I have a dog who sheds a lot. I also have a boyfriend who spills a lot. But the main problem is me. It's so so sad being me before 8am. The simple act of making coffee can lead to utter catastrophe...

Yesterday I fell in love with these eco pots. And then fell in love with the Kangaroo Paw ...

I love the idea of drought tolerant plants that can be cut to bring indoors. Do you guys have any local or online resources for the gorgeous Kangaroo Paw?

I'm not a fan of plug-ins because of their evil, "sea-breeze on an autumn day" smells. But I am a BIG FAN of Mrs. Meyers Lavender products. So I just tried Mrs. Meyers Lavender plug-in. It makes th...

Doug, How does that Antix frame work? Is there a metal backing that all the little frames stick to? What a great idea. Does anyone else have ideas for placing a bunch of unframed phot...

hmr - thanks, i'm a pretty saavy searcher, but I never thought it would be that easy. About to purchase a $14 hairdryer holster from Organize.com. Yay!

I have nowhere to put my dryer away whether I unplug it or not -- so it usually ends up sitting on top of the toilet tank. I've been looking everywhere for a wall-mounted cup holder that I can slid...

It sounds strange to want to win Twigs, but I do, I do!

I've always always gotten my trees from Delancey Street. The Delancey Street Foundation (which has an amazing track record rehabilitating ex-cons) has a moving company, tree lots, and a restaurant ...

At my old place we had an old, flat, rusty looking fridge which kept being ugly despite our efforts at making the house perfect. We eventually painted the fridge with black chalkboard paint. The ch...

I'd love to find a wall-mounted reading lamp so that I can clear up bedside table space for books. I've spent years lusting after the wall-sconce version of the nelson lamp, but haven't found the ...

Anna at D16- Thanks for the great post. Have you ever tried painting vintage wood-veneer furniture? I bought a vanity that I would love to paint in a high-gloss, but I'm a little scar...

Has anyone tried linen/cotton sheets? Target and Bed Bath & Beyond have pretty cheap sets (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=110033). It says 108tc, which se...

Shannon in SF, you're not the only one. I'm breaking my back to try and find nice, high thread count white sheets that aren't sateen. I don't want them shiny. I want them cool and crisp. Is that so...

Wow, such serendipity. I just ordered the W bed after all the AT reviews, and now need to upgrade to King-sized sheets. I've been dreaming of linen, but (after forking out the bed money) I can't re...

Abby, The credenza looks terrific! I'm really jealous. I know your car guys did you a favor, but could you tell us approximately how much it costs to do that? Also, what k...

Does anyone know a good (and reasonably priced) furniture refinisher in LA? I bought an old wood-veneer vanity that I'd like to have painted with white a satin-ish lacquer finish. If you have any a...

Oh geez, I saw that a couple weeks ago on a plane in the skymall catalog. I was so appalled I had to wake my boyfriend up to show him. I couldn't decide whether the cat-piss scented tree was worse,...
