I've had a jute rug in my living room for years, from Ikea. I don't remember a smell, and I don't have a problem with staining or getting the cat hair out. I also don't mind the scratchiness on m...

HA HA! Oh, that took me back. My aunt and uncle had a circular sunken living room (with mirrored walls) in the '70s. Until the marijuana hydroponic system in the crawlspace caught on fire and bu...

Wow, that's a beautiful place to end up during a house swap!

Yikes! I just looked at the prices for the first time! I could decorate the whole room (house?) for the price of one of those sofas! In retrospect, the guy in the pic looks like Beac...

Wow. Even the books in the bookcase are coordinated to the room. I dunno. This kind of reminds me of thrift store chic. Which is fine - I'm all about thrift store chic! (Though not...

I had to answer that I recycle when it's convenient, because in my community, you can't recycle anything unless you have a car that will take you to the (far away) recycle depots! How ironic.

Anne, I love your take on the chemical-free beer! I hope it didn't seem like I was jumping on anyone over the chemical definition thing, though. I re-read my last post and it seemed k...

Not posting this to pursue semantics in the thread...but... ....everything is a "chemical." The air we breathe is a chemical substance. Water is a chemical substance. Just because s...

Hah! Everytime I see that video, I think, "That kitty's gonna rip the screen..." The photo is cute. My cats never do this, though, so I have no real life experience to share. I woul...

Oh, I agree with meltendo on the "pillow overload" thing! My own mom is the worst offender. Sitting in her chairs is an uncomfortable trial. I always end up chucking the excess pillows on the fl...

I am so making one of these.

This is kinda cool-looking, so I voted hot....but it's also a bit expensive for what it is. I've previously considered making something similar, using found branches, a long narrow pla...

OOH! I've thought about chalkboard painting the back of my apartment door many times. Hmm....that first pic has me thinking....chalkboard paint AND magnetic paint together....

My best friend has my spare keys, but she is a very busy mom/foster mom of six, and can't find the durn thing half the time! (Drives me crazy - I have to start pestering her to find it WEEKS befor...

I had a hideous, mottled, burnt orange carpet once, which I couldn't afford to do anything about, although I couldn't b/c it was a rental anyway. I wound up just pretending it wasn't there and dec...

I feel totally like I'm missing something.... ....but doesn't the dish soap emulsify anyway when you squirt it into sink as you're filling it up with water? Is my family t...

I answered that I've never heard of this...but I just remembered when I was younger, my gramma taught me to sprinkle a tiny bit of salt on apple slices (I grew up in B.C. orchard country), so I gue...

Whoops, sorry, I put that in the wrong thread! Please ignore me. It's very hot right now where I live.
