I made a mixture of bleach and water to clean with. I accidentally got some drops of it on my bluish carpet. Now those spots are immediately beige in color. Is there any quick dye or remedy that I can use to make those spots blue again?

I inherited my grandmother's jewelry box--it's 12" tall, 10" wide, and 5" deep. It is made of wood, and the doors on the front open to reveal five drawers. Each drawer has a fabric lining in the bottom. There is a pervasive smell inside the box--it smells like an old lady's perfume, and if I leave my jewelry closed up in the box for any length of time, it comes out smelling that way too. I have tried Febreze, lavender oil, and my own perfume, but none of those have worked. Right now I'm trying baking soda--lining the drawers with tissue, then filling them with the baking soda--which has some effect, but not enough. I've gone through two boxes of baking soda so far. My next plan is to rip up the fabric lining, but I'd hate to have to do that. I really want to make this jewelry box work because it has a lot of sentimental value. Help!

You take 2 pieces of fabrics...draw your design on the top one and hand quilt around the image...Then turn to the back and using a large needle, pull dark colored yarns through from the hand quilting stitches to the other side of the design to color in your design.

I have a carnauba wax product, but unless it requires the elbow grease strength of power tools, it doesn't seem to work.

My daughter's room is a wreck! If you have any tips on organizing it, or you know of any website that can give me more ideas, please tell me! (It would help if you would give me some ideas, too.) For one thing, her closet is a wreck, and she has big piles of clutter under her bed and in the corners of her room. I need help organizing. She tells me she would like her room a lot better if it was cleaner, but she never cleans it. She doesn't like it when I throw her things away, so I'm going to fill up boxes with things that I want to give or throw away. Then she can go through them and the things she does want I will put away for her. I've tried cleaning her room before, but it somehow always gets messy again. Any tips on way to get my child to keep her room clean? She also has a lot of stuffed animals. Has anyone heard of a stuffed animal organizer? If you have read all of this I do greatly appreciate it. So again, if you have any ideas or tips, please tell me them.

I just purchased this neat old wooden iron board, it has most of the advertising label still on the wood, but it's flaky - what can I do to preserve the label without compromising the value of the antique?

I have hail damage and the insurance will be paying for a replacement roof. I am looking for a good roofing contractor in the Franklin/Nashville TN area. Also, if anyone has any insight on such things as drip edges. They seem to rarely be put on new houses yet the shingle manufacturers include them in their installation instructions. Are they really required? Any other gotchas or things to ask people that give bids to do work? Thanks.

The compressor runs OK, as does the fan behind the freezer compartment. Items in the freezer are alright too. It's just that due to ice forming on the cold pipes stops air flowing down through the relatively narrow vent into the main storage compartment
