I'm a bit of a reusable bag lover and my current favorite is the flip and tumble (flipandtumble.com). While I'd been meaning to get one for ages since I'd been following them since pre-production, ...

Probably averages monthly, with overall frequency determined by stress levels (rearranging furniture is soothing). I've been a chronic and serial rearranger since childhood and if it furniture arra...

I agree with the other comments IF this is a purely business decision. But it seems like it's really more of social-commentary-in-business-clothing going on. I think it's important to get people to...

Does one need to worry about it rusting through? Or since succulents don't need a constantly moist soil, is this less of an issue? Would there be an appropriate sealant for the metal interior that ...

I have two of these sort of things. Quarters go into a bowl for laundry. Everything else (pennies, nickels, dimes) goes into a donation bank for a charity that provides emergency poverty relief loc...

Domino was the one magazine I've voluntarily subscribed to in my adult life (its first year). I enjoyed it mildly, but found it much less inspiring, insightful, and articulate than the majority of ...

Okay, I uploaded (poor) pictures with instructions here: http://flickr.com/photos/happify in the "home" set. Feel free to ask any questio...

I bought the mattress of the girl who was moving out of the room I was moving into. I figured there wasn't much with a mattress that there wouldn't be with a carpet and I'd rather have a few dead s...

I'm currently (as in right this minute while browsing online and listening to This American Life) making a duvet cover like this out of two flat sheets. I'd ordered the West Elm pintuck duvet cover...

I've never used a drycleaner since my understanding is that "traditional" drycleaning is extremely toxic and once vacated, the site must be treated as a brown site. I know there're green cleaners, ...

Midwest urban pride for Obama/Chicago coming from Mpls here!

My mother calls hers "jok" (long o) and her extended family spoke Cantonese. I'm used to it being chicken based, with water chestnuts, peas, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. I've also made it vegetar...

I think you only buy one and the reason it's on a hanger is not to hang clothes from, but to keep it where you need it. My father regularly used such a brush on his suitjackets and generally would ...

Towels are one per load of laundry, which is about once every week to week and a half. I shower every other day generally, though. I have two towels. Sheets are about once every three ...

Sarahrae, I do have a photo of it in quite a messy state (for the Cure) at http://flickr.com/photos/happify/2944853359/. It's currently c...

Are those vintage Thonet? My family has about ten of those with the original lime green vinyl upholstery that was on the chairs when they bought them from a bar going out of business decades ago. A...

I'd love to hear how the drawers are being used when it's a coffee table. I have two, one used as my desk (and hence storage is along the lines of what mollywtx does) and the other is legless and c...

I love the messages/graphics of those type of WWII propaganda posters and have long wished I could get my hands on one! Lucky you! I also love following that slogan -- it's more of a c...

I'm looking for a vintage stool of the era of that orange one. My budget's in the Craigslist range at this point, but I have no idea where to even come across such things, esp. since I need it to b...

My 2008 and 2009 calendars both feature birches -- in December of 2008 and January of 2009. http://www.etsy.com/view...
