hey, i loved that one with the blanket too. he said his great grandfather had been an Indian agent back a hundred years ago and it had been bundled up in a trunk for years and years. apparently ...

this is nice and small, but as small as my kitchen is, and space being at a premium, if i had six place settings to wash i could do it in the sink in 20 minutes and save the storage space for this ...

raisin bread, bacon and those ginger cookies from Trader Joes that come in the big plastic bucket.

i can't make a decent looking omelet to save my life.

i know you can get an industrial dough bread bowl for less than that!!

i'm a sucker for subway tile, light or white shaker style cabinets, black soapstone or butcher block counters. although i love green in a kitchen and i saw in the new House Beautiful there are two...

i don't get up at 4 a.m. any other day of the year, and the kind of gifts i buy are never on sale anyway. so no, i'll skip it.

i remember our cardboard christmas fireplace. my mom bought it one Christmas at the exchange when we were on the naval base and we kidded her about how tacky it was.............i think we hurt her...

i just looked at this at HD about an hour ago. it's 25 dollars for ten square feet (9" x 12" sheets). i would need three boxes to finish my backsplash back and sides. i'lll just get the thinset.

this is a great transformation for such a little cash. you're right, the less fake wood showing the better. and that floral paper is a great idea.

i love these because this is one of my favorite children's books. there may still be a raggedy copy of this at my sister's house that i have to my niece a few years ago. perhaps i can find it and...

i did go from an 18 cubic foot fridge to 10, the larger one was taking up a lot of space in my 7 x 7 foot kitchen. for one or two people it's plenty big, newer and more efficient and not so noisy a...

when i replaced my sink earlier this year i saw at HD some little "fillers" metal disks that are used to plug up the extra hole.

Brach's -- ONLY Brach's -- candy corn.

i eat Uncle Sam cereal (at Trader Joe's) for flax and fiber, just had it this morning. and i grind up some flaxseed in my smoothie drinks.

my kitchen is only 7x7 feet, and the 24" refrigerator really made a difference. i was skeptical when I bought a $300 Magic Chef at HD, only 10 sq feet and it turned out to be plenty for one person...

i was tired of looking for the right green for my kitchen, so when i saw "Panacea" i decided no more, i'll take it. it turned out to be perfect -- as perfect as i'll take the time to search for.

when i was a kid my baby sitter had a pair of those orange chairs in her living room. i thought her house was cool and space aged.

i really miss Cottage Living, always smaller well-designed homes and beautiful gardens. these days i only take House Beautiful. the homes are way out of my budget, but i like t...

okay, i've got some leftover paint. i'm going to paint my kitchen ceiling this weekend. valspar "panacea" a pale serene green. i got tired of making decisions and the name settled it for me.
