I got my first Billy bookcase at age 5 (i'm in my mid-twenties now) and it is still in use after being loaded with books for years. I think for the price, the billy series is a great buy. ...

This sounds really neat, but wouldn't you need to color calibrate your iPhone to whatever the Shermin-Williams color profiles are? And wouldn't a color on an illuminated screen be really difficult...

My friends in a small studio always used camping chairs for extra seating when guests came over, not a bad idea!

There are a few stores I prefer to shop in before I'll go into whole foods (Fairway, Trader Joe's) because they are so overpriced for most things. However, I feel like i automaticall...

I once lived with a French woman in Provence (wine country) who drank box wine! It was actually a local rose, and it was pretty tasty. She liked it because she lived alone and could easily have a...

This is basically where I am in terms of budgeting. I split a CSA farm share with my family, so I get local and organic veggies in the summer (which is actually cheaper than buying them at the gro...

Wow, I am totally in support of buying and eating local, but $6 a quart is extremely expensive for strawberries, no? Does the price drop later in the season?

How is that center one vintage? I've seen lots of people using those. They are cute, but I wonder how practical they are, in terms of washability and weight.

@sunan i think they are for exfoliating? We have a fiberglass stall for our shower that we cannot drill into (the entire shower comes out in one piece...our bathroom is so small it's...

My apartment is actually my landlord's completely detached garage! Okay, a little bit bigger than a shed, but a pretty nice place to live for a renter out here in suburbia.

I love this! I've lived with crazy roommates (who mostly, I loved), a nonstop dance party in the apartment above me (9am on a Tuesday? Really?), a firehouse across the street (and t...

The only time I have ever cooked with an electric stove was in my college apartment (i guess they didn't trust us with gas?), and while I am sure they were the cheapest appliances going, they were ...

My kosher-keeping grandma's rule is if you go outside and shake the crumbs off the tablecloth, you can eat a dairy dessert after a meat meal :) Everyone has different restrictions, a l...

How do you defrost carmelized onions so they don't get too soggy? I absolutely love the flavor of carmelized onions but do not have the patience to make them all the time.

I really am still not in a financial place in my life where I can splurge on things like high thread count sheets or extra bedroom or anything like that. But for me? Food! Maybe it...

I love black for interiors, but I'm not crazy about that first black house...all that architectural detail is lost! Maybe because I grew up in a sea of Levitt and Cape houses with zero that I don'...

really cool! I would probably have the exposed pieces in a different shape or arrangement, but love the idea!

I think it's a good idea, except most people I know tend to bring out the big appliances only used twice a year around the holidays, which might not work out as well, unless you share a food proces...

I don't understand, is AT trying to become a "lifestyle" blog? Please cut this out.

From the first linked post: "Then I saw Jamie Lee Curtis in Perfect and thin was no longer good enough; I wanted to be perfect. Enter the Spandex, rice cakes and aerobicizing. I seem to remember Ja...
