What would be the best way to hang a small mirror on the wall, that has no hardware for hanging?

I bought a lot of small (5inch square?) beveled edge mirrors from the dollar store with the intent of hanging them in a pattern on my wall. They are supposed to be candle coasters, so they have nothing on the back of them for mounting to a wall. I want them to be as flat against the wall as possible, and I don't want to see anything but the mirrors themselves. (No strings, or mountings visible.) Also, I am in a rented apartment, and the less damage to the walls the better. What would be the best way to go about this?

Blue Tack. Will work like a charm and leave no residue or damage when you take it off.

how can you get an antique mirror to clean up?

I have an antique mirror that looks like someone swirled their hands all over it, no winex or vinegar will work, is there any way to get this mirror to look good.

There is nothing you can do, its part of how the glass was treated and how it has aged. You can either get a new mirror cut to fit the frame or enjoy that its a part of owning an antique mirror!

Why is it, that short sighted people cannot see an image clearly in a mirror of a reflection far away?

Say you have moderately bad eyesight whilst you are driving, and you look in your rear view mirror which is only a foot away from you. Why is it that you cant read a number plate that is physically meters away - when the reflection is but feet infront?

Imagine looking at a tree 50m behind a window, say 1m away.

Light passes through the window. You aren't seeing the image on the window, you are seeing the tree behind the window. Your eyes still have to focus 50m away to see a tree.

A mirror is no different, except that it changes the direction of light. You aren't seeing the image of the tree 1m away in the window, you are seeing it 50m away. Your eyes still have to focus on a point 50m behind the mirror in order to see a tree in focus.

Now, if you replaced the mirror (or window) with a TV camera and screen, then the light is emitted from the same plane (the TV screen) and would be in focus at 1m. This is also why you loss the 3D nature of what you are looking at. Every point on the TV screen is exactly 1m away and you can clearly see anything by only focusing your eyes to 1m.

When you look in a mirror is the reflection the same as a face to face?

Let's say you look in a mirror, is the reflection the same thing your friend would see if they stood infront of you face-to-face?

no.
it is when you get two mirrors and put them at right angles to each other and then look at your reflection.

In case of mirrors, they help in producing positive energy around the place. But only when it is placed properly. Mirrors should be avoided in places where it reflects intimidating images, toilets, bedroom, staircase, etc. To spread positive energy around, mirrors are best placed in the entrance way and living room where it reflects posters and family photographs and anything that cheers you up.

Many people may choose to buy second hand mirrors which are less expensive, in order to save up on little money. Some times, they are ready to compromise with the biggest factors such as quality and brand. But they forget that such used item can be defective like one corner may be chipped off or there can be dark spots or patch somewhere. These flaws are bound to grab attention by all those who pass by. Full body length mirrors are also very popular.

One can also go for antique framed mirrors. If your interiors favor modern furniture, metallic and wooden frames can change the entire look of your room. There are also designer pieces which come in different designs which can be framed or frameless. Maintaining all your home decor items is must as they are there to make your place look something more than what it is.

Decorative mirrors are the best to brighten any dull passage or room with proper lighting. They make the room look more spacious and appealing. They are must for bedrooms and bathrooms, but can also be used in different ways for many other places and purposes. Its mere feature of reflection can be put into so many uses that create wonders and leave your place marvelous and chic looking.

How can I polish sheet metal?

I crafted some small (2 inch x 4 inch) insignia plates out of sheet metal for a Cosplay. I would like to polish them to a mirror-like finish.

What is the best technique to shine them up?

In school they gave us an aluminum block and we used differents grits of sand paper, starting from a rough say 400 or 600 and wet sanding it dipping in water and sanding the block in circles across the metal, then work way up gradually to a finer grit, to a very fine grit using the wet sanding this would take off the scratches and then use a polish on it to polish it up with a soft pad. Takes awhile but does get a good finish I imagine it is probably a poor mans way of doing it. If you got the tools I would go with a power tool method of some sort, maybe a dremel I believe they have buffing wheels for it

Technology Gives A Cutting Edge in Cutting Sheet and Plate Metals

Technological advances in the field of manufacturing are what companies use to gain and maintain a cutting edge over their competition. Thirty years ago no one would believe the technologies of James Bond and Star Wars would find their way to the metal fabricator's shop floor; but they have. Two innovative alternatives to burning or oxidizing sheet and plate steel are:

* Laser Cutting of steel
* Plasma Cutting of steel

Laser technology gained much ground in the 1980's through Defense Department research. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) paved the way for today's advanced commercial applications of laser use.

