The one on the left looks like a vagina.

Speaking of online-only mineral makeup companies, there is a whole cottage industry of woman-owned businesses which sell inexpensive samples and provide outstanding customer service. I never though...

Oh and my non-paper-towel usage has nothing to do with "holier than thou", just "broker than thou".

I know a person who went half-way across the nation to pick up a large, obscure medical item (one of those things an old person can use to sit on and go down steps) for pennies on the dollar. It c...

Karen, just curious, how is it going in your new home?

@.Jacklyn.: "we put out an Ikea malm bed on the curb with a note on assembly and bundled in manageable portions" ... how thoughtful! :) I've heard of people returning things, too. T...

What a timely post. This came up for me just last night, while walking with a friend. I might consider knocking to ask if the items are free and to thank them. Is it appropriate to leave a $5 bi...

Amen for not drilling holes in walls. I think the biggest obstacle for me when it comes to improving a room is a reluctance to put holes in walls. Perhaps it comes from so many years living in plac...

Jell-o shots!

I have several problems with smokers: They generally smell horrid (hair, clothes, breath). Smokers who never consider (or care) which way the wind is blowing when smoking ...

Hope you ripped to FLAC or another lossless format instead of MP3.

Rhiana, Your comments are very interesting either so maybe you shouldn't comment any more.

I agree with Gilby. Having a Minneapolis presence on Apartment Therapy is wonderful. I'm finding new ways to look at my city! Thanks, Julie!

I drive all over the place for craigslist deals, but how far depends on price. The distance I'll drive is directly proportional to the amount of money I'm saving by buying CL over new.

I love the Wolverine key trick and have used that for about 20 years whenever I feel uncomfortable going from car to building. BE AWARE. When you get out of your car, look all around ...

Personally, I'd probably leave them untreated (to maximize light) and focus on putting plants and whatnot in front of the lower window, to block a little bit of the view from the outside looking in...

I've seen something similar to this before. The beauty of it is that it was made out of supplies on hand and was near free. I'd imagine the palettes will lose their chemical toxicity after being ...
