Helen Answered on Nov 26, 2013

Does any one know why you (or I) can not get on the graphics fairys web site this morning? I keep getting a 502 bad gateway.

Karen - The Graphics Fairy: Thanks @360 Sod (Donna Dixson) ! It's back up and running now! I seem to be having an issue with a faulty plug in, but haven't been able to figure out which one it is!

I have these walls in living room and bathroom

Jerri Jones Answered on Aug 31, 2016

somebody told me they were used in the old days in trailer homes. don't know what to do with them, rather not remove them!! any suggestions???? thanks

Karen - The Graphics Fairy: I once whitewashed some wallpaper that I didn't care for. I mixed up some white paint with a lot of water and sponged it over the paper. You can still see the print, but it subdues it, and can make it look as if it's a faded painted pattern. It can be a very pretty romantic look. If you don't like flowers though, then I would paint over it with primer and then paint, like the other commenters suggested.

Karen - The Graphics Fairy: I meant to say you can paint over the holes, providing you are painting the whole piece, which it sounds like you want to do anyway! Also, one more thought, you could move all those handles to the bottom drawers, and then do knobs on the top smaller drawers. And... you actually can paint the hardware too, so you could paint the knobs to match if you wanted!