Laser is a word derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It involves the use of an electronic optical device. In the case of steel, output from the device, the laser beam, targets an area of the sheet or plate. This laser stream receives its direction from a computer, which pinpoints the area requiring the cut.

Cutting steel with a laser-cutting machine offers an accurate clean cut. Many other materials benefit from this process, such as wood, copper and exotic alloys. Sheet and plate steel receive cuts of close tolerance, much faster than traditional cutting methods. Laser cutting machines are capable of cutting steel up to one inch thick. These machines can perform these accurate cuts repeatedly and with high consistency.

With laser cutting, the cut edges of the steel are clean. This leaves a cut edge with a nice surface finish. This type of cutting allows for less warping of steel; as the zone affected by the heat is small. Laser applications mean less physical contact with the sheet or plate steel. This means less wear on the steel being cut and less chance of a poor quality cut.

Another great advantage of laser cutting of steel is that there is no wear on the laser. This is an advantage over mechanical cutting tools, which undergo stress and wear in the cutting process. If proper maintenance is performed on the optical mirrors used to reflect the laser beam to its target, many months of use are possible before they must be replaced; unlike standard tooling.

Plasma cutting machines utilize a different process. A plasma cutter or torch uses inert gas or compressed air. It uses pressurized nitrogen, argon, or oxygen. Today the use of compressed air is more common.

This air propels at high speed from the cutter nozzle. As air rushes through this specially designed nozzle, an electrical arc develops. This air hits the surface of the steel sheet or plate. Some of this air (or gas) turns to plasma: plasma that is very hot and able to melt the steel receiving the cut. Because it moves at high speed, the plasma blows away the molten metal. This blowing away of molten metal is the cutting process in action.

Plasma cutting machines can cut steel of one inch or less. The plasma cutting process can make non-linear or curved and angled cuts. It works faster on thinner steel than the burning or oxy-fuel process. Any conductive material (ability to transmit electricity) can have the plasma cutting method applied.

The introduction of smaller nozzles and thinner plasma electrical arcs are the result of advances in plasma technology. These produce cut edges close to the quality of those produced by laser methods.

The use of laser and plasma cutting machines give manufacturers the ability to make cuts that are more precise. It also gives them the capability of making different types of cuts, all with greater speed. This helps the efficiency of their operations in the competitive business climate of today.

The steel industry continues to be on the cutting edge of steel cutting technology. And lasers and plasma cutters are one of the methods they employ to stay there.

Will a white headboard match a room with mismatched wood dressers?

We are in the final stages of redoing our bedroom. We painted the room a light/medium blue, and the ceiling, trim, and doors white. We have butterscotch hardwood floors and white faux wood blinds. The only problem is that we couldn't afford new dressers and they do not match. They are both wood, but they are two different stains and types of wood. I was thinking of getting a white, metal, floral type headboard. Do you think that will match? What would you get?
I would paint or stain my husband's dresser because someone gave it to him and it is ugly, but mine is an heirloom that is beautiful the way it is and I would never touch it.

We have mismatched nightstands in our room.

I totally love mismatched furniture.
There are easy ways to make two mismatched pieces look harmonious.

1) Unify with hardware. Find hardware for your husband's dresser that is not an exact match to yours, but has similar tones. look up vandyke's hardware on the internet. or if yours are easy to remove, you can carefully save the hardware from yours and buy similar hardware for both dressers.

If you can, you can also refinish your husband's dresser. the color will never be the same being different woods, but you can refinish it to a color that would be a warm tone, a cool tone, etc that would compliment the other a little without matching.

