I, too love the 3M Command Adhesive products (of various sorts) but we recently had one pull completely off the wall and pulled a chunk of paint with it. The frame wasn't even very big or heavy. ...

We have a Fisher Price Space Saver high chair, which turns into a booster. I'm not sure how much space it saves, really, because now we just have one of our dining room chairs in the middle of the...

Very pretty. I just hope there aren't any little kids around who would chew on that peeling paint (on the chairs). (My kiddo chews everything right now...)

Great job! This gives me hope that I'll be able to repurpose my glider someday. I love it, but even the nicest looking ones start to look really worn and dumpy after a while.

I agree, it's a bit weird and creepy. I do think that one could just cut a hole in a garment that's warm and stretchy, though. Or maybe re-use a maternity garment. Seems kind of ex...

I agree with all of the recommendations for Baby Bargains. It helped a lot! Our little guy is 4.5 months old now, and there are a few things that have helped a lot. In no particular ...

Wow, it took me a minute to figure out what those are.

Here are some more recycled feed bag products over at a Fair Trade store that I ran across:

This is pretty cool. I'm thinking that a carpenter or a really handy DIY-er could make something like this pretty cheaply. I remember the wood loft-style beds from my college dorm days, and addit...

I agree with Yolanda's comment that friends and family are likely to load you up with things you don't want, if they don't share your goals. We have been trying and trying to politely convey to ex...

If you're really interested in saving on laundry-related costs, invest in a highly-efficient washer and dryer, some of which use very little energy, water and soap. Then all of your laundry, not j...

I agree with the others that cleaning practices are going to have to go along with any sort of revamping of furnishings. The few times I've had to stay in an ultra-budget motel, it wasn't the outd...

I think the brownie pan inventor won some sort of contest a while back. Glad to hear it's being manufactured now. But I'm weird, I guess...I only like "middle" brownies, not the edges.

Ahh, Bob Ross. I happened to see a rerun of his show recently on one of the PBS Digital channels. Loved that guy.

Hmm, this reminds me of some of the weird things that my classmates in architecture school made in the studio, just for fun. Great as a creative exercise; not so great if your neighbors have to lo...

I am so thankful we bought a condo that was built as a condo building, not apartments...we have 12 inches of concrete between units, above, below, and right/left. A lot of the condo conversions an...

Cute...and this would probably be a fairly straightforward DIY project if you had the right tools (or a generous friend with a garage and tools you can borrow).

I don't know, it seems awfully big for a single-use item. As a kid we always had homemade popsicles and the little plastic tupperware handle caught some drips, and we had to eat them in the kitch...

Yes, I was thinking I might just use any old bracelet (or pin, etc.) to keep track of which side is next....I'm sure I have a pile of old rubber bracelets somewhere!

I've taken an up-close look at some of the plans, and I think it's a really good idea. At least originally, the stadium in Washington Park was intended to be a temporary structure that would be re...
