I'm a landlord for only the second time and my first was a tenant who stole my microwave and left roaches when he was forced to leave (because of legal issues all owners had to sell their units).

Not counting moves as a child- which weren't my choice- and the whole back and forth from college thing- also largely not my choice- I have moved 6 times since 2003. All of these were purchased hom...

I use tin ceiling tiles across my kitchen work area http://flickr.com/photos/squeegeebeckenheim/3095045315

I painted my cabinets with chalkboard paint. The inside is painted with magnetic paint and I use that one section of cabinet as a household organizer. I haven't had a problem with grease or ...

Yay! I grew up in Sherman and love that the area is finally getting attention.

I like the idea of the Ramen spoon/fork thing, but don't know that it's actually necessary. In fact, I don't think I'd ever use it.

I have a world map shower curtain from Target. It smells of chemicals and plastic, and I hate that, but I loved the world map and needed it bad. Course, after smelling the chemicals every time I sh...

I have a bunch of these from the useless Christmas/holiday/party gifts I get when people come over. I use them as soap dishes, sponge dishes, and as a catch for jewelry in the bathroom.

I have this same problem! A wide open basement area that I'd love to make a living room (huge doors and windows) but hideous ceiling tiles, holes in the ceilings and horrid panels!

Selling also makes you realize not everyone sees your vision... When I was selling, my agent actually told me to put $1200 into my kitchen because none of the prospective buyers "under...

I just moved into a house with one of these ugly things! My solution? I got a tankless water heater. The debate is out as to whether its more eco-friendly, or even less so, but for my household of ...

I've always been a fan, especially being a travel journalist! I am looking for a larger one though, to possible resign this one as a guest bedroom headboard.

I moved to Staten Island for this very reason. Being born and raised in NYC, I needed a little more green but not a lot more commute. Now I'm happy to report a couple of huge oak trees right outsid...

This is my first cure, and my goals are simple: fix all the mistakes the last owner left us. This woman seriously did not clean her house in 17 yrs and we are left with broken furnaces...

OOO I'm a full-time NYC resident, but have a place down South and I'd love to be an AT: South to include New Orleans, as well.

Anything with a handmade look adds real personality.

Oh- to the poster: It's also suggested that you leave the crate open when the dog isn't using it, place a few toys, or even food in there to make it more like a rest area and less like...

While I don't tend to leave my crew in crates when we are out, crate training is a widely used potty training method hinged on the (kind of gross, but effective) idea that an animal will not sleep ...

Sorry, meant to say they are THIN.

I have a lot of house guests stay over, and I like to buy beach towels. They are long, but thing, and fold up easy to fit in my linen closet. Plus, they usually come in just about eve...
