I am so thankful we don't have Thanksgiving next week as some of you do! That would be just too much. I have yet to finish scrubbing both the full bath downstairs and the powder room ...

It's quite interesting to find out what people do! My kitchen has the one overhead. Ditto my hallways. I'd dearly love a low wattage lamp instead--but alas, no outlets.

A lighting overhaul? The kitchen. Our cabinets are original--as is our wiring. The cabinets were built only 14 inches above the countertops. I have to take a tape measure with me to bu...

I'm glad to see this, finally, even if it is still in progress! Don't forget to change the title.

Those are beautiful.

I emptied all the shelves in the living room and washed them. I have a nice little pile in the outbox, now. I cleared all the furniture out and washed the floor. I have some items to r...

Well, I certainly indulged in a bit of retail therapy tonight! Fortunately an entryway rug and a lampshade are going back. It was fun but frightening how much money I was able to spen...

What would you most like to buy for your home that would really improve it? New floor tiles in kitchen. Living room rug (to protect the deteriorating hardwood floor) ...

Our bathroom is too small for a vanity (the sink is on its original chrome legs) and so we have shelves over the toilet and a good sized medicine cabinet. Towel bars on the door help as do a ledge ...

The car, the computer and the High Speed Internet are the only true essentials for us--and that's one for the family--not per person!

Fuzzpedale: Some things need to be open and some things closed. Library books have to go in a cubby: otherwise, out of sight, out of mind. Winter gear, though, can go in a drawer. I won't forget my...

"We?" You may not be aiming for the princess look, but you certainly want to be royal.

I cannot put into words how wonderful it feels to know I have scrubbed every inch of wall, baseboard, shelving, cupboard and drawer front, in my kitchen. Oh--and the inside of two bottom cupboards ...

I have folded and succumbed to the magnetic spice jar trend. I'll get them up on the wall, hopefully today. (I just have to find an inexpensive bit of metal to mount to the wall to hold them.)

Thanks again, Harlie! Things in baskets on the shelves: and everything off the rack by the door. If you absolutely must, keep only one coat per person. It must be frustra...

Erin--If you want someone to see your pics, definitely link them in the post. That would be the best thing to do. I'm on to the cupboards today. Inside and out.

I'm looking for Harlie's photos and I'm not seeing them either in her blog or the flickr pool. Can someone help? I washed the wall: now it is on to the cabinets. Blech. I painted...

Well, I have fallen behind on cleaning the kitchen: it is time to prioritize and do what I can. Today I think I'll wash the west wall and tomorrow I'll clean out the cabinets--the bot...

Supermompu--way to go! That is terrific--esp. working with a five year old in tow. I am thinking more and more about not putting that shelf up.

Thank you Harlie!
