The dimensions of the poster are 60" x 40" (153cm x 102.5cm). Ideally, I'd like a plastic clip frame so it would be lightweight. Any links/prices would be great.

I just bought a loveseat from IKEA and I just realized that they dont sell slipcovers for Klobo (the model I bought). Now the loveseat doesnt match the color scheme of my living room. Are there any alternatives? I don't want to make one because my seamstress skills are not that great. And I think it might be pricey if I had someone do it.

I have already tried to "just paint it" and it gets all gummy and sticks to which every position you paint it in,I have left it in the same position for days and it still did the same thing. I have painted and then removed and then repainted four times now, and still the same or it runs and one side it thicker. I am so frustrated my walls came out beautiful, but...... please only answer if you know what your taking about, thank you

I am distressing steps on a staircase. I put an acrylic stain on first then sanded the edges and parts of the step itself. Next I applied an oil based stain and hand rubbed it on. (I felt that this would hold up better than glaze.) Have I messed up? I am a little concerned that it is not drying properly. It has been about 5 hours and is still a little tacky. Will it dry? I guess I will know in the morning since it is a done deal. Should I apply a sealer and what kind (after it drys)?

My husband and I are ready to tackle the basement and finish remodeling it - we already have it framed. Our biggest debate right now is how to finish the ceiling. One part of me wants to drywall it but my husband hates that idea, because maintenance in the future could suck.... I get that. I personally hate the loook of a drop ceiling. Should we paint the basment ceiling white, as it is, and go with a contemporary look? Would that be a good compromise? Can I still achieve a great finished look that way or would it look cheesy?

I am new to decorating and want to add some artex to a room with uneven walls. Is this easy to do without causing disaster? I've been advised to avoid the idea all together since I'm an amateur, so I'd like to know if other people think it's a task for newbies. Is artex easy to apply? What is the basic procedure for doing it? And can you do it over lining paper? Thanks.

I want to paint a dish drainer that has some type of coating already on it. This dish drainers design is unusual & I'd like to keep it, but I don't like the color. Is it safe to use regular spray paint for metal, and what is the best way to do it?
Thanks for any response.
