Maya for Games: Modeling and Texturing Techniques with Maya and Mudboxby Michael Ingrassia
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Well-known Maya professional, Michael Ingrassia, takes readers through his unique style of modeling: "Image Based Modeling" where efficient, realistic models can be created very quickly. Ingrassia's techniques allow modelers to create exact replicas of their concept characters or objects. The techniques presented are very efficient and allow game modelers to quickly build out stand alone props to populate environments and game levels.
Presented are tried and true techniques that the author has used successfully in game production for the past 10 years. Most, if not all 3D books, focus on basic "box" modeling techniques, which are the basis for proper 3D modeling but not the complete solution. In the author's experience, students who have learned through the Image Based Modeling brand, have quickly excelled into effective modelers.
One of the hardest things for any modeler to do is match their model EXACTLY to the concept art or photos they are provided. The insider tips in this book walk artists through this process. Artists begin with basic modeling and advance to a creating a complete scene and set design/game level. Rather than including sporadic models with zero association from to one another, each model in the book becomes an integral part of an overall theme realistic in game development today.
The accompanying DVD includes 8 exclusive video tutorials on advanced Maya techniques as bonus tracks for artists providing invaluable modeling, rigging and texturing samples. Also, an in-depth video on assembling a "Killer Demo Reel" showing simple but effective video editing techniques used by the author so that artists can learn how to get their work seen. The book not only teaches effective methodology, but provides the user with impressive content for producing effective demo reels and portfolios. Pros and cons of demo reel, website and artist representation are given, along with insights into the expectations of game studios today. The video tutorials show users the finished product, and then run through the process of step by step creation of that particular technique.
--Author Ingrassia is a veteran artist and instructor (Senior Artist on several XBox game projects; and Senior Maya Instructor for Escape Studios in London, considered the top training academy in Europe; with game credits including Shadowrun (2007), Azurik: Rise of Perathia (2001), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Electronic Arts, Inc.) He provides insider secrets, tips, and tricks so that artists can learn a wide variety of cutting-edge modeling and texturing techniques.
--The latest Next-Gen modeling techniques combined with "tried and true" processes provide a leg up for artists new to game work so that they can "hit the ground running" with professional results. + DVD with bonus videos on advanced modeling techniques.
--Game Industry professionals speak about their experiences and advice providing artists with candid, unique insights into the game industry (how they broke in, and how they stayed in).
--Coverage of Autodesk's newly acquired MUDBOX software, so that artists can learn quick and effective sculpting techniques to make use of this exciting and powerful tool that can add a professional look to their models. (Ingrassia has been working with Mudbox for years - he recently gave a lecture on the tool at an animation festival in Prague. His expertise will come through in the book.)

New Poll: Are 5 iPod touch apps worth $20?
After reading the many comments we have received since Apple's announcement that it would sell a set of five iPod touch applications for $20, we wanted to poll our readership on an important question: are Apple's Mail, Notes, Stocks, Weather, and Maps applications worth the asking price?
When answering the poll question, found on the left hand column of the main iLounge.com homepage, bear in mind that the price could have been less or zero, could have been more, and could have been split so that individual features were sold at different prices. Since this is the first time that Apple has tried to charge users for iPod programs—other than games—and the results of your purchases will likely influence the company's future iPhone and iPod application sales plans, we'd really like to know what you think. Answer the poll today!

