I'd like to do the whole floor in the bathroom using talavera tiles. I keep seeing them used as wall and backsplash tile. Is this just the way most people use them or is it a structural reason?

I am decoratiing a nursery and want to write some quotes on the walls that I just painted. IS there a certain tool to use that will just paint and not ruin the walls? I know about stencils, but that's just a hassle!

I recently found my great-grandfather's leather-bound Bible. The leather is very dry and cracking. Large pieces of leather have flaked off. Does anyone know what I can do to preserve what's left?

its probably at least 10 yrs old. in the winter we keep it just on low or pilot and it keeps our additon warm enough. we came home last night and it was off, hubby vacummed and cleaned it out, he lit the pilot and held it in-it wouldnt "spread"- but as soon as he stopped holding the button it went out.we really dont have the money right now for someone to come look at it..

I had a sales person at a national chain store tell me the price listed was the lowest she could go. She even let me walk out the store, maybe she was bluffing hoping I would come back soon. I know furniture mark up is huge, how can I get a fair deal? Say they are offering $1400, if I offer $1000 cash, will they be more willing to bite? Thanks in advance.

I live in a first floor flat and the living room of the flat below is directly underneath my bedroom, which means I can hear the bastards' TV when they decide to whack it on at 11pm. I'm thinking about getting some kind of sound proofing installed in the floor but know nothing about what options there are and how much they might cost. Any suggestions?
