I think the white wainscotting is so cute. I especially like it with blue, yellor or sage green, particularly, as sublime said, in a cottage setting. Looks nice in a bathroom or bedroom.
Re: Any stamp or coin collectors? « Result #4 on Jun 6, 2009, 11:57pm »
Hello
My brother and I started collecting coins in the mid 1960's. We'd go to the bank and buy rolls of coins and look through them for old coins. I found 2 whole rolls of buffalo nickels, tons of wheat pennies, silver dimes, steel pennies [WW2 period], WW2 era nickels, silver quarters and half dollars. I still have them all. I have some 1$ silver certificates, some old $2 bills, silver dollars and a bunch of old foreign coins. And some foreign coins from when we lived in Germany when my dad was stationed there with the Army and we traveled over Europe each summer on vacation camping trips in the early - mid 1960's.
Homemade Spray & Wash « Result #6 on Aug 20, 2007, 10:00am »
It's pretty stinky because of the ammonia but I get the lemon scent and it's not as bad.
1 part ammonia 1 part liquid laundry detergent 1 part baking soda 6 parts water
I fudge it so it fits in the original spray bottle. Also a great degreaser for laundry is to rub GoJo (hand wash for mechanics) on the stain -- it works for all grease stains! Use an old tooth brush to get it into the fabric then wash as usual. Check if stain is completely gone prior to drying in the dryer. Steps may need to be repeated but so far, this has worked for me on every first try.

Chiming in REALLY late but...
I'd be really tempted to reline my jewelry box with some of it and/or make small rounds of it for padded feet under items like a candy dish or something like that - but learned the hard way that red felt, once wet, bleeds like crazy so I won't use it under a vase ever again - just me.
Oh, also just thought of maybe using it as background for a shadow box or under lace at the holidays?

weeding I need to do and then I need to get some flowers to plant. Best get with it before all the really good flowers are taken at the nursery. Maybe this weekend.
