Kim Larson I've seen these at a local store but always in blah white. This color is fantabulous! Now maybe I'll buy one and repaint it. :-)

Then I see this, TA-DA!! Door problem solved,I will be making this very soon!!! And I already know what color to make it, my bed room is the exact color of the idea picture!! THANKS!!

Sweet T I've always wondered if these are okay for use in HE washers & dryers...

Profile picture of Liz Cadorette

Liz Cadorette My understanding of the reports in various comments on tutorials floating around the web is that yes, so long as you don't use too much, you can use these kinds of mixes in HE machines.

Monica Lamb These are actually FANTASTIC for HE machines because they are suds less.

Profile picture of Amber V

Amber V Ikea sells a desk that looks just like that - it attaches to the Expedit shelving system. I use one of the 2x4 expedit cube shelves with the desk attached as my sewing desk - it is perfect! I'm actually thinking about adding another desk to the other side and using it as a separate cutting space.

Profile picture of Centsational Girl

Centsational Girl yes, perfect for sewing!

Profile picture of Karen

Karen Anyone know where to find those curtain panels?

Profile picture of Amber V

Amber V @Karen, it looks like they are also a DIY from Lowe's. Link is here: http://www.lowescreativeide... You can likely purchase inexpensive plain tab top panels at Ikea or Target (perhaps even Lowes?) to use as the base for the project.

Jodi Ramsey How do you get the thin stripes so straight?

Profile picture of Patricia H

Patricia H Jodi, You can create straight edges using painters tape. I've created borders on a wall using this method and touched up with a thin brush after I have removed the tape.

Profile picture of Centsational Girl

Centsational Girl If you paint over the painter's tape with your base color first, allow it to dry, then paint with the accent color, peel when wet, you'll get a perfect stripe

Profile picture of Christy Altman

Christy Altman That technique totally works, and use FrogTape as insurance... :-)

Profile picture of Jodi Ramsey

Jodi Ramsey Thank You!! I am going to give this a whirl and see what happens.
