Definately my cup of tea and principles I've used since I was able to afford to live on my own.

Animal shelter or beach blanket. Either way, the white can be bleached.

I second thread_bare's post. I have yet to find a suit that is machine washable, and Dryel, while it may work in some climates, is insufficient for proper cleaning in the humid concrete jungle I l...

(Wow... Snarky posters today. Where's the community folks?) Top 5 recommendations below. *** Streamlining the counters will go a long way in opening up the kitchen. Co...

Rebekkap, I just stumbled back across this post. I respectfully disagree with you on the utility of cornstarch bags. I have two dogs and have tried at least three different brands of cornstarch b...

Koikub - love the quote. That movie is why I don't have ANY wire hangers in my closet. Freaky scene. To answer the question, I trash. I didn't know you could recycle them. I'll ha...

But I'd have to give up AT...

Decor and writing a little too mainstream for my taste but I applaud the effort. (You don't see me tossing my hat into the blogger or contest rings.) Good first post by Thomas. Maybe with some t...

Frontgate has a rattan dog crate that is fairly decent looking. It's a little traditional for my taste but it might be better than another plastic airline carrier. The only issue I can think of i...

If you're not into remodeling at the moment (and the wall behind the lense is not an option), move the towel rack to the wall with the toilet paper holder and put a mirror above toilet. I'd go ext...

I second the comment that it's nice now. How are you going to use the space? Overflow while entertaining? Or Sunday morning, coffee/newspaper ritual? If the former, you need some f...

I too had one of those bathrooms in my former house. You don't mention your budget but a coat of paint and less than $200 in accessories can go far. (1) Use a large round or oval mirr...

LOVE THIS TOPIC! Anyone with a yard can relate. Everyone has the same issue. I spent hundreds trying to find one. The best option I found was two-fold. First, purchase a birdfeed...

Seriously, you need to ask? Get rid of the toxic plants! Some pets are naturally curious and, while you can try to train the pet to stay away, they are still animals and curious creatures. It's ...

The motto is REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE... these are perfect doggy clean up bags, garbage can liners, etc. Banning them is not the answer, encouraging people to reduce (bring your own bag), reuse (as ...

I gave up fresh, neat looking beds the day I adopted a big german shepard dog. No matter how neat I make it, I come home to find the top throw blanket crumpled into a ball in the middle of the bed.

I could see these coming in handy for people without washer/dryers in their apartments so they can toss a couple of small packets in the basket and not have to lug the bottle of detergent around. ...

1) Move it. If it's new construction check your contract. Maybe you can reject the layout and demand that the access panel and vent be moved. If not, see what your builder will quote you (maybe ...

Great variety in your selection of artists. Also, good topic for your first post. Rather than posting about local shops, which we want to see but not necessary for your audition, you took a creat...

I love the eclectic colors (I have a strong, warm red couch and red toned carpets) but agree with smashleigh, you need some balance with the strong colors/patterns. Some warm neutrals would allow ...
