Do It Yourself (DIY) - July 2006

I just need the ends because I am going to make my rods out of pvc pipe you'll never see it. The rod sizes I need are too expensive, I need two that are 156 in long and one that is 106 in long. I checked on the rods and there's no way I'm spending that much money when the pvc pipes will work just fine. Now all I need are finials to put on the end of the pipes and no one will ever know the difference. I found some on ebay that I may get but I want to look around a little first. Oh and if you have any ideas that are better than the pvc pipe and costs about the same let me know. I just bought some curtains form smartbargains.com for $130 dollars that would have cost $500 dollars else where. I just thought I'd let you know in case you were looking for some bargains they have just about everything.

Obviously there is more than one black or more than one process to do this. I would like expert advice on how to do this properly. I enjoy refinishing furniture and have some nice peices but I've never done black. Want to get the process just right.

What did you do? We have black mould on the wallpaper. Eventually we are stripping all of the paper off to tile but wondered if there is anything specific that needed doing to treat the dampness?

I've got 23 frozen meatballs, a jar of lingonberry jam, 2 Billy bookshelves, a couch, pillowcases, and a bathroom scale that doesn't work. Should I be considered a Swedish taxpayer?
What's your tally?

I have a fixed (ie no hinges) window seat 9ft x 2ft, that goes from wall to wall (all 3 surrounding walls are of cedar timber panelling).

The obvious way to upholster it would be to remove the lid, place foam on top and staple the material underneath it....but I cannot remove the lid as its been screwed on in a hundred places (I know because I watched the carpenter make it) and the lid is comprised of 2 x 12" wide planks.

I'm am unsure of how (or where) to staple the material to...eg on the wall panelling or on the lid? The lid does have a 1" lip, so I can staple under that to finish it off neatly. Do I start at the front, sides or back of the window seat?

And.....would it be better off longterm to go for leather, velvet (velour) or some other material....as its exposed to light most of the day but not direct sunlight? I'm not keen on cotton, fake leather or patterns.

If we have an upholsterer on board, I'd appreciate the input. Cheers, Tracy!
