Stunning- I love DWR just can't afford them >; (

I stumbled into a MUJI in Hong Kong in 1997 and loved it! I kept the little brown paper shopping bag for years. I know they are opening stores in the US but please please please come to the west co...

You need a less then 2 catagory. My score would have been much lower but for not upgrading our rental (so not going to pay for new appliances for our landlord) and I like cereals :)

We rent a Streng duplex just outside Sacramento. The front door is at the back of the carport so our car is parked literally right outside our front door. I've had my car broken into too many times...

you could always just sketch it with a pencil and then freehand. Or use an overhead projector and sketch around the image. A neat and subtle effect can be gotten if paint the tree in ...

Ikea has some plain waffle weave dish towels dirty cheap. I must have something like 2 dozen of them. I use probably 2 a night. I'd be lost without them. Now my husband, the former exe...

We went on a binge in 2006 and 2007 to sell or give away unneeded items. What stayed, other then furniture and clothing, had to either be stored in a way that was easy to sort and pack.

I just love the shape of the mug and simple graphic display of color. Must get.

Right now, ownership is priced at a premium over renting when it should be the opposite. I've owned and I've rented. In most of CA, it's far cheaper and far less hassle to rent then own. I'm back ...

If you live somewhere that will even let you put one of these in the backyard, why not do a Cob structure instead. I noticed the tour is missing Sacramento completely which is silly as Sacramento h...

We rent houses. We haven't been apt renters for a while but my list may still work. Stability - can the LL afford to rent this place out or will I end up a foreclosed renter story?

These are what you want after you use for your metalic painted wall. Regular magnets sometimes aren't strong enough.
