Love this! Once you have a school age child you are literally going to at least one party per weekend, upwards of three. The only thing I would add is an additional shelf up above to stack the aw...

I love the black and white one with the matching shower curtain, it's like being in a circus tent. You know, in a good way!

Love the eating area.

I would love to have enough room to keep out the stand mixer. I adore that mixer, but it's heavy enough and in a cabinet that when I read a recipe that requires it, I won't make it. Unless it's o...

sorry that should be "rinsing" not "rising"

FYI: Copper pots have a lacquer that is to be removed before you cook with them. Even the ones that ARE meant to be cooked with. There are instructions on the pot on how to remove the lacquer (ba...

I love tomato slices inside grilled cheese, but I have to say the best one ever had bacon in it. Definitely not the healthiest choice, but freakin' delicious!

I like the use of different size rectangles. I did an appliqué style quilt using tee-shirts. http://www.m...

SO adorable. The packaging is fantastic, but the shampoo not so much. I thought my kid wasn't rinsing enough, it left his hair gummy. Then I tried it, same deal. We still love the container tho...

Ok. My 5 year old is going to want to stay in a Death Star.

i like to use my microplane on garlic, mostly because I hate cleaning up the press. And LOVE the mandoline.

We let whomever is cat sitting for us, queue up films that they want to see on our account as an additional perk.

Barefoot Contessa's fresh pea soup. The mint is definitely the key ingredient and the soup is so easy and delicious. Good cold too.

You could make a quilt organizing your fabrics by specific trip, country, or color.
