Home Maintenance & Repairs: How do I get rid of wallpaper adhesive residue??

We recently moved into an older home and the first thing to go was the wallpaper in the living/dining room. The kids and I got it off pretty quickly with water...Now there is the sticky gluey residue! I really want to paint this room and get it put together, but I don't know how to clean the walls!

I tried TSP on a couple walls, but didn't like how that worked, so I bought some M-1 Wallpaper remover and that's not working either. Both were great for ...»

I'm going away for the weekend, but those walls will still be here when I get back. :( I'm so glad this is the only room in the house that had wallpaper, but I am NOT looking forward to this!!!

My Outdoor Door

I just "planted" a door in our backyard flower bed. I bought this door a while back at the Habitat Re-Store for $1.00! You can't tell in the picture, but its leaning forward - I'll probably have to fix that. :) I'm excited to decorate it and "plant" an old bike in front of it. Can't wait to finish making the garden our own - instead of the previous owner's.

Our Living Room- Industrial Style

This is our living room- we only have one tv area in our small cottage, so we make the most of it! We love a relaxed space with an industrial vibe : o )

Card Catalog-looking Jewelry Box - Ikea Moppe Hack

I've had the bigger version of the Ikea Moppe drawers on my dresser for ages. I used to use them for pens and pencils and scissors and such. Now I use them to hold my jewelry.

You see where this is going, yes?

My Moppe drawers stayed plain for years. I gave them a quick coat of chalk paint last year just to perk them up. But I've never been totally happy with them.

Until now. ...»
