My friend made the most amazing mural on a basement wall with a huge array of colors and nozzles. If I ever own a place, I'm absoutely having him spray paint me some fantastic scene!

Sure newspaper ink is made of soy, but how many people handle your newspaper before it reaches you? I am all for elimiating paper towels, but would love some thoughts on creative reuse...

This may be obvious, but try it fajita style and keep all the components in separate containers. I have a great Japanese-style lunch kit with several small containers, and when I make wraps or faji...

Scootergirl, thanks for the kind words about Boise - I'm heading there in two weeks for a six month internship! Can you recommend any favorite places? Specifically food and entertainment, I'm afrai...

Love this idea as well. Re: Quiltmaster's idea of using wallpaper: I was just thinking the same thing! Or even decoupaging pretty craft paper. But cabinets get tons of use; any ideas for helping it...

Yes! More modern rustic, please!

sillyputty, that's genius!

Carinagardner: thank you for your honesty and effort. The holier-than-thou, 'can't believe you live the way you do!' attitude is limiting the success of all kinds of environmental efforts, not only...

I did this in high school, and love to see it executed far more nicely than my attempt back then!! (think... big purple daisies painted on the desk, lol)

If the owner and her dog are comfortable climbing the stairs after a couple glasses of wine, then I think they look great... a railing just wouldn't look right to me. However, I'd be terrified to c...

great concept, but it seems like an awful lot of work for something lacking durability...

Besides the small size, homemade-ness and composting/drainage/garden system, what makes this place especially green? The walls don't look very energy-efficient to me, although maybe they are, if th...

Personal preferences for style and design aside, I think there's a lot of room for improvement in these kitchens. #7, for example, could have been vastly improved with a pretty curtain covering tha...

I'm with CJL. I've been yearning to take my boyfriend's bed OFF it's wheels!! It ends up halfway across the room...

Aww... I used to play this over and over again on long car or bus trips! We'd do number of kids (with some absurd number like 2,000 being the worst-case scenario), color of house (pea green vs. hot...