2) Unify with symmetry. You can skip the hardware idea or go for it - but If something is done to one, do to the other - if one has a print hanging above it - do the same with the other. If one has a few books on top, do it with the other. You get the idea. Or buy a set of matching lamps. The items do not have to be identical on the other dresser, just harmonious. But do pick the same color dresser scarf or something.

3) With your headboard - if they are both medium to dark woods, the white would look like a third thing in the room that doesn't match. If they are darker woods i would go wrought iron or better yet, i would buy an inexpensive headboard or piece of wood and cover it with fabric. If you pick a geometric, i would buy fabric from one of the secondary colors in it and make dresser scarfs. If you pick a solid, find a subtle print for the dressers people will notice it versus dressers that don't match.

what i mean by dresser scarf is not necessarily anything drapey. it could just be like a placemat, just cut to more of the shape of the dresser top to protect it and add color.

Also, another point to note - make sure the dressers are clean.

And one more thing - you can always check estate sales and yard sales and second hand shops - you may find a dresser that works better with yours for cheap money as well.

Why Teak Wood Is The Best Wood For Making Outdoor Furniture

When most people think of teak wood furniture, what comes to mind is usually information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to teak wood furniture than just the basics information. If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole story from informed sources.

When home owners have to encounter with severe changes of weather from extreme hot to cold temperature of even rainy season, they always busy with moving their outdoor furniture into the house to protect furniture from bad weather or they have to choose to leave the furniture outside the house but put some waterproof coating on them. However, for people who use teak outdoor furniture is not the case, because the home owners do not have to be busy or worry about moving them inside the house, on the other hand, they just have to leave them there outside the house all year long and provide constantly easy care.

As we all know that among home owners that teak furniture has become more popular and many more of designers are discovering the benefit of them in terms of durable and long lasting. Teak is grown in tropical zone countries such as in Burma, Indonesia and Thailand. The most distinct benefits of teak are durable (about 10 to 20 years at least), light and convenient and easy to maintenance.

In the past time, there were some kinds of wood that popular for making furniture that need to be placed in the area that has extreme changes conditions. Woven wicker and white wood are two kind of popular wood for making furniture. However, after many of designers and home owners have discovered that teak is more durable and easy care as well as its charming of colour. Teak has been remarkably recognized widely throughout the world even for furniture manufacturers, especially ones who made patio or outdoor furniture.

Apart form it uniqueness of colour and usage, teak is only one type of wood that has magnificent resistant of other condition, which they never be found in any kind of wood, which is they are free from pests, especially termites. Termites are the enemy of almost all kind of wood but not for teak. Teak has very hard texture and also some kind of moisture and oil that termites do not like, so we could not find that teak are destroy by termites and this is also one of the most unique advantage of teak wood furniture. Apart from being a kind of popular wood for home furniture, teak also be used in other function such as marine construction which can guarantee that your outdoor teak furniture will resist to all other kind of weather and climate changes.

However, even though teak is unique and be able to resist many kinds of threads, you still have to be careful of using them and give proper maintenance. You should not avoid spilling food or drinks on the wood surface. In case if there are unavoidable situation and you have left some spills on them, make sure that you clean it immediately before the spill have become permanent and they will be very difficult to clean. Other disadvantage of teak is only the price, due to teak requires about 30-40 years to grow before they are ready to be harvest so this effect to low supply and this cause the price of teak so expensive, but if you have some money, I suggest you go for it.

Which gem stone should I wear?

I am currently wearing a .10 carat diamond in the center finger of my right hand.
Name: Natasha
DOB: 24 April 1982
Time: 7:10 pm evening
place of birth: Hyderabad, India

Please let me know what gem stone I should wear and carat weight.
set in gold or sliver? And any predictions?

I think you should go for a 2-carat pink tourmaline, set in 22k gold. A 2-ct stone is a perfect size stone for someone your age...you are a young woman yet you are old enough to know and purchase a great piece of jewelry. Get one set in gold because it will glow on your skintone and will become a conversation piece. Men will grab your hand and be intrigued by it. It is the gemstone of love and friendship and wearing the stone will result in long lasting relationships. It is also a gemstone which is full of color and yet no two will look the same.