Senior Member
I cant seem to do decent damage with her, I tried all ad runes thats **** and armor pen dosen't make a difference. whats the trick o.O?
Riven is like this, Either your pro with her or not, she takes tons of practice to get good with from what I see. no clue directly cause I don't play her. but every Riven player I see is either beyond pro quality, or just garbage. You can't be decent with her. its one way or the other.
Sexual Healing
It's like mini sheen procs all the time.
Also, with early kills comes building more dmg and some sustain items.
Autoattack between abilities, Riven has some of the highest damage early in the game.
Her damage like most bruisers does fall off late game.
Riven's abilities charge her blade, causing her to do 5 / 7 / 9 / 11 / 13 / 15 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) bonus physical damage on her next autoattack. Riven can store up to 3 charges, and will only expend one at a time.
1) With Riven you have to attack between abilities to utilize the passive.
2) You have to use mobility and timing/spacing of skills to ensure you get as many auto attacks as you can. For example, use your 3rd Q to knockback the enemy away from the direction he's running to. The extra distance he has to travel to get to safety allows you to get an extra auto attack in that you normally would not have. Use that extra stun the moment they recover from the knockback. Use that dash to get an extra hit in.
3) Activate your ult before you go wailing on somebody. If you activate it at the end of a skirmish for the whole purpose of using the aoe nuke, you're missing the entire point.
4) Items. You want to maximize Riven's AD and her survivability. 2 dorans blades, merc treads or ninja tabi, a bloodthirster, and a guardian angel.
In summary: stick with full ad runes, go 21 into offensive tree making sure to pick up any AD benefits, get flash ignite. Learn how to position with her and do not spam Q nervously without a clue. Play Tekken, go into practice mode and try to figure out the easiest and most damaging juggle combo you can do.
As an extreme Riven main (350+ games with her, carry every single one ;D), it's litteraly just practice. She's not about damage, she's about 'pure' kiting. You don't just pick her up, you become the Riven.
Junior Member
When it comes to dealing "decent damage" as Riven I think her maneuverability in engagements is important. As Foxichu said, "She's about 'Pure" Kiting"
Passive- Charges Blade( allows increased damage for basic attacks 3x)
Q - 3x blade combo
W- Stun
E- Short dash (Shield)
R- Forward AOE
Whenever I play her I grab the usually Boots and 3 pots but start with W, opposed to the many other Riven players who I have seen go Q first. At level 2 I get E so as to allow my W a bit more range ( Shield Dash, Stun, Melee Hit) (Repeat). Level 3 i get Q so as to allow maximum damage potential (Shield Dash, Stun, Melee Hit, QQQ) Of course you can combo it and change it how ever you way you like.
After Level 6 you should do as R0ACH said and activate ulti before you begin smashing an opponent(s).
This further increases your damage and allows for your ulti's second gear to do amazing( by my standards) damage.
I build her tanky AD and for runes I get Cool Down Reduction (as well the standard runes needed for AD champs) because the faster you can get her skills down the better.

PathCentral, Inc. Key Developments
PathCentral announced the appointment of pathologist David Frishberg, M.D., as Chief Medical Advisor for PathCentral and its Professional Network. Dr. Frishberg, also serves as Vice Chair and Director of Anatomic Pathology for the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, is a highly regarded pathology field expert, category thought leader, and proponent of digital pathology consultation.
PathCentral, Inc. introduced AP Anywhere, its bundled Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Information System (APLIS) technology offering. AP Anywhere is a web-based anatomic pathology LIS technology solution that integrates all of the critical components of a pathologist's day-to-day operation, including test ordering, laboratory workflow management, transcription, reporting, billing, and financial management within one single, easy-to-use electronic platform. AP Anywhere provides PathCentral's pathology clients with the tools they need to increase revenues, improve operating efficiencies, ensure patient safety, and become highly competitive in their local markets. The system is designed to help users to spend more time signing out cases and less time dealing with operational issues, enabling them to focus on profit generation, while lowering expenses. AP Anywhere Core Offerings: PathCentral's AP Anywhere platform consists of a suite of advanced features: Improved Workflow PathCentral's AP Anywhere APLIS software seamlessly integrates all of the critical components of a pathology practice's day-to-day operations, tying together workflow steps that are more typically managed as functional silos. Increased Connectivity As the healthcare sector taps increasingly sophisticated technology tools and protocols, pathologists are being challenged to adopt innovative technology solutions to manage and share information in an organized and coordinated manner. PathCentral's AP Anywhere features the very latest in healthcare IT, including an open web service layer, which enables the system to easily and seamlessly connect with hospitals, doctors' offices, billing software, cancer registries, and a wide variety of laboratory instrumentation. Scalability AP Anywhere is built on proven technology, used successfully in the field for more than 13 years by large, high-volume commercial reference laboratories. Portability With traditional on-premises software solutions, pathologists must be connected to their APLIS either through their facility's internal network, or via an expensive and site-specific virtual private network (VPN) connection. HIPAA-Compliant, Secure Computing The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates that all healthcare data remain private and secure. PathCentral's AP Anywhere is automated, auditable, and highly secure, enabling all users to remain in full compliance with these regulations at all times.

Customers simply pay an affordable monthly subscription fee to receive unlimited access to a enterprise pathology system, along with 24/7/365 service, support and maintenance. Pathology Network Integration AP Anywhere offers an integrated digital pathology solution for use by pathology consultants on PathCentral's recently launched web-based online network.

