Save up. If you can't squirrel away $200 out of each paycheck, maybe a sofa isn't where you should start. If you can, you'll be most of the way there in a year. Yeah, it takes discipline. But it w...
I had a friend in Cambodia who could not go home after a night out without a stop for fried silkworms. I was chicken, but they were obviously delicious. As long as we're talking about gross though,...
In a kitchen, tin is awesome, but in any room that doesn't get greasy/humid (and don't tell me your kitchen doesn't get greasy. It does.) you can get wallpaper with similar embossing. And then you ...
Woah. I'm going to call my mind blown by the whole debate. Where's the button for "you have to be kidding?"
I tend to grab the pillow by the open ends shake it down into the case and l...
I know it isn't that helpful, but it is really silly when owners get all attached to whimsy in the rental unit. I mean, if she's planning to retire up there when the time comes and she really wants...
NYCwife and company ... I'm thinking all the same thoughts. Jigsaw around the toilet? But the gunk? But the mauve?

Figure it this way:
Either: they hate you and want you to suffer, in which case it really isn't your job to deliver on that. Or,
They really wanted you to enjoy this thing...
I'm with everyone else. There's nothing "apartment" about this. There's also nothing "farmhouse" about it that I can discern. 7600 square feet of new construction, with a flawless chem-lawn?
Yup. I keep a bag of clothes, too (an old pillowcase) and periodically put things I think I can live without into it. As well as thinks I know I can live without -- if it didn't fit the last eight ...
I dunno. My friend's new girlfriend made dinner at my house recently and I was glad she felt comfortable opening drawers and cabinets to find what she needed.
But wine? No way. You ha...
If I walk into Macy's and buy a $140 pair of jeans I can figure that the person who sewed those jeans took home maybe $2. I don't think that is healthy for our economy. I bought a $140 pair of jea...
Not new, but no.
I mean, maybe if this is part of some kind of greywater filtration system and it is growing moss and all. But just under the soap? No.
Zojirushi is all well and good but when my husband started mumbling about rice cookers I went on a hunt for one I could stand looking at and came up empty handed. I think we're long over due for a ...
