these pieces of quilt or cloth are usually about 3-4 feet wide and are as long as the width of the bed. I assume they are meant for decorative purposes only and I would like to know what they are called so that I can buy one as a decorative accent for my bed. Thanks!!

I was advised to apply decorative oil directly to my body after showering, but it looks just like bath oil that you pour into the bath water? How to use decorative oil exactly?

I have an old dresser, probably from the 30's, that I want to do some decorative painting on. I'm planning to use regular acrylic paints. Do I need to sand the spots I'll be painting and prime them in any way, or can I just paint directly over the old stain and varnish? What kind of sealer should I use on the whole piece when I'm done? I'd like to avoid stripping the whole piece, I like the color and the way it looks, I just want to add to it.

My mother had some decorative stones a friend gave her for a gift last year and they crumbled to bits of nothing this coming spring. THe material these stones obviouly could not stand the cold weather we get here in the Midwest. I want to give my mother some new decorative stones for the garden but I want to make sure they don't dissenegrate like the previous stones. The stones will stay outside all year, every year. We have very cold winters here and very hot summers so the decorative stones need to withstand both weather conditions and stay in one piece. What kind of rock do I need to look for that will be sturdy like this? Where are good places to shop for such stones? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you. By the way, I live in Nebraska for those who want to know what part of the midwest I am located.