Tips on Painting & Decorating - Part 1

Over the years DIYers have kindly sent in lots of tips and ideas to make decorating easier. A selection of these are below for your education, and in some cases, for your amusement. We hope you find these gems from fellow decorators useful.

Please note that these tips have not been tested by Resene and are included below as supplied to us. If you have a handy tip of your own to share we'd love to hear from you - submit your handy tip.

To get paint odour out of a room, cut a large onion in half, place in a bowl, close the doors for a couple of days, and the paint odour will be gone. Don't know how it works but it does and the room doesn't smell of onions.

After lifting a carpet, I found that there was paper on the floor. To remove it, I used a steam iron (old one) and a spray bottle to soak and remove. Took about 10-15 minutes to remove approx half a metre. From: Susan

To remove glue from a wooden floor use a wallpaper remover that gives off steam. We had tried everything else -even a spade to try to scrape it off. After holding the steamer onto the glue for a couple of minutes, we could scrape the glue off with just a paint scraper. It saved us hours of work. Make sure you use a mask. From: Joanne

Plastic freezer containers from the supermarket or empty ice-cream containers make great paint trays for speedbrushing. Clip the lid on between coats to save paint wastage. From: Stephanie

If you have a bit of spot priming to do on your roof use a pop top drink bottle to hold the paint. Just squirt a drop on the spot you wish to prime and brush the primer out. The bottle is easy to seal and can be put into your pocket and the brush slipped into a plastic bag. No need to cart a can around. From: DG Mansell

Move your cars to a safe place when you are painting the roof. A while ago we painted the roof on a warm day with a light breeze in the air - once we got down off the roof we discovered our cars had little spots of red paint all over them! True story - we learned an expensive lesson. From: Karen

My husband and I had just finished stripping the wallpaper in the family room of the house that we were redecorating and were in the kitchen having dinner when we heard a whining noise from the family room. When we raced in to see what it was, we found our dog Betsy lying on the ground with wet wallpaper all matted in her fur! Tip: Close the door when decorating with animals/children in the house!From: Roil

If you paint around windows but haven't masked them properly use the ceramic cooktop razor cleaner to remove the dried paint from the glass. It has a handle and is easy to use without scratching the glass. From: Lyn

My best diy/decorating tip is to do one room at a time! From: Shute

When painting above your head with a brush, paint tends to drip down the brush onto your hand. To avoid this, put a small hole in an ice-cream container lid and place the handle of the brush through the hole. You won't get any paint on your hand as it will go onto the lid. Once you have finished the job you can clean and reuse the lid. From: Nicola

If you want something done, start on it yourself then leave it half finished. This way your husband/wife will hate looking at it and finish it off for you. This has been tried and tested by me. I wanted the garage painted so started one wall and never quite finished it. When my husband saw it, he couldn't bear to see it half done, so now I have my garage painted! From: Veronica

Paint one wall of your house each year. Then the job seems a lot smaller. From: Ron

If your husband says he is going to paint the house, rush out and pay someone that week to do it! Sorry to all DIY hubbys. From: Adele

When taking out or walling up a door or window, use the gap to create an in-built bookshelf. This is very effective if you have an arched door you no longer want. From: Andrea

Use a grinder to get melted clothing off an iron. From: Michelle

When putting up plasterboard on a ceiling and lacking people to hold it up while you screw it in, tack a temporary ledge onto the top of the walls that you can slot the edge of the plasterboard into while you screw the other side to the ceiling. From: Shanny

Prepare the surface before you start painting, and apply the paint as per the manufacturer's written instructions! From: Samir

If you are a keen do it yourselfer and have a hands free phone, wrap the phone in gladwrap. It will be kept clean even if you answer it with your hands covered in paint. This is also a good idea if you have a mobile phone. The film does not affect the phone and it does not reduce the sound quality. From: Bob

When painting a feature wall, use tape. Tape the sidewalls and the skirting boards to protect against paint splashes. When you are cutting into the ceiling, use a 'cutting in' brush. From: Katrina

