Pomme - very close to what I was thinking. I can put out some things, but not others. Tablecloths are okay as long as the dangling edges are folded back up onto the table. Plates, platters, glas...
Depends on the guests. With family, always coffee and tea. But most of our friends aren't really coffee or tea drinkers. I thought it might be a generational thing (we're in our 20s).
I like the idea, but with some reservations. For one thing, I'm assuming this would be in place of the tissue box in my bathroom, and thus for use of guests (since for personal use, I just grab th...
Britomart, I too like to have a plunger handy in all bathrooms, just in case, even though problems are rare. I bought plungers that come in a steel canister to contain the eyesore - you can get th...
My husband and I registered for china for our wedding. We always have large groups for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, so 12 settings of china plus 12 settings of our everyday dishes are necessary ...
I've considered buying ashtrays from the thrift store just to have on the patio for parties - just another thing for the comfort of our guests. But then, my husband and I are not smokers, so ownin...
My father always called this just "mash" - differentiated it from mashed potatoes, and we never really had any other mashes of vegetables. I wonder now if that was just his word for it, or somethi...
I have to admit to kind of liking the look of the top heavy bed, even though I know in practice I'd hate all the pillows. I think it's the five year old in me (I've also had a long term crush on c...
I've made open terrariums for orchids in large vases. It's a little different since it's not a closed system, so I have to spritz in a little more water every month or so, but it does increase the...
Deviled eggs could be made to resemble eyes - maybe stick a green olive with pimento in the top. Or bloody mary cherry tomatoes (though it might be cutting it close since they need to marinate a c...
Hmmm. I lived in Denmark for a year, and never heard anyone say that.
That said, most of the homes/apartments I visited were quite small, which seemed quite typical of Europe in gener...
I remember other kids going to Cotillion Classes covering etiquette back when I was a kid. Classes for manners are nothing new. And there are certainly plenty of parents who can't remember which ...
Thanks for the tip kvh, I'm definitely going to use it.
My tip is, if you're selling something unusually sized, include something else in one of the photos to give a sense of scale. F...
The results are based on what consumers perceive to be the greenest brands (from a pre-selected list). So you could say these are the brands with the best green publicity. (Dove is still pretty c...
Having shared a room with my little sister growing up, I gotta say it wasn't at all fun. Perhaps it's because we didn't always share, but were thrown together when older. At any rate, I'm a neatn...

Or you could pick up some pans from a thrift shop and give those away instead. (I do the same with appetizer platters).

Brilliant. I've seen all sort of tricks for opening bottles of beer (cigarette lighter, another beer bottle, the side of a table), but never for wine.

I have the Ann Toebbe print hanging in my dining room. I love it so so much.
Reeses Pumpkins. More peanut-butter-y than the cups, and so good.
