So funny... I was just discussing this with a friend at work the other day. She's from Staten Island and told me about calling a florist there to get an arrangement sent to a friend. When she spe...

I actually have a Cycloc in white that I need to get rid of... we built a wall of cabinets on the wall where the bike used to hang, so we need a new solution. I'm willing to part with ...

CJL, on the website it shows that you can use a power strip in the bottom of the charging station. With the slide-open front, you can just switch off the power strip when you're done charging and ...

I was a classmate of Kermit's in industrial design at Pratt. He's a great guy with a great eye for design, obviously. I loved reading this story.

My husband's accountant screwed up and put in for less withholding than necessary... a LOT less. But as soon as we said we were married (we filed separately this year, though that may change), his...

We're not getting a check. To add insult to injury, my husband and I got brutally screwed by the IRS this year *because* we got married. The marriage penalty is a reality, especially ...

Almost done. Painted the bathroom on Saturday, still need to hang a mirror over the landing strip but that will have to wait until the weekend. There is still a lot I would like to ...

The Container Store sells an underbed shoe storage vinyl zippered thingy with compartments for different shoes. It has a handle to pull it out from under the bed and can hold about 16 pairs of sho...

I'm very happy with what we've done so far. There is more left to be done (as always), but so far, we: 1. Got a new bed (mattress and bed frame) which has greatly improved our sleep, ...

I signed up and got the emails for a few weeks, but then they stopped coming. I looked in my spam folder and everything, but they weren't there. Please add me! amanda dot butler at g...

Ooh, pick me! My birthday is May 11th and my dad is coming into town... we'd love to go. (Not to mention it's right in my 'hood.)

Would an orchid survive in a bathroom without a window? Or do they need natural light? (I'm dumb about these things, forgive me...)

It was an interesting challenge and I thought most of the contestants did very well with the $10 constraints. I STILL would like to see them assign a vegetarian or vegan challenge. ...

In defense of Ms. Trump, I actually sat next to her on an 18-hour flight to Bangkok (in "Premium Economy" no less!) and she was perfectly nice and down to earth, dressed completely unassumingly cas...

That's the Prince St. subway station on the R/W line... I love that station! The safari decal would look great in a nursery or kids' room.

We have a Bosch washer/dryer combo very similar to the one pictured here (though probably a slightly older model) and both the washer and dryer work great. The washer takes a loooong time to run t...

I can picture it now: "What time is it, honey?" "It's... 1...... 2........ 5........ 3?.... Twelve fifty three?? Twelve fifty three! I think." Too complicated for my ho...

There's not much here yet, but some of my pictures are up on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amandabutl...

I was out of town for nearly two weeks but I'm getting back on track. Yesterday I did an overhaul of the entire bathroom, top to bottom, rearranged all the medicine cabinets and undersink cabinets...