I first read Marquez's 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', when I was fourteen. The heavy and dense storytelling was probably something that got my attention. Thick thick descriptions of swamy Macondo amidst the burdensome green of the Columbian amazon, with tales of futuristic ice and clucky magnets somewhat transformed it into a fanstasy tale of some sort. 224 more words

Eastry Poor Law Union, KentEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
A parish workhouse at Mill Lane is known to have existed from the eighteenth century Eastry formed a Gilbert Union under the 1782 Act of Parliament and the parish workhouse was not replaced until 1835
Eastry Poor Law Union was formed on 27 April 1835 and the Union workhouse was bult in 1835/1836 adjacent to the parish workhouse at Mill Lane. It was planned to accommodate 500 people.
Upon abolition of the Union the site became Eastry hospital for people with learning difficulties. The site was recently sold for redevelopment as residential housing. ( see image)

College atheist group plans massive anti-Mother Teresa demonstration Comments
A Dartmouth College atheist group is planning an event aimed at denouncing and vilifying the work of the late Mother Teresa. The Atheists Humanists Agnostics club sent out an e-mail announcing the program next week. The group promises a "full-out romp against why one of the most beloved people of the century, Mother Teresa, is as Hitchens put it . 'a lying, thieving Albanian dwarf.'" Continue Reading

if these students are such staunch atheists why are they even concerned about what a religious nun and saint completed and accomplished in the name of Christ. I thought atheists didn't concern themselves with God. They seem awful admamant about denouncing this holy woman. Atheists are just to scared to beleive the concept of Christian love, they can't wrap their minds around it.
Like some have voiced here, what have they done to help ease the pain and burden of the poor and sick. Take some time off an go to India, for that matter go to our innercities, see first hand how your nonaction to help is really helping.

Saul the anti-Christian became Paul the Saint, Martyr and evangelist of the Christian faith.
The good Lord knows the work Mother Teresa did here in India, picking up lepers from the gutter, and her legacy is an Order which is loved and respected all over India by millions of people who do not even share our faith.
I'm positive that there will be many among this group who are doubting inwardly the conviction of their allegations and among these, the Lord will work a miracle and convert them from atheists to believers.
All through history, the more the attempted threats to Christianity and the persons we revere, the stronger we have grown and spread. I view this as an opportunity which will open the eyes and I look forward to hearing about what happens at this event and more importantly, what happens after that.

In fairness the Atheists Humanists Agnostics club name says it all ... Atheists do not believe in God; humanists work "for the betterment of all of society and the world in which we live" [http://www.americanhumanist.org/AHA] and agnostics are for the lay man... still deciding, so the name AHA club is a direct contradiction of itself.
As for their little rally, God loves even them. Mother Teresa worked for the dignity of humanity, and I challenge any human organisation [humanist or of creed] to denounce the work she engaged in, irrespective of her reasons and personal motivations.
Let us ask, what would Mother Tweresa say to these people? Her response ought to be ours.
2 years ago
Those confessions she made I find really profound. She has become a beacon of this world that she herself is deprived of that light. Yet she did stop doing her work, nor turned away from her calling despite her suffering. This kind of mental and spiritual anguish is not for the faint-hearted. I believe she is a saint for enduring this emptiness for us all.
2 years ago
These students are ill-informed and, for this reason alone, they should not be allowed to demonstrate. Mother Teresa became a non-believer. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1655720,00.html

Our job is not to judge....that is God's job! Our job is just to pray for these young people that they will find Christ's love for all of us!

Its so sad to see people who know nothing about Mother say so many hurtful things about her. And who's Christopher Hitchens anyway to malign Mother so badly? I am from India and I have personally met Mother in her Calcutta convent as well as in other places. She exuded such warmth, such love and such peace just by seeing her! She's truly a saint. And we have seen and keep seeing the work she did and continue to do so through her missionaries. What we keep seeing is amazing. Equally amazing however is to note the comments by people who have absolutely no knowledge about Mother and the missionaries of charity, who hold biased attitude towards her. There might have been some elements among the community who do not live up to the ideals of the Order, but that does mean we can brand Mother and her missionaries as liars and thieves. That's so very unkind and cruel. Whatever that so called Ivy league group tries to do, the reality of Mother looms much larger than they ever imagine!! The poor and the marginalized will always have hope and dignity as long as there are people like Mother and her missionaries around. God bless everyone!!!

