Its not really an apology when you say oh I'm sorry but I still think your comment is "suspect", is it CookingSchoolConfidential.com? I didn't wake up this morning thinking I'd jump in...

RichardinLA - oh man that is a fantastic idea, totally something I'd love to do... maybe I could even do that someday, it'd free up so much more counterspace in my little kitchen. I al...

Since when do they make corian in that color?? *grabby hands" I love these shades of green too much for my own good, I can never resist buying it, I have a neon green *couch*. A small ...

Arg. I read more of the reviews and I can't reccommend the h2o mop in good faith anymore, just because it works for me it looks like the vast majority of people have had issues with it.

LiliZ, I found a video from a newsstation that tested the mop if you're curious. http://video.aol.com/vid...

I really dislike cleaning the tub :( It's my own fault because I love salt scrubs and they make the tub disgustingly gungy. I try to use more environmentally friendly bathroom cleaners but then ten...

Plumbing pipe would also be easier to make adjustable if you use a threaded rod at one end. Six inches would be plenty I think. This would probably be a good starting point for it:

Yeah, you have to wait for the soil to dry out completely before you re-water them. Overwatering is what tends to kill succulents. I haven't been able to grow any plants that I like because my sing...

bromelia- I think you have the misconception that because I don't own a tv, that I don't watch any :) I watch a surprising amount for someone who doesn't have one (well, it surprises other pe...

Yeeeeeah I don't really understand why people have such a problem with tvs. I don't own one but that's because all my favorite shows are on premium cable so I just rent them on dvd (netflix is chea...

I do what chicity1126 does. If I'm doing something decorative and have to keep the tape up long after it dries, THEN I do the basecolor or clearcoat sealing thing. Painter's tape is al...

While we're all measuring our pe- uh I mean apartment sizes, I'm living in less than 350sqft and a dining table was more important to me than a sofa (floor plan is also actually too small and awkwa...

I'm nosy about the cost too. I'm moving in a month and have been planning to fix up the kitchen and there are great ideas here, I've already bought white paint for the cabinets and tile to replace ...

I am in love with the lighted flower branches in the fireplace... very burning bush ;) SO cute!

I think a wood "frame" is a great idea as well. Flat long pieces of wood are cheap enough and you can stain them... If it were my window I'd do that AND put up giant vinyl decorating decals. :)

OMG amandacollier that online catalog is amazing. I am SO going to order a sheet of quilted chrome for my backsplash.... when I can afford it anyway. I was looking at the ACP "metal" b...

I have an office closet. :) I painted it dark purple so it's moody and cavelike though. It doesnt get much natural light so a pale color would have been dingy and depressing. The Ikea Mikael desk w...

Oh man this is awesome, I'm planning to paint my kitchen (blackplash) applegreen and (walls) teal in shades similar to the last picture. The room doesn't get much light so I figured I'll go with lo...

I found a clear floor wax that works specifically for vinyl tiles at Ace Hardware (its Ace brand), it seems like it would probably help a cheap floor last a bit longer. Aaaah thanks so...

This is a really weird question... but I'm moving soon and I want to do a really quick and simple makeover to the new place's grody kitchen. It has a gross peeling-up vinyl floor and I can't afford...
