It’s been almost 3 weeks and I *still* haven’t received the email with printables password. I clicked on the “Confirm Subscription” button within the message I received and… nothing! And no reply to the email I sent asking for assistance, either. So bummed!!
We have been postponing our garage sale because we would like to have the clothing size hangers for better sales potential.
Thank you for your hep with this!

Valerie says
Question: I like your vintage nursery rhyme idea in framing them. Did you just buy a nursery rhyme book with vintage pictures & cut them out and framed them or copied them from a site & printed them out? I want to make these for my granddaughter’s room. Love the idea..so cute!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Yep, Valerie, that’s exactly what I did. I scoured thrift stores and antique stores for cheap vintage nursery rhyme books and then just cut them out and framed them!

Thanks
julie says
Just discovered your blog today – love it! What a fabulous job you did on your kitchen makeover – both times!!. Would love to know what stain you used on your hardwood floors going from the natural oak to that beautiful ebony color. Thanks so much for sharing!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Hi Julie! We actually bought the hardwood floors in that dark shade – I’m not sure what the color is. I do know that Minwax has a couple of really great dark stains – Ebony, Jacobean and Espresso. Hope that helps!
Delilah says
Hi, We live in a very old wooden farm house – the original living-room floor is made up of rough 5″ planks. Have you any suggestions as how to oil this floor or methods of finishing such a floor? We have area rugs over it now. Also, the planks are not sandable due to too many old floor nails.
Thanks.
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Hi Delilah! Oh, this is tough one. Unfortunately, I’m not much help here. I used to live in an old farm house too, but we had hardwood floors in there that were able to be refinished. I’m sorry!
Barbara Coupe says
Hi, I have sent my email twice now and nothing has come back to verify. I feel so rejected! I love your information. I read how do paint laminated counter tops, followed all the directions(little paranoid so made sure I did everything correctly) and they came out beautiful. Except, each time I put another coat of poly on it another part will peel or if I use my nail I can scratch off paint. I am up to two coats but have to keep going back to fix the peeling. Any ideas how I fix or how I stop this from happening? And any idea why my accepting email is not coming back to me?
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Hi Barbara – I’m so sorry the email was giving you trouble. I haven’t heard of this issue before. How many coats of the black chalkboard paint did you give the counter? Did you remove the old laminate top and if so, were any of the spots shiny or slick when you removed it? How long are you waiting between coats of poly?
As far as the email, do you mean that you are trying to subscribe to the new post emails? If that is it, I should be able to confirm your subscription manually on my end.
kari says
First visit, and you made my DAY . The black walls in your son’s room will be PERFECT in my new master bedroom. I LOVE to paint but I have sleepless nights, NO SLEEP, making the color choices. I close on my new house this Tues, Valentines Day, and I know that u repaint but I wanted to ENJOY my home and see the treasures that have been living in storage far too long. Anywoo, what’s the finish of the black paint you used ? Thanks, Kari also a PROUD FREAK
Jenna says
So happy to have you around here, Kari! The finish of the black paint is satin. That is the sheen I paint almost every wall in my house. I use semi-gloss on trim! Enjoy your new home! So exciting!
Nancy says
I have a question about the NuCore flooring. My husband and I are thinking about putting it in our living room. I am wondering if our heavy furniture will wear dents into the flooring. I’ve seen other laminate after a few years with furniture marks. The salesman at Floor and Devor told us it was made from PVC material and it sounds sturdy but I thought the would ask you.
Jenna says
I haven’t noticed any dents from our furniture, Nancy.
Gloria says
I need to fix my painted beige kitchen cabinets that are peeling off please let me know how I do it to get the same color because the only the bottoms cabinets are peeling off thank you
Jenna says
Hi Gloria. You could probably take off one of the doors or drawers and take it to Home Depot or Lowe’s and have them color match it.
