Love the green painted typing table next to the front door-- I have one that I painted shiny red and use as a bedside table, and I've gotten all sorts of compliments on it.

I hit my closest Target here in Asheville, NC at opening on Sunday, and found a half-stocked endcap of linens, including a few sets of dish towels, an apron, and one set of cloth napkins. I asked ...

Clueless in Asheville, NC, too. I walked in a 8AM on the dot, and they had nothing. I asked, and was told that they can't tell me anything about when things are scheduled to come in.

I always try to put fresh sheets on the bed and leave no dirty dishes or mess. During my most recent trip, in December, my neighbor had to come in and pump water from my stopped up and leaking rad...

Thanks, closertotheocean-- I'll give it a try!

closertotheocean-- any idea how that concoction works for front-loading washers? When I bought mine, high-efficiency liquid detergent was recommended-- do you think adding water to make a liquid a...

Wow! That first kitchen is one hot mess.

To this day I love stale cake, because my parents used to bring home a piece of cake for me from weddings and parties, and I got to eat it for breakfast the next morning.

I voted yes, but then, I have a 6 foot tall metal giraffe in my front yard... http://www.flickr.com/photos/abraca...

We had an ant problem when the spring rains started at our old house, and we found cayenne pepper to be an awesome repellent. I made a paste of it with a little water, then spread it along the edg...

I've been making the mac and cheese recipe from the back of the Mueller's macaroni box for years, and it is to die for. My kids have had mac and cheese from probably dozens of restaurants (some fa...

I love the AT-AT-- my husband's going to be so happy to come home and find his on display! Also, my 10 year old daughter wants to know where you got the squirrel girl painting.

"Meatload?!?" Sorry, my inner 12 year old is laughing her head off!

I chose Obama's, since its style is similar to my house (but probably much bigger than my 1700sf).

Perfect timing-- I was planning to attempt to make my first pillow this weekend. This will be a good reference! ARC-- that story made me throw up in my mouth a little. I'm glad you'r...

I've had my iron for so long, the steam function doesn't work-- it'd be great to win this!

Hmm... maybe it's not the same chair after all-- it wasn't particularly heavy to pick up, and it didn't look like a folding chair. I still might go back for it, although I have no idea what I'll d...

Can you tell me about the metal chairs pictured above? I saw one *today* just like them in pretty good shape at a local thrift shop for $5. I carried it around with me a few minutes before decidi...
