Yep I made the light thing. It's an old window that I bought for $2 at a building materials re-sale place (The Rebuilding Center in Portland). I frosted the back side of the glass with this spray-o...
Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

I love my Swiffer. I use a regular broom on my apartment as needed, but if I'm doing a really thorough cleaning (like before I have people over, or when I just feel like being extra clean) I follow...
Why not just paint anyway? That's what I do, and I've always gotten my full deposit back. My landlords have always either liked what I'd done once they saw it, or they'd planned to repaint after I ...

A few years ago I opened a kitchen cupboard and found it swarming with ants. I freaked out and dumped a bunch of cayenne pepper in there, and it actually worked pretty well. Now I'm seeing random a...
This isn't "green" at all but it's a pretty cheap home remedy. I work as a bartender and the sink behind the bar gets seriously clogged at least once a week. My manager is too cheap to hire a plumb...
That's me!
The phone doesn't work to make calls, but I can press a button on the side to buzz people through my building's front door. It's left over from when my building was a hotel (back i...
This is definitely one of my favorites so far. I really like the glowing loft, and the all-white. I think it would be even better if there was just one brightly colored thing, like if the sofa was ...
I've probably said it before, but I completely love your place! I still have your post in the Livejournal saucydwellings community saved and I look to it for inspiration all the time.

I have the Ikea Docksta and I like it. It's sturdy and everything. I haven't had any problems with it.

Not my favorite, but I do love the bathroom!
