  • Front porch in need of paint

Outdoor Living: Hello!

My house is a month old and has a covered CEDAR front porch. I want the spindles and railings to be white to match the rest of the trim and want the porch floor and stairs to be a darker gray. I'm wondering if it would be better to paint the porch or use a solid-color stain? I want the option with the lowest long-term maintenance!I live in Maine, in case the weather/climate is a factor in determining the recommendation!

  • Kitchen 'after'

Last summer I bought a short sale house to 'flip' as an investment and as my summer job (I'm a teacher).

I spent every waking hour fixing it up! You can see all the 'before' and 'after' pictures here: http://craftyteacherlady.blogspot.com/2010/0...

    I have a dark wood laminate in my house and I use a dry Swiffer as well as a Shark steam mop, ...»
    which only needs water and seems to do a good job thus far! I have heard that the water/vinegar combo as well but can't attest to the effectiveness as I haven't tried it.
