I never iron my clothes. But then, I don't own an iron.

I think Carly has done a great job of maximizing one room to serve multiple purposes. I'm also faced with the challenge of a one-room studio, yet have not figured out how to incorporate much more t...

The paper towel holder is from Target. The shelves over the stove were thrifted long ago - it's a metal shelf that I believe was originally intended for the bathroom.

Sounds like the LL is trying to evict by intimidation, which is highly illegal, if the place is covered by the RSO. File a complaint with LAHD, and get a copy of their publication "Landlord-Tenant ...

By far the best drip pot coffee I've tasted has been made in the Technivorm Moccamaster . Most consumer-model drip pots do not ...

Ruby Montana's Coral Sands in Palm Springs.

I absolutely love my Kleen Kanteen - it's not too heavy, was only $18, and doesn't develop that yucky smell/taste that plastic tends to. The only downside is that it doesn't always fit into cup hol...

Count me as another one who immediately thought of that extremely wrong joke upon seeing ohdeedoh. Perhaps an explanation will keep those of us aware of this reference from wondering??
