The watchmakers cases are aluminum, which I am careful to avoid for food & edibles. This post shows a great idea with the 4oz jars! I can keep those on a wall and my bulkier spices ...

I dropped all my old cleaners at the city's recycling and household hazardous waste center. Told them they could use them or dispose of them properly, whichever. They laughed and thanked me.

When I had white plates, they got funky quick- showing every scrape and imperfection. I switched to exuberant red and grounded Frankoma brown, and now walking past my cupboard always b...

First I keep my cleaning products Simple. I have only four things: baking soda, vinegar, oxydrain, and dish soap. I keep them under the sink in the kitchen AND I keep baking soda & ...

Is there some way you can joyfully give them away? Supply a firefighters retirement fund auction with do-dads? That would be ideal. You can appreciate the thought and 'pay it forward...

Share your food with friends and neighbors! Sometimes I am just bored with a good dish, so I don't want it. I pass it on before it gets old. I used to do a leftovers smorgasbord meal...

I want to see more posts like this one. Good design is good design, but I like apartment therapy best when we focus on good design for small spaces. I live in Texas, in a 900 sq ft ho...

I use first aid tape instead of band-aids. It's breathable and sticks really well. The brand is Nexcare First Aid, Gentle Paper Tape, by 3M. The hospital name is 3M Micropore Surgica...

Piles of papers are the bane of my home's peace! I will consolidate, file, and recycle until my tables are my own again. Peace & perseverance!

I used this in my East facing bedroom when I lived in Arizona. It works great! My room did not get nearly as hot, nearly as early in the day. I'm talking 15 degrees difference. Go for it!

Hello! Finally dipping into the 60s at night really gives me the energy I need to work on my home projects. Now AT will help with the motivation! I look forward to a great 8 weeks ...

Over on Ohdeedoh a while back they posted a simple DIY fabric sling to hold books cover out in a child's bedroom. I think it used a set of those double bar drapery supports, two dowels and your fa...

Uline is an excellent industrial supply. Very utilitarian, and economical if you are truly buying in bulk.

Just think of it as season specific insulation for the walls. I did something similar (though less elegant) with a spare comforter in college. Warmed the room up considerably. Shaker...

This looks like a lot of fun. Tonic water has quinine in it and no sweetener. That's why Gin & Tonics are delicious! I have been enjoying the aformentioned G&Ts, but am running out...

What a fun idea! I would use it for phone messages or house mate communications and chalkboard paint comes in a gillion colors now.

@ubertimmo- I believe the arrangement that AT is referring to is the collection beneath the Ball jars. Ball jars are the standard for all storage in my kitchen, no formal canning required.

'Sasha' also has brass tacks and sexy curvy legs. The rest of your room seems to be full of straight lines with brushed steel metal accents. Aside from adding color, you could also bring more uni...

Apartment Therapy covers Texas often enough, scouting out from CA or Chicago, how about our own blogger? Houston and Austin both have some really interesting design work going on, especially in gr...

I collect Frankoma, 2 designs, 3 colors. My great-grandparents were friends with Dr. Frank at the University of Oklahoma, so we have the history. The old Frankoma tends to the earthie...
