What is the accent color in your furnishings? You could use that. Or what about a glossy black. That could look cool with your decorator's white.

My lab mix Gus likes his LL Bean dog bed. However, the sizing chart is off, go a size smaller. But what does he like better? The couch. Oh, and a pile of sheets that are on the floor getting re...

I did it a few times when I lived in a building with a gross laundry room. Now that I have an in-unit washer and dryer, I don't have to.

Somebody has to win! Might as well be me!

Ugh - Tracee is a horrible host. I think they're keeping her around for the drama. Nobody is knocking my socks off, but Trish, Matt and Jennifer seem to do best on camera.

As someone who grew up in a red house - I like it!

My first apartment was on Belmont directly across from Mt Carmel. Saturday nights were super loud with traffic and drunks. Sunday mornings you had the church bells. They're not easy to sleep thr...

Unfortunately, this wouldn't scare my dog. We tried the scat mat, but we think it made him go nutso after he tripped it and then he would chew up things around the house. (He's very excitable). ...

I've gotten glass cut at Clark & Devon hardware, not sure if they cut plastics. It's worth a phone call to them. FYI - they're my fave hardware store ever, even though I moved out of the 'hood. ...

The big ol' George Foreman grill, some booze, some mixers and chips.

There is a flea market in Sandwich, Illinois. It runs spring thru early fall. It's smaller than Kane County, but has lots of beautiful furniture - especially Mission Style
