In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Floor-to-ceiling length bookshelves may seem expensive, but you can replicate the effect without purchasing high-end custom furniture. Measure your wall. Instead of building one giant bookcase, purchase four identical smaller bookcases that will fit in that space. Place two side by side for the base, and stack the other two on top. Be sure to bolt all four bookcases to the wall for stability. An easy way to add a customized twist to an old bookcase is to wallpaper the back of the shelves. Find a wallpaper that matches your theme or color scheme. Cut the wallpaper to size of the backing of each shelf. Paste it on using wallpaper paste. Let it dry before you put items back on the shelves.  If you are using the bookcase to display decorative objects like vases or figurines, you might want to choose a solid color for the wallpaper, so that more attention is drawn to your collection. If you are just using the shelves for books, you can choose a bold pattern, such as chevron stripes, polka dots, or a floral design. This will make the shelves an accent piece in their own right. Small ceramic tiles are great for decorating the backsplash of kitchens or bathrooms, but decorated tiles are expensive. Plain white ceramic tiles, on the other hand, can be cheap. With a little time and effort, you can turn tiles into something stunning and extravagant.  Find a stencil of a design you like, such as a fleur-de-lis or a bird. Press the stencil down on the tile, and paint over the design. Let the tile dry, and you have an easy, beautiful tile. You can then adhere it to the wall using tile mastic. Good places for painted tile backsplashes include underneath cabinets or above a countertop. Do not paint the tiles on your floor or along your shower or bath. Too much water damage can ruin the paint. Fresh flowers are beautiful, but they can become costly. Instead, look for convincing fake flowers. Put together your own centerpiece, and arrange them in an inexpensive vase. You have an easy, reusable centerpiece.  Go for flowers that look as close to real as possible. You might even be able to find ones that also feel soft and natural. Your guests probably will not know the difference. You can swap out flowers for each season and event, reusing the same flowers every year. Friends probably will not notice, but it will make it seem as though you are constantly updating your centerpiece. Artificial flowers can easily become dusty. If so they do not look luxurious. Also, this can be problematic for allergy sufferers and asthmatics Vases are easy to find, and they can be relatively inexpensive. To help jazz up an empty vase, you can fill it with some small items. This will add a touch of character to your décor without costing a ton of money. Some things you can fill it with include:  Potpourri Shells Pieces of coral Marbles Buttons Sticks Wine corks Nice picture frames can be expensive, but you can manage a high quality look without paying a lot of money. Find inexpensive picture frames at a dollar store, craft store, or thrift store. Paint the frames with a color or design that pleases you.  Gold and silver paint are easy to find if you want a more distinguished shade. You can add words as you like such as “Sisters” or “Friends Forever.” This will make it seem personalized. Painting designs on your frames gives them a unique look. You can paint stripes, dots, or other easy geometric shapes.
Summary: Assemble your own built-in bookcases. Wallpaper the inside of your bookcase. Paint your own tile backsplash. Use fake flowers instead of real. Fill a vase to make a centerpiece. Repaint frames.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wash your silk sheets in lukewarm or cold water because silk does not do well with hot temperatures. The water should be 30° Celsius/85° Fahrenheit or lower. Do not wash your silk sheets with any other items (e.g. towels, clothing, etc.)  If you have hard water, add a spoonful of Borax to the water before you begin washing.  Hand washing silk is the safest method for cleaning your sheets and preserving the quality. Add about two teaspoons of detergent to the water before you put your sheets in. Gentle detergents such as Woolite or  Ivory Liquid are best for your sheets.Harsh detergents can weaken the silk fabric and cause it to tear.  If you do not have a gentle detergent, you can wash your sheets with baby shampoo or a gentle adult shampoo. There are also detergents that are formulated for washing silk available as well.  You can also ask the manufacturer or store where you purchased sheets to recommend a detergent for washing your sheets.  Never use bleach or detergents containing bleach to wash your sheets. Bleach will turn your sheets yellow. Once the detergent has been added to the water, put your sheets in the tub. Your sheets should be completely soaked with the water. Gently swish the sheets around in the tub. Avoid scrubbing and twisting the sheets as you wash. You do not want to damage them.  Only soak your sheets for a few minutes.  Your sheets will actually become softer after a few washes. Drain your tub and refill it with cool water.  Move your garment around in the water to remove the soap. Smell your sheets to make sure you have gotten all of the soap out. You may have to rinse your sheets a few times.  Add a few drops of distilled, white vinegar to remove soap residue Rinse your sheets again after you add the vinegar to remove the scent of the vinegar from your sheets.  You can also add a few drops of hair conditioner to make your sheets feel nice and silky. Gently squeeze out any excess water.  Avoid twisting or wringing out your sheets. Hanging your sheets to dry is best, but avoid drying them in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will damage the silk fiber and cause discoloration.  You can also roll your sheets in a towel to remove excess water. You may have to use multiple towels to get all the water out. If you are unable to hang dry your sheets, lay them flat on a clean towel or bed to dry. Do not hang your sheets on a wooden rack to dry. Dyes and finishes used on the wood can stain your sheets.
Summary: Fill your bathtub with water. Wash with a mild detergent. Put your sheets in the water. Rinse your sheets. Dry your sheets.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Brush the entire surface of your jacket. This will fluff up the nap, which improves the overall look of your suede while also loosening dirt or debris on the surface. Loosening up the fibers with the brush will also make removing embedded stains easier. If you’ve removed all the surface dirt, there may still be a stain on the suede. Rub the stain with the brush using slightly more pressure. Move the brush back and forth to try to dislodge the stain from the fibers. Don’t rub too hard. Suede is delicate. Brushing too hard can damage the nap. Suede protector will help keep your jacket clean and protect it from many surface stains, such as water and oil. However, suede protector won’t protect against heavy stains, like blood, ink, or mud. Suede protector helps against many stains acquired through everyday wear. You can buy suede protector online and in stores that specialize in suede and leather.
Summary:
Use a suede brush. Concentrate additional brushing on visibly dirty areas. Spray the jacket with suede protector.
