kuka asked:


hi, i painted my new outdoor wicker furniture into white yesterday. i used outdoor spray paint that says it’s good for wicker. i also read somewhere that primer is not necessary, so i didn’t apply it. today i woke up and checked if the paint dried. it’s not sticky but if i lightly scratch it with my nail it comes off. what can do? it’s been 24 hours since i applied the last coat. please help!
thanks for replying. no, i used flat:( i also bought 2 cans of crystal clear finish. should i apply this at all?

I’m trying to remove a splinter i got last night at work. i was moving wicker furniture. i tried removing it last night but it didn’t come out. Will it soon work itself out? Or do I keep on trying (in very small increments).

Any ideas for a “peaceful” atmosphere at home?

Leigh asked:


I’m trying to furnish my first apartment with some style. My idea is to keep is somewhat modern, yet comfortable, and peaceful. I want it clean, but somewhere I can relax and enjoy my time at home. However, I have a problem deciding what furniture to put in what room and what it should look like… wood, metal, wicker? If anyone knows of some great websites… OTHER than Ikea :) please let me know!
