Round-shaped mosque carpet and Ottoman-lined carpet are both well-known models. The round-shaped carpet is usually used by large mosques.
A prayer mat or prayer rug is a flat piece of cloth, not a plush carpet, used most often by Muslims and some Christians for daily prayer. The mat has a closed weave design that catches the sweat from one's forehead as he or she prays.
Status of the fireplacing tiling job. All that's left is cutting some tiles for the top under the mantle (2 1/8 inch high) and the two sides (I'll try my hand at beveling), then grouting in a fawn-sand color.
The blue tape there serves no actual purpose.

My lovely assistant the carpet-beast demonstrates that the vinyl flooring in my diningroom is fugly. He should know, he is the closest to it and spends the most time on it.
I had thought about taking this all out, but it doesn't come up so easily. The glue may not have stuck on the floor under the oven and has curled up around the edges of the room, but it's pretty intact everywhere else. So fine, I'm leaving it, Marmoleum is a floating floor anyway.
This picture is also for the person who pointed out I've been aiming the camera in the other direction, at the counter and kitchen. Okay, here's the accent wall and nothing else!
It was a race against the setting sun to get OSB cut and installed. We made it with a few minutes to spare.
State of the closet. The new switches are in place, and the trim, so the power's back on. Some old textured drywall has been salvaged and put in place. The lefthand shelves will be raised, so the carpet is torn out over there.
Between the radiator and the shower. Before I cleaned. With a spoon (sadly, not kidding about that.)
Photos of our original basement floor before painting. At this point, the floor has been thoroughly vacuumed, scrubbed with TSP and mopped.
Our living room has/had white walls, white ceiling, white trim and white curtains. Blah city! My husband made home improvements to the house about 10 years ago before he met me and so everything was white. Our house is old and has big rooms with high ceilings so the white really doesn't work! We finally started painting!! I'm so excited!!!! I picked a dark brown for an accent wall and I'm a little worried, but I think once I get some new pictures up it'll be okay.
A hammer and chisel, a grout saw, and an oscillating cutter tool make short work of getting the four pieces of tile and related grout off the corners of the sill and removing the trim piece underneath. This shows one piece of cement backer board (left over from all the other tile work in 2008) affixed to the wall; after the picture was taken pieces for the right and under the sill (1⅜" x 35") were cut and attached. I have enough scrap left that I can do the three inner surfaces of the window, but the 10" x 40" for the top will require a visit to yonder home improvement store -- which hopefully will have a piece that size in its As Is bin because I'm frugal.
Also, yes, the pieces of backer board were not cut entirely square (there be overlaps and gaps) but chances the sides of the window aren't square either (Crackheads™ had them windows replaced by the lowest bidder) but the tile will hide everything and a Mouse© palm sander has been run over the edges of the backerboard so they're flush to the frame. Always fun, running a sander with one hand and holding a Shop-Vac© hose with the other to cut down on the dusty mess.
The next chapter will have all cement backerboard pieces in place... and who knows what else.
Rugs to decorate your house and other places with elegance. They will never fail to compliment any type of decoration you have. You can hide area rugs inside the bedrooms or inside the living rooms.
Roller Blinds are not the only blinds that you can use for your windows. Indeed, there are now different types of blinds that are available in different colours as well. Therefore, if you have the great idea to change your blinds but you have limited amount of money.
As promised here is the completed grouting of the backsplash. Now everything needs to be sealed to make it all waterproof, then I can install the sink.
One of the most popular window treatments in Dubai is wooden Venetian blinds. These blinds are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use and will provide the privacy you need and the energy savings you want.
Waiting for better pictures this spring... but here's a built-in bench with storage in a wall around the edge of a patio...
Okay, great fans, time for a kitchen renovation update. I've cleaned out the pantry (took out shelves, took out the 2x4's that held the shelves up, cleaned in the newly-liberated closet that holds the water heater, bought a shelving system at The Container Store, not posted any photos of that process) and now I'm stripping and sanding the door. Pretty new hinges coming when I get around to it, I'm compiling the next Lowe's shopping list.
But you look at the above image, taken after I'd sanded both solid sides of the door, and say, "But Mushy, you sleek and sexy handymushroom you! That door has dozens of slats that are painted in latex on one side of the door, and are kinda grubby on the other side from years of dust! What is your next cunning manoeuver?" (If you didn't say it when you arrived at this paragraph, follow the script above immediately. "But Mushy..." I'll wait. Good, good.) Glad you asked. Uh, I don't know, I'm figuring that I'll put on the special Mouse™ attachment that will let me get into the crevices -- hey, darkhairedgirl, what were you saying about how anything can be an innuendo? -- to see how much paint I can get off the front (I know there will be chunks, due to the spraying of stripper around the edges) and dirt can be dislodged from the back. Then the whole sh'bang will be painted the same "grey ashar" as the cabinets, regardless of whether there's still paint on the slats or not.
It's not a crackheaded fix, it's working with the flaws of the materials available and obscuring/repairing previous fails.... and unlike the previous owners did, both sides of the door and the slats will be painted. I feel a little slackerish that I didn't complete this on Tuesday (or start on Monday) but as you can guess, I took one look at this when I got it out in the driveway and thought "meh, inconvenient detail work".

In preparation of the new siding being installed a dumpster was dropped off. For some reason the driver decided to place it in front of our garage blocking us from getting in or out. Ugh
Once upon time, in a quiet village, stood a small bungalow, which suffered from neglect because its owners didn't have any money to maintain it properly. A sign "for sale" had been standing in the front garden for a very long time, but nobody was interested since the bungalow was of very modern design, which was a sharp contrast to the rest of the historic village. Day after day the wood rotted away and nature slowly took over the garden, until only a complete make-over could help the bungalow to survive...
