Before biting the bullet on that white linen sofa you've been swooning over for months, it might be wise to run some tests on it.

Accidents happen, but for those of us who like to decorate with white, they're a real problem. That's the lesson I learned after a late night left my upholstered bar stools spattered with red wine.

Worn floors do have a certain je ne sais quoi, but unless your décor is shabby chic or cottage-y, they can look a bit informal. A rich wood stain will really transform a room.

Hi CasaSugar, Last night I spilled clear nail polish on my boyfriend's Room & Board end table. I’m not exactly sure what it was, but I think it might have been solid maple, cherry, or walnut with a lacquer finish on it. Needless to say, he was not happy. Is there anything I can do about it?
