Baked sheets When I gave birth to my boys at home eighteen and twenty years ago, my midwife instructed me to wash and dry my linens on the hottest settings then place them in paper bags, tape the bags and bake in the oven. I've looked for the baking time and temperature online, and it appears...

A conversation with our sons about Formula One and Nascar racing led to memories of go-karts. I had two. I first thought of the AMC Pacer gas powered car that I had when I was about nine. I remember my grandmother, at my insistence I'm sure, driving it to the end of our street and back. She was...

P&G Both quotes are attributed to P&G employees. There is no discussion of the impact of synthetic vs natural fibers, and increased use of fabric softeners and dryer sheets is the proposed solution. I wonder who funded the study? Sarah

Fun thread, y'all I currently own four sewing machines but have rarely done things more complicated than curtains, pillows and mending. My first, a Singer 328 was given to me by my grandfather for my eleventh Christmas. He had dreams of me sewing my entire wardrobe, but, when I wore the first...

Amazing! Thanks, Bill! This could be the solution to the old dishwasher debate we have in our house. Here are some pictures for reference if the YouTube video is ever taken down. A homeowner put the front of a vintage (nonworking) KitchenAid dishwasher on a new, panel ready machine. Sarah

Hi folks, Long ago in a land far away, I saw a vintage wall fridge that was not made by GE for sale. I lost the picture and can't remember the manufacturer. Help. Pictures would be fabulous! Sarah

Already sold Mine is a later model. This one is really cute. Do any of y'all know an easy way to copy photos from other websites and paste them here. I try drag & drop and get a green plus sign, but the picture never shows up. The same goes for copying an image and trying to paste it into the...

Thanks, Robert! I rarely post a repeat of something someone has already answered in a comment, but this time, I have to. Robert, No apology needed. Thank you for creating and maintaining this wonderful community and resource. You got it back up and running in record time. I would also like to...

Vintage all the way All of our sheets are vintage 100% cotton percale or muslin. I like my sheets a bit crisp and don’t want or need higher thread count. Sheets get their strength from long staple cotton, not high thread count. And what makes Egyptian cotton so great? I have no idea. Very...

Your new electrician… Tells you he’s never had a request for 5 220 services in one kitchen and wants to know where you got all the appliances

Poppy I love the poppy appliances, but the cabinets and floor need to lighten up.

Love! I'm generally a Mixmaster gal, but I love this model hand mixer, and Flame is my favorite color. Sarah

Gas vs Electric This seems to be one of the most contentious arguments here on AW. Let's please play nicely when discussing this? Gas vs electric has a lot to do with price, location and preference at this point. Sixty percent of the electricity in the US is still produced by burning fossil...

New renovation? Hi Harry, I am very sorry you had to go through a house fire and all of the awful things that come with it. Our home here in Tuscaloosa was in the path of the 2011 tornadoes. We only had moderate damage while the house next door and many in our neighborhood were completely...

drainboards I'm glad to hear that you like the Forbo floor. I'm thinking lino might be ok on the counters because I have a 6' double drainboard sink, and there won't be as much water spill over onto the counter... I'm still thinking about it. In my dream world, I'd have red solid surface...

Linoleum? Lawrence, If you have not already considered linoleum, it's definitely worth checking out. I really wanted to do genuine linoleum in my kitchen in the country. It's all natural, colored all the way through, durable and environmentally friendly. Ultimately, I chose to reuse the pine...

Hi Y'all, I"m curious. Did Corning make the glass for this cooktop? Sarah https://www.ebay.com/itm/224691291613?
