The nylon shower curtain liners at Target are great. Vinyl is horrible for the environment, off-gasses nasty stuff that you don't want to breathe, and is difficult to clean, prone to cracking... T...

ps I would go with http://www.rejuvenation.com/fixshowW443/templates/selection.phtml or

Rejuvenation has some mid-century things which are very cool. They also have a line called Satellite with several offerings. I think those would work great with your wallpaper and fireplace...ver...

Oh, forgot to say...the ONLY napkins I iron are the WS Hotel ones I use for holidays. The others are all heavy textured cotton and resist wrinkling quite well..maybe a little at the edges, but not...

I have a bunch from a variety of sources... Crate and Barrel's are good, but also, Pier 1 is worth checking out. We use them for everything, INCLUDING backyard BBQs...I just roll up a set of uten...

We are in an energy and environmental crisis. It is entirely reasonable for the state of CA to step in this way. I am hoping that measures like this (as well as water saving mandates, such as SPR...

Wow, I haven't had any serious disasters like these...but definitely some near disasters, like the time the dog grabbed the corner of a grilled pizza sitting on the counter and started pulling. We...

I sometimes let the dog have them. He loves PR (licks up any accidentally sprinkled on the floor during the grating) and i figure they are reasonable things for him to chew on, good for his teeth,...

Blowfish. I ate this in China because I didn't want to offend the Chinese customers who served it to us. However, had I known the exact way it can kill you (by paralysis and asphyxiation, while y...

The only thing on this list I'd actually worry about is bedbugs. Bedbugs don't f*ck around.

A sandwich from Collegetown Bagels, in Ithaca, NY. Hummus on a cheddar bagel with tomatoes, lettuce, and sprouts. It was something I ate in college when I needed a pick me up. Also, their hot ci...

Was anyone else irritated by the notion that Cookie was a good replacement for Domino? None of my friends who got Domino have kids. We are all married, child-free, urban professionals. Maybe if ...

@Niamh: Anyone with a Wegman's is spoiled by definition! =)

I would definitely try to cut rolled out pasta dough into noodles with this thing!

and oh, yes, I would very much NOT recommend DIY with Richlite...there are actually like two certified installers in my state and even one of those guys screwed up the installation the first time (...

I have Richlite (Sage color) in my kitchen and do love it. I do have to oil it a bit more often than I would like, especially around the sink area. But after applying mineral oil, it always looks...

I think by "marshmallow" they are referring to ordinary mini marshmallows (which is what the traditional recipe uses). Fluff seems too sweet to use as the main binder, and will also not set up pro...

Sigh, I loved Ione Skye's house. I miss Domino so much already!

I'd consider hanging hospital curtain track on the ceiling, the full length of that wall, and hanging very long curtain from it via bead chains and clips. That way, you can pretty much make the cu...

I would suggest looking at FLOR tiles. I made a 12 x 6 rug for my living room with them (cutting some in half to form a border, mitered at the corners) at a total cost of
