A "waxing" situation: If a burning candle drips melted wax all over your tabletop or your sofa, don't stress. Let it cool completely and chip off the excess wax with the edge of a credit card. Place a paper towel on top of the waxy mess and place a warm iron on top of the towel; it'll melt the wax and the towel will absorb it. Repeat until the mess is totally gone.

If you've moved, but still have an old book of maps from your former hometown, consider recycling it into useful placemats for the dining room table. Simply tear out pages and have them laminated at your local office supply store. Laminating will make them durable, waterproof, and they're the perfect size for a single place setting. Larger maps (or even blueprints of your house) can be laminated and transformed into oversized tablecloths for the table, too.
