5 Things to Do with…
Magnets 1. SPICE THINGS UP Move spices into shallow, compact containers with magnet backings that let them live on the front of the fridge.
2. BOOKMARK THIS Simply stitch small, circular magnets (available at your local craft store) between two strips of leftover fabric. Even if the book jostles around in your bag for hours, this customized, eye-catching, and magnetized bookmark isn’t very likely to budge.
3. GET IT TOGETHER Is your desk littered with things like thumbtacks and paperclips? Magnets are perfect for corralling these metallic odds and ends, and you need not sacrifice style for better organization.
4. STAY ORGANIZED Simplify meal planning by making handy labels made from magnetic tape to represent the family’s favorite foods, while the days of the week and important reminders can be handwritten on the magnetic board with markers in your favorite colors.
5. PROVIDE EASY ACCESS In some parts of the home, such as the bathroom, there’s a finite set of things that you’re always reaching for. To keep these “usual suspects” easily accessible, mount a magnetic board (beautified with a frame), then glue a magnet to each personal item you want to keep close at hand.

7 Quick Fixes to 4. Unjamming Make Around Sliding Windows Your House by Adam Bluestein
A little silicone spray lubricant (sold at hardware stores) will grease the skids. Spray it onto a rag, then wipe along the tracks, whether they’re metal, wood, or plastic.
1.Squeaky Door Hinges
5. Plumping Up Deflated Cushions
Spray a little WD-40 onto the hinges, moving the door back and forth to work in the lubricant. Or try rubbing the hinges with petroleum jelly. If these tricks don’t work, lift the hinge pins about halfway and lubricate them with three-in-one oil, using a rag to catch drips.
Put them outside in the sun for a few hours, flipping them halfway through. (Be carefulЮleaving them out too long may fade the fabric.) The sun will help evaporate the moisture that gets into the filling over time, and the cushions should plump up nicely.
2. Fixing Unfurled 6. Repairing Marked Wallpaper Up Linoleum Floors With a knife, smear wallpaper paste onto a piece of writing paper. Rub the paper against the underside of the peeling section. Press the wallpaper against the wall. Slide the writing paper out and smooth away bubbles with a clean cloth.
Rub the spot with white toothpaste and a dry cloth or with an eraser. Or spray WD-40 on a towel and rub lightly, making sure to degrease the area afterward with liquid dishwashing soap and water.
3.Washing Chandeliers
7. Organizing & Storing Cords
Allow the fixture to cool. Wear a pair of white cotton glovesЮone dry, one dampened with glass cleaner. (For crystal, use one part rubbing alcohol to three parts distilled water.) Wipe each prism with the damp glove, then the dry one.
Cowgirls and sailors alike know the benefits of storing ropes neatly coiled. Follow their lead and keep extension cords tangle-free and contained inside a large plastic bucket when they’re not in use.

STRIPING PAINT TECHNIQUE Stripes are a great decorative technique for your walls. It's a fun look that will really make a room -- and your home -- unique. Step 1: Choose Vertical or Horizontal Stripes
Step 5: Press the Strip of Tape to the Wall
A subtle striping technique, with alternating flat and glossy stripes, can add perceived dimension to a room. They are classic, elegant and never go out of style. Horizontal stripes make a room appear more spacious; vertical stripes make the ceiling appear higher. Tone-ontone vertical striping was the technique we used in our demonstration. Here's how we did it -- plus a few tips to make the job even easier.
Place the end dot on the tape you've already applied to the wall and press the strip to the wall. Next, use a laser level to shoot a beam onto the second dot; pull the tape loose at that point. The beam from the level will show you exactly where to place the next strip of tape. (You can rent or buy a laser level. Just set it up in the middle of the room and you can turn it so it hits every wall as you work your way around the room.) Tip: Remember that because you will be painting only every other stripe, you'll need to tape out the pattern so that every other stripe is outlined by the tape. Make sure to tape outside the chalk line; fresh paint will cover up the lines. Tip: You can also make the lines with a chalk line. Use blue chalk because red or yellow is a permanent color.
Step 6: Adjust the Width Step 2: Prep Work Striping is a very simple technique. And the final effect can add to the perceived size and dimension of a room. Just remember to measure and tape carefully (anything that's not straight will be very noticeable) and to take your time. As with all paint projects, prep work is key. First paint a base coat on the walls; for stripes that's really important because the base coat will be one of the stripes. Use a flat paint that is exactly the same color as the stripe to be painted on. It's also important that the base coat dry for 48 hours before you start to work on the stripes.
Step 3: Measure and Mark the Walls After the base coat is completely dry, begin measuring and marking the walls for the stripes.
It's unlikely that the measurements will work out perfectly. Any small differences won't be seen, however, because you started in an obscure corner. If you want to be more exact, adjust the width of the stripes on the last wall. A 1/4" to 1/2" difference won't be visible to the eye.
Step 7: Burnish the Wall Burnish wall with burnisher (a credit card works too) to seal the tape edges so no paint seeps underneath the tape.
Step 8: Paint Over the Tape Paint over the tape line with a semigloss paint, making sure to cover the entire area of each stripe (anything missed will show up as a contrast in sheens). One coat should be enough.
Measure the wall, starting in the corner that's least seen.
Step 9: Remove the Tape Next, divide the wall. Stripes should be between 4" and 12" wide. (A width of less than 4" would be too narrow and busy; more than 12", too wide and heavy. We're doing 8" stripes.) Place the first strip of tape in that obscure corner where you began measuring.
Remove the tape once you've painted the wall, angling away from the freshly painted area as you pull
Step 4: Make a 'Tape' Measure Make a "tape legend" for easy measuring. First tear off a strip of low-tack painter's tape, 4' to 6' long. Stick it to the wall for easy handling and using a tape measure, mark it with dots corresponding to the width of the stripes you wish to paint. This will keep you from having to measure each stripe as you tape the wall. 8
