Lora Horn I've fermented it by adding whey and letting it sit out for a few days. It tasted great, and no one got sick :)

Since I'm painting the kitchen cabinets

Ema Lily Yeah! I used a foam brush for no brush marks, but it doesn't give a very thick coat. And, unless you're changing hardware, painting the doors without removing them is much quicker and saves having to have 100 square feet of properly covered floor to do it on.

Another pinner said: "I had upholstered chairs before,but this taught me the proper way." Especially helpful is the instruction on how to do corners.

Like the simple lines of this one

Another one with dual pedestals.

I thought of two pedestals with storage between when I was in my soon-to-be-redone bathroom this morning. I would forgo the wall cabinet.

Jenny On Pinterest Hey, I've done that! Used sheer fabric, so it was sorta like fake Illusions Shadings or whatever they're called.

This could be perfect for my butler's pantry. And the windows over the mantel. And. . .

Curtains I think I could actually make. Even with my limited skills.

I may have to try to make one of these. It would be useful and I have some adorable Amy Butler fabric squares that I could use.

Jane Casey I've procrastinated getting the guest room closet painted and it has nothing in it. I might as well go ahead with the project. :)

EXPEDIT. Need some.

Oh! Oh! OH! I just got a great idea for my downstairs hall.

35 dollars for the two bookcases, and some baseboard trim to make it look like a great built in. (Could work for the central hall.)

I wish I could paint the dining room furniture white!

Adrienne Newman Paint it! It's just furniture.

What a cool idea. Paint a bench, wall, and shelf the same color to make it look like a built-in. This could fill my need for a hall tree.

@Bethany Meyer What would you think of this in the guest room?

This would be so easy to make! I think I may have to do this as part of our laundry room redo.

This could be a cute idea for my bathrooms.

Here's another idea @Jenny Jordan: Papered stair treads.

Jenny On Pinterest Oh, wow! I love that!

Cute closet-turned-nook. I would have loved this when I was a kid. I think that my grandchildren's grandma's house is going to have this closet. ;)

@Bethany Meyer WHat would you think about this for the front porch? Thrift store chair turned swing!

This could have some cool uses in my white, yellow, & gray kitchen.

Maybe this for one of the halls?

Pool deck--This, sans pergolas, is what I want to do. But it would be up to the rdge of the concrete instead of the edge of the pool.
