When the CatMan and I pack to come home from a trip, I'm specific about segregating items for different parts of our home. For instance, all our trash and leftover snack stuff is in a box in the ba...
I think Rebecca is using "Boy" here the same way I use "CatMan" when I blog: trying to maintain anonymity. I also appreciate the non-use of the royal 'we'.
And as a side note, if he a...
We have lived in our apartment )in a turn-of-the-century farmhouse) since 1996. For the first 13 years, we did nothing to the apt. and I agree with home body - I was deeply resenting my space. I go...

I like minpin's idea to find your missing color - and I 3rd the wallpaper idea. With the tile so far up the wall, I think a stylized, viney paper would give a great 'cap' to the room. And I also ec...
After washing and air drying for several days (at least one of those in full sun), I roll mine in a full size flat sheet and store it in a closet. You don't want to put it in plastic.
