I would go with a slightly southwestern theme. Think of your orange counters as terra cotta. Getting rid of the clutter, changing out the hardware, painting the walls, and adding a rug and curtain...

Another vote for the Ikea Grundtal. In my last tiny kitchen, it hung right over the sink. No wet countertops!

Like: automatic update of balances, display of interest rate information, graphics. Dislike: No way to enter transactions manually, so it won't tell you if you've wrote a check for something ...

All hail the return of laminate! And I love the aluminum edge to the island, we had that when I was little. And really, with the frequency that some people redo their kitchens for aesthetic r...

Gorgeous!

Anyone notice how Bob Vila was always TOUCHING things- Like priceless antiques with flawless finishes, "I think I'll just run my grubby old hand down that." It was so annoying! The furniture was r...

2nd the chalkboard paint- saw this done on HGTV many years ago and it was really cute.

Do these stay stuck on after the shades go up and down a few times?

I won't eat lamb but I splurged on a Costco sheepskin for my kitty. Her comfort is the #1 priority, after all.

My local dairy sells milk in glass bottles with a $1 deposit- however, their cost to purchase these bottles is MORE than $1 each. They lose a lot of money each year from people not returning their...

Were we really into the Yale tiny house? It looks to have only 3 comments.

My childhood avocado tree lasted for years- until I went away to college and my mom stopped watering it.

When my parents pulled up the dining room carpet of their 1939 Tudor, they found a foot buzzer, which was apparently used to call the maid in from the kitchen (which was just one room over.) It was...

Try scraping off the paint with a razor blade (get at hardware store).
