Yep, the $90 usually includes "preservation" in acid-free tissue and box as well. Personally, I donated mine to Brides Against Breast Cancer right after our honeymoon. I knew I wouldn'...

The NYT review of the movie pretty much nailed my take on it: "“No Impac...

Some landlords/property management companies will run their own credit checks. I'm not sure if a self-provided credit report would be sufficient. I was in competition to get a really c...

Another vote for just taking apart the p-trap. That's where the clog usually is, and you won't need to dick around with toxic chemicals or boiling liquids. Just make sure to use a cham...

Bepsf's got it right. Prefab and modular homes are especially well-suited to higher-end projects in remote or less accessible areas like Telluride, CO where manual labor is hard to find and raw mat...

Looks remarkably similar to my go-to brownie recipe from the (new-ish) Joy of Cooking. I was initially attracted to...

I was considering this for the guest room, but since our most frequent houseguests are my husband's 70 year old parents, I didn't want to subject them to sleeping that low to the ground. For older ...

I'm with Korin. Get your wife to clear out a drawer or two of her dresser and use teacups, silverware trays, junk drawer dividers, ice cube trays, or a combination of all of the above to divide and...

Barking dogs are excellent deterrents. Doesn't matter if it's a chihuahua or just a lab who'll lick anyone to death - if it barks, it draws attention, and burglars will avoid your house. Similarly,...

I wonder how this material would perform in less idyllic climates - I would love to open the back of my house to the yard this way, but living in the Pacific Northwest I'm not sure Polygal would st...

If you think this is out of control, check out the gallery of the way the rooms are decorated. Personally, I love staying at the Carlton Arms,...

I really appreciate how they kept the vintage character of the kitchen and bath. The painted floors in the studio and guest room are a nice touch, too.

It's been around for years, but Orenco Station is a good example of a more sustainable "New Urbanist" suburb. It was built around ligh...

I'll generally pay a student friend to cat sit, but I definitely make sure to leave the place clean, user-friendly and buttoned up before I leave. In case she wants to stay and hang out (which I en...

If you want to cut the amount of time you spend in the shower, you're better off buying a showerhead with a manual shut off valve and taking Navy showers. I was recently on a cruise where the tempe...

One of my favorite things about packing light is that it eliminates the burden of trying to figure out what I'm going to wear every day on my trip. If I've only got one pair of pants and three tops...

Hell, I'm still mourning Budget Living.