To make a tile-like paint effect cut a pot scrubber (i.e. sponge and pot scourer combined) into squares of whatever size you want, glue the scouring side onto a stiff backing leaving space between each square to represent grouting. Paint the squares in various colours or the same colour and apply around dados or doors to get a Greek tile effect. From: Liz

When painting with a roller, cover your glasses' lenses with gladwrap. Then when you have finished painting, just peel off the gladwrap. From: Noleen

My Dad put in a watertank at the farm to collect drinking water off the roof. He was up his aluminum extension ladder and had just finished connecting the final piece of spouting from the guttering to the watertank. He climbed down the ladder and as he was putting it away, discovered that he couldn't - he'd put the spouting through the rungs of the ladder. TIP: Always move your ladder before connecting the spouting! From: Jim

Use old lampshades as funnels when pouring from one paint can to another. From: Peter

Decorating tip for men: It is obvious that the wife will have ideas on redecorating but will insist on your input, which will then be discarded as either inane, insane or just plain dumb. However it is no use saying 'just do as you like dear' as that will be regarded as not participating properly and will confirm her feelings that you are not really involved with this project. So it is best to listen to her half carefully (as apart from not at all) during proceeding weeks leading up to the decision, and then when the question comes you can suggest some ideas along the lines of those you know she has been thinking. It is even wise to browse a couple of mags she has left lying around (this is not by accident). This is really smart as it saves arguments, she will think you are brilliant to be thinking the same as her and what's more she will come to the idea you have a modicum of taste and may let you buy your own clothes in future. From: Dave

When painting outside windows, place masking tape around the already painted areas and the windows to avoid unwanted paint splashes. Make sure you take the masking tape off before the paint dries. From: Liz and Stu

When painting, empty the paint can so there is enough room for you to tap the sides of the paint can with the paintbrush. This helps to remove excess paint on your brush. Stir your paint thoroughly before putting your brush in. From: William-John

When using a roller, use zigzag strokes, covering the surface in a 'w'shape. Keep the roller on the surface at all times, as if you let it spin, it will spray the paint around. Finish the rolling in one direction.From: Stan

When painting ceilings, wear a plastic shower cap to stop paint dripping on your head. From: Lynda

New roller covers tend to leave unattractive fuzz behind on the painted surface, even the ones that say lint free. To avoid this, wrap masking tape several times around your hand sticky side up. Run the roller over the tape several times before painting. From: L Hammond

Both my bathroom and toilet walls were painted a pale yellow. To liven the rooms up I painted orange from the top corner of each window down to the bottom corner of the door when entering. It now looks like a ray of orange sunlight coming through the windows even on the dreariest days. It is really effective without being overpowering. From: Debi

Use a 2L plastic milk carton for a paint and brush holder. Simply cut away the side of the container (opposite side to the handle), starting 4-6 inches above the base up to just short of the neck. Pour in your paint and use by holding the milk carton handle as normal and dip brush into the paint via the cutaway side. Take the cap off so you have somewhere for the handle of the brush. Once you have finished painting you can turn the container upside down and drain through the cap hole. From: Paul

Everyone hates cleaning up after painting so here is a tip on how to make this job easier. After emptying the tins that our baby formula comes in I keep them for cleaning our paintbrushes. They have a plastic lid on top, which means you can cut holes in it if you have a larger than normal paintbrush handle and leave it sticking through. The lid also seals in the fumes from your cleaning solution. From: Anon

To help keep your children's rooms tidy, paint old beer crates in bright colours and use them to store clothes and toys. From: Jason and Suzanne

Tips on cleaning brushes: Using enamel (oil) based paint: Half fill a jam jar with mineral turps and dip your brush into it several times. Then rinse the brush clean using warm/hot water. Repeat 2 - 3 times until the brush is clean. My husband scoffed at me when I started using this method as he thought you shouldn't mix oil and water, however 5 years on and I am still using the same brush. Needless to say he now cleans his brush this way too. Using waterbased paint: When cleaning your brush under the tap use wonder soap as well, especially when you have dry paint around the top of your brush head. From: Jane

