I have a secondhand Billy bookcase w/ doors, which is several years old and will serve me for many more. I bought the Lillesand bed frame last year when I upgraded to a queen, and I ab...

While I tend to dislike the ridiculous games they force you to play at baby and bridal showers, I would enjoy a party like this. I'm terrible at small talk, and I'd rather have something to ~do~ a...

Is it just me, or does every single post that in any way involves IKEA quickly devolve into the same pointless argument?

Oops. My nuts get stored in pretty jars on a shelf and serve double-duty as decoration. And I don't use them very quickly, either.

Oh, I need one! I have a circa-1890 apartment with 10-foot ceilings and really high cabinets. And I'm 5'1".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who balked at the idea of using perfume strips from magazines. I'm really sensitive to scents (strong perfumes are one of my migraine triggers), and the first thing I...

I recently ended up behind a woman who made a huge deal about not getting the advertised 20 cents off a bag of cookies... turns out she had the wrong kind... so she just walked off to find the righ...

Geez, I didn't know that buying a new toilet seat was cause for such ire. Most of the places I've moved into have been less-than-sparkling, and the toilet seats were the very cheap mol...

I ~always~ put on a new toilet seat.

I think a small drawer is a necessary component of any self-respecting nightstand. To hold, um, grown-up "supplies" that oughn't sit out in the open...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I couldn't take it anymore and got some Head and Shoulders (the sensitive scalp kind), and my head feels tons better already. Maybe I'll try some of the suggested...

A belated thanks to everyone for the advice. I've been spraying down the bowl with vinegar after I scrub it, and I haven't had any more problems. Thanks!

My question is, where's the wood chipper, eh?

Love the apartment, love the socks. But the crookedness of the middle picture next to the desk is killing me! I want to reach out and virtually straighten it! :-)

For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT PAINT THAT MANTEL! It is beautiful wood, and if you paint it, someone will be cursing your name 50 years from now when they are trying to str...

^ WTF?

The first one makes me giddy. I love autumn, deep red, and things that are lined up neatly. It's perfect!

A little too 'Pottery Barn' for my taste... but I totally want a reading room like that.

We weren't even allowed to hang tapestries or loft our beds... this is ridiculous! That being said, my freshman year room was a "divided double," which was essentially exactly what the...

Ugh... pretentious AND creepy. I giggled when I read the description of his voice--"a Teutonic monotone." It made me think of Sprockets. Maybe he doesn't have any furniture so he can...
