Make Your Own Barstool Cushions
March 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Making barstool cushions is a very easy craft project. A sewing machine makes it even easier and your cushions stronger, although you could sew each cushion by hand. Bar stools with backs are even easier to make cushions for, but cushions for barstools without backs can be simple, too.
Barstool Cushions for Stools with Backs
* Measure your barstool seat.
* Trace your measurements on butcher or parchment paper and add 1-1/4 inches for seam allowance.
* Pin your pattern to the wrong side of your fabric and cut out two pieces, one for the bottom and one for the top.
* Sew two lengths of cord into the right side of each back corner to tie the cushion to the barstool.

If you own a swimming pool, it can be quite easy to notice a leak.
Once you have opened your pool for the year, you can easily spot a leak
by the water gushing out. Where the leak is coming from though, may be
an entirely different story. Sometimes it may be easy to tell,
although other times it can be a bit more complicated.

Grout sealing, is it worth it?
November 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Sealing your grout is a good idea in theory, but find out why it’s not such a good idea just yet.
So, you’ve just spent
a weekend off cleaning your grout and tile and now your home looks
fantastic. Great! I told you it wasn’t that hard! Now, how do you
protect your grout and tile from becoming dirty again?
Well, that’s
what grout sealants are for. In theory, grout sealers leave behind a
thin layer on your grout and tile that protects it from wear and tear,
dirt, dust, and all the stuff that can make it dirty. Sounds good,
right? Well, like I said, it’s all theory. In reality, grout sealants
on the market DO leave behind a layer on your grout and tile but it’s
not what you’d think it should be. The layer they leave behind is known
to be sticky and uncomfortable on your feet, it also turns into a pale
yellow color all over your tile over time and instead of giving your
floor a nice shine it makes it feel waxy and slippery. Since it’s a bit
sticky, when dirt and such comes into contact with it, it actually
keeps it there instead of it being protected. It literally sticks to
the grout and tile, making it even worse.
