pictureframes.com for custom sizing- you can upload a picture to test various frame/mat options (of which there are a ton), choose a glass/acrylic/etc. cover, and it's ridiculously cheap! You assem...

Don't electric dishwashers save a lot more water than handwashing?

Here's my solution- ROOMBA!!! Completely revolutionized how I clean.

I used Closet Works and was very happy with the price and the service- much cheaper than California!

If you need cheap, customized frames for posters,etc. that aren't the standard sizes, I highly recommend pictureframes.com . . . you pick from a huge variety of frame types and colors, can pick mat...

I have been looking for a modern throw pillow for my couch that incorporates these three colors (or at least the blue, green-yellow/gold and cream) for about two years now to match a chair that I h...

I have no intention of having children anytime even remotely soon. But I've always thought my massive collection of gig posters would go perfectly in a kid's room when they no longer fit in a futur...

I see my Hopen!

This reminds me so much of Dr. Cox's apt on Scrubs!

A good alternative is dried flowers- still "Real", but last as long as fake and don't need to be maintained. I have some dried lavender in my bathroom in a vase.

If you want to stick with beige/gray, I have a great cool beige on my walls- Benjamin Moore's Big Bend Beige.

I love doing my taxes (nerd alert!). I prepare them the minute I have all my tax documents, and if I get a refund, I file. If I owe money, I wait until the last minute to send them in. It's all abo...

Yes, an outdoor rug for sure! Makes it feel like an actual room. Box planters around the balcony, even on the ground makes it feel much more cozy.

I am soooo not DIY. So I realized I can actually PAY for the "H"- with a handyman!

Yuck. Every other photo in Domino lately has a living room with an animal rug of some sort- usually zebra. Why? And more importantly, why?

"Ensure", not "Insure." Sorry, that was bothering me. Though it would be nice to have State Farm pay us if our clothes didn't come out clean.
