We've just finished doing a wall similar to this but using multi use white cubes. I don't know if you can get them in the states (maybe from the home depot) but in NZ you can get them from Bunnin...

I just love those photos. I was lucky enough to have parents with excellent classic taste, but my grandparents had similar nightmares of rooms! The stippled ceilling with a bronze glitter finish ...

Don't have bare walls. A home looks completely soulless without artwork, even framed posters will do the trick, but whatever you do, don't co-ordinate your paintings with your decor it look...

Kitset storage cubes! Before you put them together put some pretty paper or a nice paint colour on the back panel to create a funky look. Buy kitset shelving units if you want a larger space (lik...

We have a sewerage treatment plant across the park from us, but we never get the odour, however, 400 metres down the road it's really stinky, particularly in the evening when there is a sea breeze....

Our biggest problem is washing. I try to always put a load of washing on over night so that its ready to hang out in the morning. Also, if theres nothing on TV you're interested in before you go ...

We use mince for heaps of stuff, Chili usually, but also bolognese, lasagne, burgers, meatballs, burritos, potato topped pie and of course there's meatloaf too (but I confess, I can't stand it). ...

I'm with Ammanda, I chose as much as posssible, but with my schedule it's usually only the requisite 8 hours to stay alert during the day. Not enough sounds about right! When hubby and I were on ...

I spend weeks scoping stores for the perfect gift every year, and the only person I can never find anything for is my Dad. He usually gets a new pair of jeans because he wears them out so fast (ma...

Where I work we have plastic bags, but they are of the degradable variety - made out of corn starch. The downside of this is that they are incredibly flimsy. If you have something with a reasonab...

I wear my slippers all the time in the house. Sheepskin with a thick rubber sole, even in the summer they are just so comfortable. But oh, my word I hate crocks. i was so mortified when our olym...

I'm not sure how Mortgages work in the states, but here in NZ we can have a small portion of our mortgage on a floating interest rate, we pay more interest on that part of our loan, but all of our ...

The best way to save money is to get rid of the car! I live 20 minutes walk from my work and save around $1000 a year in WOF, Registration, tyres and repairs a year (I live in New Zealand), add to...

definitely a jicama

We were thinking about buying one of these, but were warned off them by a friend. They had theirs for a year and it was nothing but trouble (I think it was an Indesit). The biggest problem was th...

I worked in a coffee shop for years and worked out all the tricks for cleaning the grounds out of the annoying little bits. A soft brush works a dream for getting them out of tight spots, but make...

theres this great citrus based product called de-solv-it, it's made by a company called orange-sol, and you can get it at Wal-mart (or at least thats what it says on the web page). I swear by it a...

We have almost all green walls. Even if it is unintentional in the bathroom (I can't wait to get rid of the hospital baby vomit green as it can be rather sickening on a bad hangover). the living ...

I hate phones all together. Maybe I had a bad experience when I was young or maybe I just hate it when my mother calls, but there is just something about them that repels me. The only reason we h...

I hate blue in rooms, but this is just out of this world! I have to say, at first glance I didn't even notice the theme, I was just thinking WOW I want to live here. Insta...
