I found these poodle wallpapers at American Blinds Wallpaper & More and the Wallpaper Connection. I guess if you have a pink bathroom…and put up this wallpaper…then you might as well get a poodle…and name her Fifi.
Several readers have asked me how to install the stainless steel countertop edging from New York Metals. In this post, I’ll take you step-by-step through the process that we used to install the metal edging in my kitchen. I had my countertops laminated by an outfit recommended by by contractor. They made all the countertops [...]

Has anyone seen the poodle wallpaper with the poodles at the salon, with the old style hairdryers…. pink and gray paper… my grandmother had it in her bathroom and I’d like to find some for our bathroom perhaps…