"There is more insight in these pages than in many longer works."
—The Progressive
This volume also includes "The...
This volume also includes "The Tattooed Man," Kohl's autobiographical essay about "hopemongering," which Kohl finds essential for all effective teaching in these difficult times.
Not-learning, hopemongering, and creative maladjustment are on my mind these days. Not-learning is the conscious decision no to learn something that you could learn.It consists, for example, of refusing to learn how to cheat on your axes cook crack cocaine, or yield to community pressure to become racist or sexist—choosing not to learn something that you find morally offensive or personally noxious. Hopemongering is the affirmation of hope and the dream of a just and equitable future despite all the contrary evidence provided by experience. Creative maladjustment is the art of not becoming what other people want you to be and learning, in difficult times, to affirm yourself while at the same time remaining caring and compassionate.
These three concepts presuppose a fundamental belief that we all have freedom of choice and free will, and that each of us is responsible for the kind of person he becomes and for the way he treats others. Not-learning, hopemongering, and creative maladjustment are the guiding principles of my teaching and my personal life—principles sometimes difficult to maintain, but nevertheless persistent and insistent in their demands on everyday life.
The essays in this book are reflections on the complexity of holding to one's dreams. I Won't Learn from You was written a few years ago, but I have been thinking about some of the stories and ideas in it for over twenty years. The ideas in it are rooted in my childhood and my teaching. There have been times when I've been unable to speak about what I've experienced, when events have overwhelmed my ability to understand or communicate them. The story of Akmir, which I've tried to tell in the title essay, has troubled me for years, and I probably would not have written it if other youngsters I know these days had not been living through the same pain Akmir experienced in his short life.
"The Tattooed Man" was equally difficult for me to write because it had to do with why I became a public school teacher and why I continue to teach and care about public schools after seeing so many public schools that don't work. Writing it took me back to my childhood dreams and fantasies, and to my own experiences as a student in the New York City public schools. The essay is not just about schools. It is as much about how one comes back home to serve the community after having left how childhood shapes vocation, and how moral values become everyday principles. It is the most personal writing I have ever done.
The essays on equity and political correctness are part of my ongoing attempt to clarify the way we talk about children and learning and oppose stigmatization of all kinds. They are attempts to engage people in the continuing struggle for social and economic justice and to place it in the context of teaching and learning.
The final essay "Creative Maladjustment," is about the need to remain within public education while trying to transform it. It is an attempt to show, through stories, the ways i which positive changes can be made within systems that seem unmoveable and dysfunctional.
All of these essays are extended stories, teaching and learning tales. They provide approximations o theories and expositions of ideas based on my experiences and those of people I've been privileged to work with or work for. Taken together they proclaim the abiding importance of teaching hope, resisting arbitrary authority, and taking control of one's own learning. They are my way of sharing the problems and rewards of trying to do decent work in a too-often indecent society and of affirming the importance of all our stories.

