We ripped out our lawn the summer after we moved into our house. The thought of watering and mowing it was just too much. I would never go back. We replaced it with gravel where we have seating and...

I've always wanted a dutch door, but I have no idea how to go about getting one. Can you buy them anywhere? Or do they have to be custom made?

I would love to splurge on fancy crates, but right now we have five dogs - three of our own and two fosters - in our 720sf home. Over ten years of dog ownership, I've tried all sorts of different c...

Lovely planter box! I can't wait to get planting, but I have another week or two before I'm safe from the risk of freezing temperatures. I was really surprised to look outside earlier this week and...

We ripped out our back lawn the summer after we bought our house. It was a small lawn, but it was such a pain to water and it was expensive. We've replaced it with gravel and three big planters box...

This might be a stupid question... but how can you tell whether or not you have a low flow toilet? I bought my house a few years ago. The previous owners did a lot of work to the bathroom, but I ha...

There are some very good suggestions here already, but I just wanted to second the suggestion for covering the crate with a sheet and giving your dog a kong when she goes in the crate. You can get ...

I redid my closets about a year ago. When I bought my house, each of the bedroom closets had one wooden plank for a shelf and one wooden dowel for a rod. I used Rubbermaid Configurations, which wer...

I love those drawers too. I'm going to have to check them out next time I'm at Ikea. Are they very sturdy? Sarah, I know you're going to talk about sourcing tomorrow but... did you use...

Laura, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the LG. I've been thinking about getting one. Does anyone have any experience with Haier combo washer/dryer?

I'm jealous. My garden is buried under a few feet of snow. Can't wait until it melts and I can get back to growing my own veggies.

I haven't given up coffee, but I've been trying to buy fair-trade coffee grown in Mexico or Central America and roasted locally. It's probably not as good as giving up coffee entirely, but that's j...

Have you looked at the Flor carpet tiles from Interface? They come in a variety of sizes and you could arrange them to cover the whole area.

I used to use the Method ones, but then I swore them off. The problem is that I really need something, and I don't like using candles for environmental and health reasons either. I just picked up a...

I bought a house built in 1951 that's all of 720sf. The size is perfect for two adults and three dogs. It's cheap to heat and easy to maintain. A lot of people thought I was crazy for buying such a...

We have a great farmer's market every Saturday here in Salt Lake. Salt Lake has a pretty strong reputation as being a bland, white bread sort of town, but it's a little known secret that the downto...

We had a non-pretty, analog version of one of these at a house we rented up in Alaska. I have to say that it was pretty nice not to have to keep track of keys. I'm not sure it's worth a few hundred...

I've tried a lot of different natural dishwasher detergents, and none of them worked at all except for Ecover tablets. They're great. I've used a lot of Method products, but I'm not really sure how...

I bought a Flexisnake for hair clogs. I think it was recommended on AT:NY. It's a long wire sort of thing with velcro on the end. You stick it down the drain and pull up all kinds of nasty hairy an...

I have a Delta Michelangelo by the front door in my living room, and it's great. It was easy to install, and it's easy to access the bikes. My boyfriend and I ride everyday, so it sees a lot of use...