Lynn Morton says
I love your article on the NuCore flooring. I am having to replace my carpet in the front hall and 2 bedrooms due to my hot water heater rusting through. (It’s in the attic – something they like to do here in Houston!) I decided to look at Floor & Decor for replacement ideas and stumbled on to the NuCore. It’s been a year since you installed yours – have you seen any downsides to it?
Love your website – such great ideas! Keep up the great posting!
Jenna says
So far, it’s still doing good, Lynn! My husband is even wanting to put it in another area in our house!
Pamela B Colson says
I am looking for the best combination of paints for a heavy duty 4 ton shackel, or clevis. I want to paint it camafloge and it be able to retain the finish and be used..weird hu?
Donna Marie says
You really have it made, being able to stay in your house and remodel your new house! I live in a bi-level built in 1970 and the front door is never used–get that!?!?!? We only use the back door and it has a hall way so it is very disturbing as an entryway. We have four little bedrooms up so be glad you have what you do! Can’t shut the door to the half-bath because I’m claustrophobic! But, all in all I like our home. You learn to like what you have, and change what you can…
Sherry says
I just stripped 2 end tables and a coffe table and much to my surprise I found that most of it is constructed using poured and molded resin. I’m planning to use a good bonding primer but I’m not sure what type of paint to follow with. I will also be using a graining tool followed I think by a darker wax to give it a more real wood look. Any suggestions on the best paint to use? Thanks for any help you can send my way!……Sherry
Jenna says
Hi Sherry! If you use a good bonding primer, I would think you would be able to use a regular latex paint. Ask the paint guy at your local hardware store to confirm!
karlie says
We are planning to use NuCore on our plywood cabin floor in northern Wisconsin. The cabin is not heated when we are gone in the winter. Will it hold up? We were told at Mennards to put a quarter inch gap at the edges to allow for expansion and to start the room from the left. Any more advice you can give us would be greatly appreciated. We may have to install ourselves as our contractor is so busy.
Jenna says
Hi Karlie. My in-laws were actually considering putting NuCore down in their sunroom that they just added on, which is unheated and uncooled. They visited Floor and Decor and were told that the warranty is voided if the flooring is put in places where the temperature is not maintained. They said they thought it would probably hold up, but couldn’t guarantee it. I hope that helps.
Lotte says
Hi! I don’t normally subscribe to online blogs, in fact, this is the first, but your post on popcorn ceilings was just too good that I had to subscribe. I moved house 2 days ago and I’m using the neighbours wifi to get online. IT only works at the back of the garden so I’m testing my stamina (and ability not to freeze) in order to find your website and read more posts. I found you on Pinterest, and just wanted to say thank you for helping me out, because popcorn ceiling is really quite awful, and I can’t wait to get rid of it. Hopefully I’ll remember to put something down for floor coverage beforehand!
Jenna says
Hi Lotte!! Thanks so much for your comment!! You are too sweet! Hope I’ll be able to help you out with inspiration and ideas around the house!
Charlene says
Hi there,
I despererslt need help. I’m trying to pretty up an unfinished memory box for a wedding present for some dear friends of mine. I was hoping to stain it and then paint a silver stag head on top of the stain. I have no idea which paints and stains are the best to use….or what equipment I would need. I don’t want to mess this up. Please help. I would be eternally grateful!!
Jenna says
Hi Charlene! For the stain, I would recommend Minwax. That’s the brand I’ve always used and it’s never failed me. You shouldn’t need much at all and most home improvement stores have small cans of it available in their paint department. For the silver stag head, I would go with a craft acrylic paint, which you can buy at any craft store such as Hobby Lobby or Michael’s. Hope that helps!
SILVANA F WOOD says
We had a beautiful modern oak table( 32 years ago) with 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, the table looked rough, so I decided to painted, after at least 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of acrylic paint it’ still peels at the least touch! We are quarantined and was hoping to do something useful! how do I finish it so we can eat on it? Thank you, I like you easy relaxed style! Silvana
Annabelle says
I have gotten the conformation email but haven’t had the link for my freebies send through (it was the spell book cover and potion labels)wondering if you could send that through? thanks
