with colorless liquid furniture polish, and a quick buff, will ease dusting and preserve paint.

    PILLOWS
    For feather filled pillows, dry clean them—though it is rarely needed. Hang them out on a dry, windy day for an airing. Foam rubber sponges the outer cover only.
    For polyester or Terylene filled pillows, dry clean them too unless other recommended washing instructions are given.

    SHEEPSKIN RUGS
    Use carpet shampoo with minimum of warm water. Avoid wetting the back portion as it may crack. Rinse with sponge.
