sandanista, I searched for years too. I found some in antique stores, but they were too pricey and not the right shape. I found this one at a flea market for $100 or so after a long search ... I ...
It's funny, but I've always been too concerned with people peeking and judging me to do it myself. I assume that if I have chips or cookies in my cart people are looking at me and shaking their hea...
Since I rarely entertain anymore, I've never thought about it. I have an inherited set of vintage Fiesta dishes that I love, but they definitely feel everyday and it would just feel sort of awkwar...
I do a media fast every weekend. Actually, I don't have television or internet at my house, so it's not that difficult. It gives me time to read, take a walk, cook, clean up, and spend time with ...
Listen, I'm all for salvaging retro charm. I cry when I see someone removing cheap wood paneling from the 70's. However, this proves that "retro" and "ugly" are not mutually exclusive.
Kuri, you make some good points. I probably wouldn't feed cats a vegan diet, I don't eat soy-based products, and I do buy all my produce at local farmers' markets, but there are some beans and grai...
Ha, I just realized that I said a silly thing - my dogs can't really be "vegan" because they're, well, dogs. I meant to say that I feed them a plant-based diet with no animal products.
I am vegan and healthy. My dogs are vegan and healthy. It's easier for me intellectually to just opt out of the whole meat/fish/dairy thing than to try to justify this use or that, and trying to ...
Thanks Susie! I ended up taking the loft/crate down/out, and couldn't be happier. I left the TV and the machine for now, and it feels fine at the moment, but we'll see - I'm still open to getting ...
Kyle, that's actually pretty cool. It makes me wish I'd told more people about it (I'm Jessica's 'Mostly Neutrals'). I told my parents but I wouldn't even let them vote. Not that they could have...
I ripped out the sad vinyl flooring one day without much of a plan. I ended up just painting the subfloor, which looks alright, until I can save up enough for some marmoleum or cork. I happen to ...
@luftskibet - thanks :) As for the slobbering dog and water all over the floor, I guess the whole thing would be moot if I just designated clean "indoor shoes" and dirty "outdoor shoes."
margrietta - I have no such closets or out of the way places available, and I use a litter tracking mat as well, but it's ineffective. I sweep constantly, but frankly, it gets tiresome and I'd jus...
Why shoes in the house? Cat litter. As soon as I find a way to keep cat litter in the box without vacuuming three times a day, I'll be happy to ditch the shoes at the door. Also, my dog cannot dr...
A general and not-at-all hypothetical question: is it worth sacrificing functionality in a room in favor of peace of mind?
I'm thinking of dismantling the intricate loft bed/storage ...

Sure ... I wouldn't bring my dogs anywhere, but when I had a yard I always invited people to bring theirs.

I want one too.
I've used a lot of zero-VOC wall paints, but does anyone know of an environmentally responsible paint that's suitable for floors?
