We didn't register for china this year simply because we don't have room for it. My husband is a student and we have no idea where we'll be in the next couple years. But once we've sort of settled ...

Hahaha--I agree island_monkey. I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan, but I've probably prepared a meat dish 5 or 6 times in the last 3 months.

We use these: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=14174&f=27184 They fulfill my need for a little more p...

Are you serving cancer-causing alcohol at your parties? Fatty or sugary foods? Do you serve more than one or two alcoholic beverages in an evening to a friend who is driving? If so, maybe can the s...

I don't think it's a virtue to be unable to relax if there's dust in a corner or an item out of place. But that said, I SO wish I had a little clean/neat freak in me. It takes an enor...

This room is super messy, but that doesn't make it dirty or filthy. I remember my days cramming my whole life into a tiny bedroom in a shared house. Didn't take much to get like this.

I think it just depends on the type of person you are. Clearly some people can't rest with work accoutrements in the room. But they don't bother me at all. Actually, I'm considering moving my work ...

These all make me so happy. Hooray for apples!

Yes, would it be so terrible for the AT bloggers to not pretend they all grew up in the same house?

Yes, I'm curious about the frames as well. I have a Black Apple print that would benefit from such framing.

In the 3 California cities I've lived in, I've only had AC in one of probably a dozen apartments. Need for job and sanity: cell, laptop, hs Internet, car, iPod. Really app...

$28? They don't even create the illusion of quality. I agree with tmoore--cute for a fridge or cube at 1/5 the price.

Mark Montano has a project in his Big-Ass Book Of Crafts that involves filling doll heads with plaster and painting them to look bronzed. I think it's the best idea ever--creepy paper weights for e...

My great-grandmother always called sofas "chesterfields." And she grew up in Oklahoma and then headed out to California. Her brothers had a furniture business up in Chico California, maybe that had...

I can't believe I'm mentioning this, but specific personal stories read very oddly when told in the "we" voice. It makes perfect sense for the site most of the time, but really? Everyone who blogs ...

The ottoman is meh, but the chair? Ugh. I wouldn't want to sit in it ever--it looks supremely uncomfortable. Plus ugly.

I don't know about calling most of these "new takes." Nesting dolls have been painted every which way as souvenirs for ages. But I do LOVE the measuring cups. Maybe every lady in my Russian family ...

I love the gin & titonics, though I don't have them yet. My husband and I were given false teeth ice cube trays for our wedding. He can't use them--they completely gross him out. But I think they'r...

Um, I have always used a blanket or throw on a regular basis. In all but hot weather. In my family lounge time = blanket or throw or large snuggly pillow on the lap. But while I don't ...

Orange oil is the best, non-toxic way to treat termite infestation. But I too am a renter and we didn't get to decide on the treatment when termites began swarming in our kitchen wind...
