I was going to suggest knitting a cozy for it, a la knitta please. But I realize that is probably the worst suggestion you'll get. Or the best. One or the other.

I dunno. My extended family finally got it together to pool what they would have spent on x-mas gifts and donate it to Heifer International. It got us out of the "who is actually coming to Aunt And...

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?

I sweep daily and can barely keep things under control. My mother has one of these: http://www.thecleanteam.com/productd...

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 ...

Also worth looking twice at: Kittinger Bureau http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1039562229.html Flat...

If you look at the Street Easy listing, you'll see that the seller isn't far off the market, since a comparable apartment sold for $925K less than a year ago. Will they get their aski...

I've also borrowed a hand truck from the local deli more than once. I always offer to leave a deposit, which seems to put people at ease.

p_capucine, there have been some good instructions on leafing on here and on instructables. It is supposedly not hard, but I've had leaf (faux) and size sitting on my shelf for six years. Getting s...

Ten dollars says the neighbors hate this. Ten more says this is where the local harmless wingnut lives. Either he'll talk your ear off or he's never spoken to anyone.

I'd go with floorcloth (not that I've ever tried it) unless I really really needed a wipe-able surface. Is there a good way to keep the vinyl from curling? Also, on one ...

My brother lived in a hammock one summer and when he came to visit for a weekend and slept on the floor, he observed that he woke up without a back ache for the first time in a while. I know there ...

Somewhere I read a longish piece about the absurd inefficiency of our fridge placement. In summer, the fridge is generating heat inside our already hot homes. In winter, we're sticking this machine...

I just acquired someone's 11 shelf Ivar system. I couldn't fit all eleven spaced evenly enough to hold books and did space two so they'd fit an old drawer exactly.