Turning Side Tables Into Benches At The End Of The Bed
Here's a tale I've been dying to tell for a while, but now that we actually got it done (this has been done in my head for over a year), we can spill the beans. Because apparently doing something in your mind does not a blog post make. Ha. So without further ado, here's how we took two 5-year-old side tables from Target (that we hadn't used since we lived in our first house) and turned them into much needed padded ottomans at the foot of our bed (since Burger needs a little help getting up into our extra tall bed, they're like our version of doggy steps).
First we placed the side tables in front of the bed to see if we liked them there.
Sold! The color is great since they tie into the hand-me-down dresser that we got from John's parents. And we're always suckers for an x-based anything, so we were off to the races. Of course they didn't feel quite as integrated with the rug as they could, but we thought a thick charcoal fabric on the top of them (along with some nice cushy foam) could help them tie in a lot better (scroll up to check out the first pic to see how much that gray cushion seems to help).
But on with how we did it. First we used a flat cutting attachment from our Dremel Multi-Max to cut off the top of the table (freeing it from the x-based legs). Sounds crazy, right? But since we wanted to upholster the tabletops – to take them from side tables to benches – and it didn't pop off with the removal of some screws (it was attached with nails and some glue), using the Dremel to get them separated was our best move. Yes, we might have been singing "Keep 'Em Separated" during this phase.
Next I used 1″ foam from JoAnn to create cushions for the top of each ottoman (a 50% off coupon scored us enough to do both tables for just $9). I cut it to the exact size of each top by tracing it with a sharpie and then just cut along that line with a regular old scissors.
Then I used some spray adhesive that we had in my craft drawer to spray the back of each foam square (I did it outside since the residue is super sticky if it settles onto your floor) and then brought them inside and stuck each of them to the table tops.
We only needed one yard of $15 fabric that we snagged at U-Fab to cover those babies (it's sort of a dark charcoal corduroy). So I cut squares of it that were about 4″ wider than the tabletop on all sides (to give me enough fabric to wrap around the foam & wood sides and staple it in place around the back).
I like to pull it all tight and staple it just a few times (ex: 3) on each edge of the back of the table (see above). Then I flip it over to make sure it's tight enough (and nice and centered, since there are small lines in this fabric) before going crazy and adding the rest of the staples to hold everything in place, like you see below:
The corners are always a little tricky, but I just folded the fabric into triangles, sort of like how you wrap the corners of a present. One little triangle overlaps another one and they form a nice clean edge.
Next we brought the legs down to the basement and sanded the edges to make sure there wasn't anything pointy going on (since we cut the top right off of them, they were a bit sharp from that step). Then we used a regular old brown magic marker to color the unstained parts that we sanded down, just so it would all blend again.
Then we pre-drilled some very small pilot holes at an angle that would ensure that a nail would go right through the legs and into the tabletop from underneath, securing everything for a strong result. We did two 2″ nails on each leg (8 nails total) just to be sure it was all nice and secure.
Boom, done. Total spent = less than $12 per ottoman. Total time spent = around two hours (mostly while watching NY Housewives, which might have slowed me down since I was pausing every few minutes to try to understand why everyone was fighting the. entire. episode).
They definitely work for our Burger-getting-into-bed objective, and the best thing is that the colors/materials are so diverse that if we ever wanted to scooch them around the house into some other room/spot we totally could (if we ever found a super long bench for a steal that we'd rather use at the foot of the bed someday, for example). Gotta love flexible pieces. Oh and just for fun here's what we had there before (an old leftover storage bench from our first house), which felt a lot heavier and clunkier:
Oh and as for our "construction" process, our tables are both super light, so our little foam + fabric + nails seem to have done the trick (Burger has hopped on and off a bunch of times along with the bean, who has
completely manhandled them provided some great quality control) but if yours are heavier it probably doesn't hurt to use small screws instead of nails to secure things (the way the legs of our x-based tables were configured we worried that screw-heads would be a lot more obvious/ugly, so we figured if small-headed nails worked that would be a more subtle choice for us).
Oh and I sat on each of them and they didn't explode into kindling or anything, haha, so they're decently strong, although I don't know that we'd actually use them for perching (we have a chair in the corner of the room for that), so as long as they hold Burger (and piles of dirty clothes if we're being real) we're happy.
What items of furniture have you guys been tweaking with fabric or paint or foam or hardware lately? Any other side-table-to-ottoman conversions going on? Does anyone else remember that awesome Victoria Hagan collection from Target from back in 2007? That's where we got these x-based babies (I think for around $50 a pop). Her collection was totally the best. Wish she'd come back for an encore presentation. Who wants to bang on the table and slow-chant "we want Hagan" with me? Anyone?

