I don't know about this particular frame, but foldable futon frames like yours should have an adequate sized ledge to help keep the futon from sliding when in it's upright postion. Also, your futon...

I tend to shower and my showers tend to run around 15 minutes, perhaps as much as 20 some mornings and on occasion, it's less, it all depends on a, how chilly it is in the mornings (usually during ...

Gonna throw my .02 cents worth to this. When I moved into my 1960 era building 4.5 years ago, I was looking for location, view (preferably), a balcony (preferably), 1 bedroom and affor...

I was able to see this without problems and I'm having issues with Explorer here at work too! A house tour last week didn't work for a couple of days for all I could see was the first image, then i...

Nice idea! Love the color combo of the deep teal chairs and the chartreuse and darker green tablemats. Not to crazy about the flatware though. I am finicky about the handles and how th...

Oh I love this idea. Being of a creative mind, it can come in handy for pinning up stuff you are working on so you can get a feel for it as you go along for instance. And I just like t...

I do keep a couple of rolls, usually one in the holder and a spare but it'd take me months to actually use the roll up and i only use it for when I do cook bacon (not too often) or for wiping up po...

I just have a smallish balcony 4 floors up that gets the more or less western sun most of the day. Currently, I have a tomato bush and several succulants in pots for the summer months

Don't know about where the chairs came from but I like how they choose mustard yellow, pink and eitehr moss green or gray, I can't tell but I'm willing to bet they were ordered new, probably from M...

My living room is where the major music enjoyment is located and it's a 90's era receiver w/ phono pre stage, an 80's era modest turntable w/ an almost 2 year old Shure cartridge, the nicest soundi...

Right now I don't travel so much as I go visit my Mom the occasional weekend and don't often get home until at least 8PM. So here is my routine. Find a spot to park the truck on the st...

Pantzini, The thing to realize about night lights is this and it may be difficult to understand unless you've experienced getting up in the middle of the night and that is one should ...

In response to Pantzini, Most night lights even if they use a standard incandescent bulb, are at most 4w anyway so the draw is minimal and many of them have photovoltaig cells in them ...

I do, mainly in the bathroom as I have no outlets in my tiny hallway in my apartment. Should put one in the kitchen for when I need to get a drink, but that's what the fridge is for. :-)

In reading this story, I had not so pleasant visions of what should be done w/ the "woman" who should be refered by the more derogatory term that begins w/ a B. So the house is small b...

One suggestion when packing for a move (or better yet, for storage) Avoid using newspapers if you can help it, the inks can stain items like some colored dinner ware, metal trays w/ a protectant co...

Some very good suggestions. A few things I'd like to add when it comes to organization in the kitchen at least. Place items such as large cooking utensils in some kind of canister like...

I actually saw 4 Thonet chairs on Sunday at a sidewalk sale, sadly, they were dirty and needed to be reupholstered but looked to be in good shape otherwise. Totally covered in bright t...

Not a whole lot, a friend is coming into town tomorrow for the afternoon, otherwise it's go through and purge both virtual and physical files and do that kind of organizing. Outside of that, it's t...
