Houzz is the new way to design your home.
334 Illinois Upholstery Professionals and Suppliers
Although the work isn't always obvious, a good upholsterer can help to give your Illinois home a polished appearance — and help you save money in the process. He or she can rehabilitate a worn or outdated chair, sofa, ottoman or other piece, which often costs less than buying a new one. If you have a one-of-a-kind piece that can't be replaced, an upholsterer can extend its life with new fabric. Upholsterers also can fashion unique trims, flourishes and other fabric details to personalize your furniture. You can find more upholstery in Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, Naperville and Joliet. More

In the past seven months of the Republican presidential campaign, there have been more than a dozen debates and countless polls. Nearly every candidate has enjoyed the spotlight as a front-runner. But Tuesday, the nominating process kicks off in earnest as Iowans gather in schools, churches and neighbors' homes to vote. Having covered caucus campaigns since 1976 for the Des Moines Register, I'd like to clear up some misconceptions about Iowa voters and the state's role in the race for the White House.
1. Iowa voters don't represent the United States.
Americans like to deal in stereotypes. But not all New Yorkers are rude, not all San Franciscans are gay, and not all Iowans are farmers. Of Iowa's 3 million people, about 90,000 are farmers, and of those, 48,737 list farming as a principal occupation. Iowa's manufacturing and financial services industries contribute far more to the gross state product than does farming. So media caricatures of snaggle-toothed hicks from an "American Gothic" painting don't fit.

More Auto-Tuned Science Singing: 'Our Place In The Cosmos', Or, 'The Middle Of Nowhere'
In the third installment of the Symphony of Science series comes 'Our Place In The Cosmos', a quartet of interplanetary song by Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Michio Kaku and Robert Jastrow. This is definitely the "Barry White" song of the series so far, and there is no doubt in my mind you could make out with a legally blind woman to it. Also, do you think it's just a coincidence the video is 4:20 long OR IS THE UNIVERSE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING? Pack the bong, STAT. I'm coming, God!

Thanks to Jonathan and Kelly C., who once sang into a telescope thinking it was a giant mic.
This is the second song/video in the Symphony of Science series, a project designed by John Boswell to spit scientific knowledge in an auto-tuned musical format. The first chart topper was 'A Glorious Dawn' with Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. Now Carl is back with backup sin... / Continue →

For those counting and not just staring at the clock waiting for the weekend to arrive, this is the eighth (8th) installment in the autotuned Symphony of Science series. It deals with the beginnings of the universe, which, from the information I've gathered from that picture, ... / Continue →

There was so much to do today!
Clean up house
Find a dress
Find some shoes for girls
Find shoes for me
Get food and drinks – Yay for Fresh and Easy!
Bake cupcakes – two batches!
Put big girls hair in hair band curls
Empty memory in flip camera
Still left to do, that should have been done today but am going to bed and waking up early instead:
Clean up kitchen
Root touch up
Make frosting – was going to do two flavors… probably just vanilla now
Frost cupcakes
Prepare food items ahead of time
Plus what also has to be done in the morning:
- Warm up, cook, and place out food.
Wash and place glasses & dishes out. (paper plates may have to do)
Get ready.
Freak out a few times – probably.
To be continued…
In the meantime, here's a kissy face pic