I've recently painted my 3.5m stud Kauri ceiling with a brush, as the roller didn't fit between the batons. Rather than walking up and down the ladder with one brush full of paint, I found the best container to carry the paint in was a cut down 2 litre milk container with the handle intact. It held enough for one ladder's worth of painting and had a large well balanced handle. From: Gretchen and Pauline

If you want to create a neat texture, use springs off a spiral notebook, and swirl it all over the fresh paint. From: Anon

How to check your spirit level is level - Place your level on the floor. Mark the position of each corner with a pen/pencil then note the position of the bubble. Turn the level around and align it with the markings you made on the floor. Check the position of the bubble. Now do the same with the level upside down. If the readings of the bubbles match your level is level, otherwise use the screws to adjust the vials and repeat the checks until the readings match. From: Matthew

My tip: Don't let your husband attempt to DIY otherwise you may end up like us: (1) Fixed leak in roof, but now we have a hole that is growing with every drop of rain and one day will collapse. (2) Paint job, yes we (or I should say professionals) will now have to eventually re-paint the roof as he thought he would include other areas not intended. Also thought the carpet needed painting. (3) Lining in pool - Hawke's Bay has had the best weather this summer and unfortunately, even though we have a pool, we have been unable to use this due to his patchwork and neighbours complaining that our pool is leaking in their gardens. It is now empty again. From: Melanie 39. To remove old wallpaper, wipe over the wallpaper with water and dishwashing liquid, leave about five minutes and it will just peel off. From: Richard and Sandra

When stripping wallpaper, spray with fabric softener and a little water. The fabric softener breaks down the surface tension of the wallpaper and allows the water to soak in better. This will help the wallpaper come off easier. From: Kathleen

If you own your own house and want to make exterior painting a little easier, paint the house a standard colour, white is always good, and paint one side of the house each year. This will cut the work down to a more manageable size and keep the house well painted at the same time. From: M Teal

You can make a paint tray by using an old box with shallow sides and covering it with two white plastic shopping bags. When you stop between coats or colours, just take the bags off and change them. From: Glenn

Apply petroleum jelly over door handles and hinges before painting to stop the paint sticking to them. Alternatively, foil wrap door handles and other hardware before painting to keep them splatter free.From: R Brooks

If you hire a ready mix truck to do your driveway, make sure you work from the top of the drive to the road. If you don't, you will be stuck with a truck full of concrete that will set if you don't keep it running (which might cost a bit) unless you want to drive it back over your nice new flat drive that took ages to do! From: Cassie

Hate stripping wallpaper before you paint? You don't have to! With this tip, you'll create walls of interest. Use a large porous sponge and ready-made plaster. Dip the sponge into the plaster and 'hit' the wall, making sure you make 'peaks' on the wall with the plaster. Let the plaster semi-dry, but before it dries completely, trowel the plaster, using consistent strokes (whatever stroke you chose). Once the plaster dries completely, you can paint the newly textured wall in a variety of exciting colours by Resene. To make the wall even more interesting you can use a basecoat on the wall and then use a Chux cloth (or any other material with an interesting texture) dipped in a contrasting colour and 'hit the wall' with the Chux cloth. In the process of creating a unique design, you'll also cover blemishes. From: Karin

My top 10 tips for landlords with multiple rental properties are:
1. Buy Resene, anything else is an insult to your preparation efforts.
2. Replace worn wallpaper in rentals with paint (after stopping to a paint finish). It wears better and is quicker and cheaper to repair.
3. Keep walls and exteriors all the same. You can buy your paint in bulk and won't have numerous 1/2 pails sitting around. Maintain the individuality of your houses by using different feature colours. Then write the name of the house and where you used the paint (e.g. roof, trims, sills etc) on the can lid.
4. If you are replacing weatherboards, undercoat them before you put them up. But don't stack them until they really are dry.
5. The best thing to apply paint onto a roughcast house is a car cleaning brush. Get one with a reasonable amount of bristles. Those big square bushes sold in paint shops are good, but they're awfully heavy for a lady and too big to dip into a paint pail.
6. Learn to use a crockpot/cook casseroles. Put tea on and you'd be surprised what you can get done if you do 1/2 hour to an hour most days. Or wait until your little one is in bed and then do internal walls. Wrap your brush/roller in gladwrap loaded with paint to keep it soft.
7. Ladders are better exercise than any aerobic class.
8. Learn to paint with both arms.
9. Take your time to do a good job and enjoy it.
10. Go to 'How To' evenings. You may learn something new. From: Michelle

