Home and Garden
Q: I bought a gardenia from Costco a month or so ago. It looks robust, with green, shiny leaves. I placed the pot in front of my house so it gets sunlight in the morning and shaded in the afternoon. I water it every day. When the buds get big but before they bloom, they wilt and fall off.

There’s little doubt that one of the most basic aspects of interior design must be flooring.

It’s almost here — a day that many home decor enthusiasts have longed for. The first Ikea store, with its stylized maze of shiny, polished room sets designed for magazine covers, opens May 18 at 6500 Ikea Way in the southwest valley.
Q: My kids have abused my dining room chairs for a long time. The fabric on the seats is stained and I would like to recover them. There is nothing fancy about the seats; they have some kind of foam as the stuffing. How do I go about this?