Looks fabulous. But I have a question…
If you guys didn't have a blog and have to post pictures of your bedroom…would you make your bed every day? I feel like it completes a room but I just can't get myself to do it every morning!
Ok those are great…. But what's better…. I just pre-ordered your book! Bwahaha!!! :)
Hi! I just noticed when reading this post that you do not have a bedskirt on your bed. I was just wondering, is it because you like it without one, or because you have not found one you like? I could not live without one because I store under the bed bags with shoes and purses under my bed!
Love the project. But I have to be honest, I don't think they work there. I remember reading somewhere that furniture with legs tends to look more "nervous." KWIM? Something about the balance, when you add these very leggy ottomans with the already very leggy bed and dresser, for me the room starts too feel too…ungrounded.
Love all the other tweaks you've made to the bedroom since moving in. It is really my favorite room in your house at this point, and inspires me to keep tweaking my own (much less photogenic) house.
I've heard the same thing about a mixture of furniture that is "leggy" vs. grounded. I love the project too but I am thinking you will be so happy once you find a longer bench. I sorta miss the black; it balanced the floor mirror to my untrained eye. We have a low long wooden slatted black bench at the foot of our cherry Shaker pencil post bed and absolutely love it. Did you consider black fabric for this project? But I must say I do love the room and although I was Team "Keep the Walls Teal" I like the gray better! :)
They're kinda cute, but do look ungrounded in the space, next to the bed. I think maybe a beefy-er piece of foam on top might have helped? Love your stuff, just missed a bit with this one.
Props to both you! What a great idea, I will definitely be sharing this with my sister-in-law who has been on the hunt for two small ottomans for the same purpose. Great work! You both never cease to inspire me! : )
Your bedroom looks so good!! :)
Love them! Looking for inspiration for re-covering our kitchen chairs and this may be what I needed to just DO IT!
I love your bedroom! I want to recreate it in my house head to toe. :)
I saw a click coming from here. Nice to meet you all!
Eggs and Ottomans in a bedroom. Could be a good combination;-)
We want Hagan, We Want Hagan, WE WANT HAGAN!!!!
I love working with what you have around the house. Just the other day I was wondering how Burger managed to hop in the bed when you guys are up and around the house. A disguised step is so much better looking than those unsightly pet steps you find in the airplane magazine!
These totally need naihead trim, even if in pewter to keep it subtle. They will look much less DIY. A little trim and they'd be perfect!
When we were renovating our living room, silly me set a can of oil-based paint on top of our coffee table which left a horrible ring through the top of the wood. Since it was thin, we decided to turn it into a bench! It now sits under the window in our new beautiful living room and I get so many compliments on it! Not bad for fixing a mistake, huh?
Love them! I converted a coffee table into an ottoman for my little condo.
http://livefromb5.blogspot.ca/2012/06/bye-bye-table-hello-ottoman.html I use it everyday!
I used that same fabric from JoAnn's to make curtains for my living room! :)
I just re-did my hand-me-down from my grandma kitchen table and chair set. they were a light wood with a beige fabric cushion on the chairs. i sanded and painted it all a glossy white and for the chair cushion i used the exact same fabric that you loved from ikea (in your last post about your stop at ikea). i had already bought the fabric in june but when i saw your post i was so excited! it looks amazing!
Great solution! I too have a pair of tables from the Victoria Hagan collection (first thing I bought when I graduated college, almost!). Mine also have an X design on the sides and a shelf about 2/3 up. We don't have a spot for them now but I love them so they're in storage :) I agree – come back to Target, Victoria Hagan!
Love it – so cheap and easy!
But you know what…a little nailhead trim and I bet they'd be even more spectacular. Think about it! :)
I'm too intimidated to "deconstruct" furniture like this. (Honestly, part of it is that I *am* klutzy, and not very strong, so the few times I've tried, I actually broke the item! I do better with non-power-tool jobs! ha!)
So…..Do you think these could have been "reupholstered" in a similar fashion without removing the top? "Faking" it somehow? I have some that are similar.
Can you do a post on how to clean upholstery? I built a big toy chest and upholsterd the whole thing with foam and fun outdoor fabric – it is gorgeous! The kids even take naps on top of it sometimes. But now the top is all grimey and dirty looking from kids climbing on it and the sides are still clean and new looking. What do I do? Pry the staples out and throw it in the wash? How do you clean it in place without the foam turning into a giant waterholding sponge?
I have great success cleaning up stains with distilled white vinegar…usually mix one part vinegar and two parts warm water. I dab area with a rag no rubbing. It cleaned up pink yogurt stains on my carpet along with yellow stains from puppy. Very mild & vinegar smell goes away in a day or so. Google it & you will find many uses listed.
A lot of people use it in kitchen to clean counters, etc…
Maybe check out this post for a way to clean light-colored fabric. http://551eastdesign.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-clean-microfiber-couch.html
Would you ever be concerned with people sitting on them? That'd be the one things 'd worry about, they look so awesomely ottoman/chair like that people might want to get comfy!
Ugh! I have a clunky thing at the end of our bed and I have been wanting to get something softer! Now I have great inspiration! Yay!
Love it! The whole room looks fantastic!
I have been wracking my brains trying to figure out how to turn an old hinged piano bench into a cushioned bench. You've turned on the lightbulb over my head! I've got a scrap of memory foam that will work, now that you've shown me the way with spray adhesive. Whenever I come up against a little conundrum like this, I need to ask, "What would John and Sherry do?"
Those look great! Love the repurposing.
