I work in a museum with 20,000 square feet of 85-year-old cork floors. They spent their first fifty or so years without a/c or heating here in the deep South. It's in the kitchen, the butlers' pan...
You don't even have to go as far as Hawaii to enjoy tropical flora. New Orleans is a sub-tropical zone and is absolutely rife with enormous hibiscus, bougainvillea, birds-of-paradise, and even has...
I use the clear plastic shelf liners from the Container Store for mine. Got the original four-shelf one from them, and then added a matching shelf later, which I picked up at Lowe's. I use it as ...
Heywood Wakefield made a lazy susan coffee table in the 40s or 50s. I inherited my grandmother's, and I will never, I mean, NEVER want another coffee table. It's genius. Remote, beer, magazine, ...
I can testify: wiping with newspaper definitely leaves windows streak-free. I once had a particularly uptight landlord refuse to sign off on my move-out until I had re-done the windows to his sati...
With judgy mcjudgerson "friends" like Gwyneth, who needs their own self-loathing? I'm sure Mario never noticed he was fat until Gwyneth helpfully pointed it out. Because, you know, fat people are...
As I have a grand total of two (TWO!) drawers in my entire kitchen, the untrained eye might think both of them were junk drawers. Rather, they have a lot of disparate stuff in them that I might nee...
Declawing a cat is like cutting off your fingers at the first knuckle, LTZ. If your sofa is that important to you, maybe you should get a goldfish instead.
1. My teeny kitchen is *definitely* a one-butt kitchen. No room for anyone else.
2. Also, there's no room for a dishwasher, so it's easy be just entirely overwhelmed with dirty dish...
I have used borax sprinkled in a line *outside* windows and doors to prevent ants & fleas from coming in. This works particularly well with what we call "sugar ants" here in the South.
I suspect that, if all hormonal contraceptives disappeared today (poof!), the subsequent over-population would be far more detrimental to the environment than this. Besides, nobody knows if they w...
I use cheap plastic chopsticks for a zillion things (stirring, poking, getting coffee grounds out of my french press, etc.). Sometimes I also use them for weird cleaning dilemmas (getting lint out...
Does the new comment policy allow for a post that is nothing more than SQUEE omg that puppy face and giant paw are killing me with eye-watering adorableness!?
You might find more information at the National Museum of the American Indian website (www.nmai.si.org) or possibly someone in the Chiricahua Apache organization.

Oh no! I kind of loved that green fabric headboard until you said "felt" and now all I can see is a pool table!
