The toilet in our main bathroom is old, so I usually let it mellow. But even with AC, the room gets a lot of sunlight during the afternoon, and sometimes the mellowing can smell nasty.

The nearest store to me is 70 miles away, but if it's anything like the KC store, it's worth the drive, even with gas at $4 per gallon! What a great post!

I have to say, I get really tired of everyone harping on cold washes. I've done cold vs. warm washes, and I've consistently found that stains and odors don't come out in cold. On the other hand, ...

It's beautiful! Just by coincidence, I'm doing three rooms of my house over in Benjamin Moore's Blue Lake -- this pillow would be a perfect accessory!

I personally like Action, but if I won, I would give it to a friend with nine-month-old twin boys and let her pick.

Cab Sauvig is my fav wine, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this article.

Y'all have been reading my mind again about what I need! This would help me cope with two small, shedding dogs and an S/O who can't seem to remember where the trash can is.

This would be perfect for my nephews! I can see both of them wedged in it together!

ValHalla, I remember when NoVa was a nest of smaller homes -- now it's like you said, monstrosities! I live on the other side of the state, but have made many trips to NoVa and WDC over my 46 year...

We bought a large house two years ago -- 2500 sq ft, with a detached 3-bay garage -- and I wish nearly every day we'd gone small. But my S/O wasn't willing to take the leap -- he still believes bi...

Can't beat strawberry pie with a stick!

I know they'd probably hate me for saying this, but seeing what Keith & Brent have done with such a tiny space makes me regret living in a big 70s rancher in the country.

My spatulas -- they come in handy for everything. I scramble eggs for myself every morning, flip hamburgers, stir sauces ... they're indispensable.

Today I'm making a simple drink, cabernet sauvignon & ginger ale. It's so good and perfect for sitting on the porch and watching the grass grow.

Basil to sprinkle on my tomatoes!

Base in the living room, with speakers in the kitchen & master bedroom. My SO is in a wheelchair and doesn't get around easily, so this would make his life more enjoyable.

Horizon 12 is screaming my name!

Scones ... cranberry orange are my favorite, although it depends on the type of tea. With Lady Grey, I prefer something not as sweet, so would probably go with lemon scones ... or perhaps even pou...

I subscribed to CR online for a year, but found that too little was available to make it worth my while (they don't duplicate copy between the magazine and online). I've read ShopSmart a few times...
