PS - if you do have a drying rack, it's helpful to have a little drip-pan under it that automatically drains into the sink. I used to have one that was on a slight slant, just enough to drain nicely.
We also often use the dishwasher as a dish rack for the handful of things that can't be cleaned in the dishwasher itself. (We just designate a "clean" section while those things are drying.)

Target doesn't intend to keep most designers for long. They're one-time deals meant to be limited editions.
I bought the Swell Stripe bedding back in the day, and I still use it. No p...
Sorry: Saarinen, not Bertoia. The shape of the OU version is really reminiscent of the Womb Chair, and half a dozen other designs by Saarinen, many of which are still produced by Knoll.
It may be sacrilege, but I think I actually like the proportions and style of the UO version better. It also looks like a similar chair (I'm away from my books and can't remember if it's by Bertoia...
These have been around for a while -- at least since the fall -- but around the time they came out, Target overhauled their hand soap scent offerings. The scents they'd sold for years were replaced...

I was also familiar with wallwords.com for years before I ever heard of Wonderful Graffiti. And the reason I've never done it is that I could never settle on one quote. It's one thing to write stuf...
Caitlin, if you read this again - why alfalfa and epsom salts around the roses? I have all three things, and a late frost this year almost did my rosebush in. It's my first, and right now it gets a...
I'd like to point out that paper bags have a stronger adverse ecological impact than plastic ones do, to start with. The best thing is to bring your own bags; the second best is to use plastic. Pap...
I am not in love with putting anything in pockets in a shower curtain, for all kinds of practical reasons. Not a great idea, for example, if your shower bar is a tension rod. But I also just...
I love that.
It's bummed me out that in the past, on AT, people have described that kind of use of color as tasteless or gaudy (I'm glad ppl aren't doing it on this thread). To me, it just l...
My cats' litter is kept at the top of the stairs - we live in a three-floor townhouse. We tried to keep the litter in the basement, for a while, but we have a very timid elderly cat who spends all ...

LOL! People using the toilet at the top of the stairs don't miss or kick litter everywhere! I mean the cats, of course.
