One more thing - vacant houses need to have their street number easily visible...sometimes they are removed or obscured from weeds/damage, etc. This is another thing to mention to the building divi...

There are certainly things you can do, not just as a next door neighbor but as a responsible citizen. You can find out your city's process for contacting the building division and make sure that al...

Perfect! We've got some in the freezer, can't wait to try!

Do you think it's selling yourself short to use just the shells, not the heads? We have been saving shrimp shells to make stock, but haven't bought the head-on kind (fresh seafood supplies are less...

Probably some of the most "real" people featured in Dwell yet. This is awesome! Congrats guys :)

Surprised no one mentioned it yet, but Technivorm Moccamaster automatic drip. Seriously the best $$ I've spent on coffee and well worth it for something that you enjoy everyday, and the machine its...

I need some ideas...not sure if I can swing any of these though. I hate storing stuff under my bed (it's the one feng shui thing I've bought into...and the dust!), and I have limited closet space. ...

Wow. This is awesome. And Mary's mom's response is so sweet. Love it. THIS is what AT is about.

I think cultural awareness is important, whether it's brought on by increased media attention in times of disaster or not. Let's say this person HAS donated money, as much as they can, and still fe...

The dinner party w/ Haitian recipes is a wonderful idea for a fundraiser. You could do it as small or large as you are comfortable and still raise funds. A little more personal than just texting th...

Re: #5, my bank (US Bank) has free online billpay that you can use to send an actual check in the mail to anyone at all. So if the biller (i.e. my landlord) isn't in the system (aka not a huge corp...

I think by making sure the layout and the big stuff is to scale would be helpful. Do show the doors and windows, too (also to scale). I really don't think you need to hire a designer. ...

I completely agree w/ everythingistaken's advice and move the cabinets to divide the kitchen (much quieter, secluded for the bedroom area). Then you can use a sheer-ish hanging curtain that will gi...

Those look amazing! I think the links to the blog and Flickr photo are missing though.

Yay TFA! Reminded me I have a gift cert to use...I might need to pay them a visit this weekend.

Wow, no idea this was called a granny fork. My Mom has her mother's and it's basically the gravy-maker. Essential item for making gravy. Which of her 5 children will get it passed down to them rema...

I sort of feel that any sunchoke recipe should come w/ a "may cause intestinal bloating and/or gas" disclaimer. I think its not fair for the unsuspecting person who eats a 1/2 pound of these guys a...

I heart Rothschild's. Not cheap, but you can find some real treasures too. They've got a knack for scavenging some super cool chairs, tables, and other furniture and architectural pieces that you r...

Awesome! I was going to scour the internets for clearance calendars today that don't involve kitties or horses, so thanks! :)

Haha, this is funny, we spent some time yesterday INSTALLING privacy film, at our new apartment. Front door is done, ready to do the back door some time this week. And I'll def. keep the spray stuf...
