On a related note, I've sometimes wondered why kotatsus (http://www.jlifeinternational.com/furnishings/kotatsu/kotatsu_e.html) haven't gained popularity. Maybe it's because American adults don't l...

While I'm at it, I really like the rug that the original question referenced too. Does anyone know if that one's comfy? :)

I was just about to post about the same rug that megs189 recommended. I've been thinking about getting that rug (the Sakura Area Rug, otherwise known as "Safavieh "Soho" SOHO305B Area Rug" at Macy...

I love how the dog has followed the camera-person around! (the home is beautiful, too)

Yay DC! Like Sarah Lindsey, I'm looking forward to the craigslist finds and local sales. And local contractor recommendations! And just peeking into other nearby neighborhoods that I don't visit...

Would discretely cable-tying (i.e. http://www.buycableties.com/) the adjoining legs together work? Cable ties can get pretty tight, and if hidden up at ...

Just a thought .. I tried weaning myself off of paper towels, and it was pretty useless. For me, cold turkey was the only way to get it done. I still have moments of "THIS is why I need to have S...

I use my bread machine when I decide in the morning that I want fresh pizza dough ready for me when I get home from work that night, and when I want fresh and warm bread ready when I wake up in the...

Unless we're talking about cooking for a crowd, I just don't see what a grill pan would give me that my cheap little George Foreman grill doesn't. I'm sure for some people a grill pan is easier to...

I use the paper that I've shredded recently for padding boxes.

If I've currently got mildewed caulk, is there a tool for removing that as well? Or do I use the grout rake on the caulk?

I grew up not knowing that Spam is supposed to be gross, and now that I understand why people don't like it, I still love it :) Just can't think too much .. just eat and enjoy.

How about putting that graphic onto reusable shopping bags? Then it would be with us when we need it :)

I have a related question -- what to do with the leftover soil? And the same question for when repotting? Or at the end of the season when the basil dies? I live next to a park and...

gretchenalexis, could you share the name/location of the cleaners who offer discounts for bringing hangars back? And to contribute my own situation .. I have a pile of them which I loo...

I've got the Solis Maestro Plus, and I love it. It is extremely easy, and the grind is consistent. I only clean it once every 2-3 months (when I happen to remember, not because of any apparent ne...

Etsy is great :) I plan to put an inconspicuous hook into the vertical section and use it by the front door for keys, and maybe a small ceramic something on the base. The base of the one I purcha...

Sweet! I just ordered one from the Etsy store. Thank you for telling us the source!

Well, I checked in from the Google Reader (where I don't see comments) to make my point, and am happy to see so many others already have. Please don't paint that! And please tell us where you got...

I'm torn on this one. I love that it's a house tour in Arlington, but I have to agree that it's not a particularly interesting one. I'd love to see more Arlington house tours though!