To cover an old lounge suite and two chairs buy 1 x double fitted sheet and 2 x single fitted sheets and some small velcro dots. Place sheets over lounge suite and tuck in where needed, then use the velcro dots to fasten down. With velcro dots you can just take off the covers and throw them into the wash. From: Belinda

To create a weathered Mexican wall look, plaster outside concrete brick walls with cement and plaster by hand to get an authentic look (great way to get the kids involved as perfection is not required!). Paint the wall in your chosen colour (terracotta looks great). Drop small blobs of white paint into the roller tray, roll the roller through it and then haphazardly paint over the original wall colour. This should result in blurred streaks of white throughout the terracotta second coat. Do not roll in a particular direction, just all over the wall. When dry, the wall will look like weathered terracotta. From: Natasha

Make sure you don't pay for the complete job up front. I bought a house in the north about 3 years ago and the guy that was moving my furniture told me along the way that he was a builder, so I agreed he could help me with my DIY plans. My very big mistake was trusting the jerk. He quoted me about $6000, which like a fool I paid there and then. All he had to do was to put in a wall as three already existed and put in a wall divider. To cut the story short, I fired him after 4 days, as the wall he put in to enclose the room didn't touch the ground! He had charged up tools on my account, ripped me off on materials and not paid some local suppliers. I waited for a few days and then thought I had better get stuck in and finish the job. Two family members joined in and helped and a fortnight later all was finished - YAY!!!From: Roseanne

When decorating a room, paint a stick or small board with your chosen colours to carry with you when choosing fabrics, accessories etc. From: Meg

All about men's white suits

All about men's white suits:

Men's white suits are crisp, cool and elegant. White suits are worn at appropriate time and place. It is strictly summer attire. White suit is not purchased to stay in your wardrobe. Pick it only if you really have the courage to wear it.

There are many dos and don'ts on the subject of wearing white suits. They are;

- Do not wear a white suit if you live in a cold place where summers don’t go above 72 degrees Fahrenheit. You can wear the suit only when it is officially summer.

- Outdoor venues are the appropriate places to flaunt your body in that perfect white suit.

- Dress up in your white suit for outdoor weddings.

- Do not wear it in the city.

- Go for a slim fit suit. White suits are fashion statements in themselves. They are not business attire. White suits are usually tapered at waist and tailored to shoulders.

- Do not adorn your white suit with multicolor accessory or shirt.

- Buy soft pastel color dress shirts to go along with you white suit.

- Do not wear a shirt that has embroidery or patterns on it.

- For a shoe to go with the suit, try a black loafer or brown shoes without any metal adoration on it.

- Do wear a solid black tie for a perfect look.

- Incase if you wish to dress down a little, pair your white jacket with black loafers, black dress shirt and a pair of jeans. This looks is an evening stunner.

- Don’t be worried about linen and its stains.

- Wash your suits by hand. Cold machine wash also works wonders.

- Do dry clean it once in a while. Check online for organic cleaners as they are better for the fabric and our environment.

- Keep your suit inside cover as much as possible. This will hold its freshness and keeps it clean.

- Good linen can be cleaned very easily. Stains do come off the fabric more easily than mixed fabrics. Simple but powerful solutions to get rid of the stains that make your suit ugly will work wonders.

- Real tough stains on your beautiful white suit can be erased off only by a professional cleaner. So stop panicking and trust the professional in times of real disasters.

- It is suggested to minimize the usage of white suits. Do not wear it the whole day as it becomes susceptible to dirt, wrinkles and stains.

- As a tester try your suit on before you decide to wear it for an important occasion. This will give you a fair idea of how long your suit can be fresh and bright.
