Go Mary! And I love your cat being in both pics.

I saw Haskell's house in Southern Living and adore it.

Jessica, I received a wonderful king-sized bedset (including mattress & box springs) through Freecycle. I know it's not guaranteed, but it's worth a try.

I use a vodka-based spray I make myself with essential oils. I'm into lavender right now. Also have a window and a kick-ass ventilation fan.

Tiny Banquet is more articulate than I am and says it better, so I'll just say I agree with everything in her post.

After 46 years of filling ice trays myself, I had an icemaker installed in my freezer last year and have enjoyed every single repair-free minute of it.

Right now we have five or six, but a couple of them stay permanently in our car to haul my bf's stuff back and forth from dialysis. The ones in the house hang on hooks inside the pantry & linen cl...

Like Cara, I use homemade air freshener made with cheap vodka (thanks, Aristocrat!) and essential oils. Also a killer ventilation fan.

Diana, if you still have that dresser, clean it inside and out with a mixture of bleach & baking soda. Let it dry, then wipe it off. Varnish (not poly) inside and out. It'll get rid of the odor ...

Bepsf, I always enjoy how you skip the BS and get to the heart of the matter.

I have a cedar armoire I bought from a junk store in 1995, along with the desk I still use today. For the two of them I paid about $300, then about the same amount to have them repaired & refinish...
