My last apartment had a noise issue. I was going a bit crazy until I ordered a variety pack of earplugs from the Earplug Superstore and discovered a typle of earplugs that fit and were soft enough...

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...

Double check anything "natural"- pyrethrins come from natural sources but I recently read some alarming warnings about them too- can't recall the specifics.

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).

Try washing all the surfaces with murphy's oil soap solution- it did wonders on my grandparents 50-years-of-nicotine stained walls.

I personally really love the spareness of this one, and the worn, bare wood floors. There's a certain austerity to the decor which is very in keeping with northern(ish) New England. And it must b...

I've used the super-cheap LILL curtains from IKEA in several applications. They come in a long length, are trimmed with scissors, and can be very translucent or give more privacy with more gatherin...

Sorry, but the "gallery of well designed parking garages" were ugly too.

Simply in Season began as a printed cookbook, which has recipes sorted by seasons (and color coded according to ingredient). The webpage shows only the fruit & vegetable guide portion of the book.

Ending every post with a question is getting annoying- it makes me feel as if I'm watching a children's faux-participatory television show.

I bought a $30 stand mixer at Target about 4 years ago and have been very happy with it. It also converts to a hand mixer. If you're just an average cook you may not need a Kitchenaid.

I own a similar tiny skillet and thought it would be good for a single egg. But I can't control the heat on it and have burned the whites several times, then gave up. And yes, the handle does get r...

In my family, apple is the must (and no limit on the quantity) but I always beg for at least 1 pumpkin.

This is making me miss the under-appreciated picture molding in my own dorm rooms at Yale. As far as whether a dorm room qualifies as a home, for many of us it is our first real space that we have...

I have that same dream too (usually abandoned living space under the attic) but I also have a recurring dream where I am apartment-shopping and find the absolute perfect apartment, and then discove...
