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.
Alternative energy for your home: solar energy
Photovoltaic solar energy is applied in many areas of Spain with good results.
However, it should be borne in mind that a standard installation of this type, partially covering energy expenditure. Obviously, traditional energy consumption down clearly, but we can not wait bring it to zero.
There are areas of our country where the hours of sunshine a year are enough to optimize this system. The Mediterranean area is ideal.
The initial installation costs are relatively significant, but we must bear in mind that it is an investment that is amortized over time in a secure manner.
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.
Renew Your Curtains
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. But there comes a time when we look at the windows and say, "as I still have these curtains" right there and then remove the old and went to take further steps to dress your windows beautifully.
With the decision, I set to work, as time is what I have, obviously could not go to choose fabrics, cut and sew the curtains in my house soon so I turned to the web to find a good home who gave me all the information and possibilities for this.
So I found Cortinadecor, a super house specialist on the subject. Here we find all the styles, colors, trends and prices. His experience over 45 years, we guarantee that the final product is the best. It's advice is first and also give us the work guaranteed.
They especially emphasized the roller blinds made of polyester fiber yarn high tenacity. Specially designed for sun protection and easy installation. If you're thinking about changing your curtains, do not miss Cortinadecor.
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
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.
