If your tapered candle is too wide, you can use a candle 'sharpener', (similar to a large pencil sharpener), to narrow the base circumference. If the candle is too narrow, you could use tacky wax to steady and secure the candle in the candle stick holder.
Do you go thrift shopping every season for new items? If so, what do you do with all the unused stuff collected over the years? Donate? Store? Rotate pieces in and out? This is my dilemma. Thanks!
I shop at thrift stores throughout the year because I never know what I'll find. At this point, I'm pretty selective about what I bring home. I tend to hold on to things, but I switch items out seasonally, so every few months, I rotate items in my home. It helps old things feel new, so I don't feel the need to buy as much stuff. If I don't need an item anymore, I will resell, gift it to someone, donate it to a thrift store, or upcycle it. Thanks for watching, Sharon!
Try giving your copper teapot a good clean with Bar Keepers Friend in the cream liquid form. It is safe for all types of metals and I'm sure you would see it remove all the old deposits. It will not harm your copper teapot.
I too love it when I find pine scented candles at the thrift stores! The stains on your chair could be from the padding deteriorating. It happens when foam padding gets old or moisture from being in storage.
Our time is coming! So many pine scented candles will be at the thrift store in the next few months. 🙂 I didn’t think about the stuffing, that could be it. I was thinking of replacing the stuffing anyway. Thanks for the info!
Your apartment looks great! Have you tried some peroxide on that chair? I've found it to be a miracle cleaner on tough stains. Sometimes you'll have to apply it several times.
@@MegantheWild yes, I did it just a slight shade darker and followed a tutorial, you have to wet the material first otherwise the paint sits on top of the fabric, the water sucks it in. I did 2 coats and it looks great, no more stains ✨
If you decide to paint, buy a fabric paint medium. I’ve seen it done on another RUclips channel. Michael’s has it and probably Amazon. (I know you’re not close to a Hobby Lobby.) But if you try to clean, I’ve had success with Dawn Power Wash and baking soda. Oxi Clean for stains is great and there’s a product called Folex that says it’s for carpet, but works on furniture and upholstery. Good luck!

That’s smart, thank you. I just whittled my candle down with a knife like a little cave woman 😳
Try Clorox II or oxyclean. Let it sit and will probably need a couple of treatments. Lovely home.
I'll try Clorox II. I tried the oxy stick, but maybe I should leave it on longer. Thanks for the tips!
I’m looking at all the copper in your thrift store..wow. 😊
I LOVE the etched brass candlesticks. They're elegant and rustic at the same time.
Take your chair cushion to the local dry cleaners… they’d probably get it clean.
Museum Wax works great for securing thin candles into wide holders.
Thank you, I’ll look into that!
Try putting white vinegar in the kettle and let it sit and do its magic, then add water and boil. 9:21
Thanks for the tip! 😁

Okay, I’ll try that. Thank you!

Shout It Out spray or oxyclean! I like Shout It Out the most for stain removal !
Thank you!

Thanks, Mary, I appreciate your compliment. ☺️ I’ll try the peroxide tip, thank you so much!
I have great luck with peroxide as well. I do peroxide, dawn dish soap and sprinkle with baking soda and scrub with an old toothbrush, reapply.
@@susanholding2809 Good to know, thank you, Susan. 🙂
I had to paint the upholstery on my cream chair as the stains just would not budge, it’s worked well
I was considering painting the chair, but I’m worried that the stains will come through and look darker. Did the paint cover the stains completely?

@@meeshelle1397 That's encouraging. I may try that. Thank you!
