I can't do anything if I'm on the phone -- trying to balance the set between my ear and shoulder aggravates my fibromyalgia. I can't say either task is daily, but I do have two rules: clothes must...

Sorry -- meant to say my kitchen is in the same CONDITION your pre-reno was.

I LOVE this kitchen and am completely jealous, because my kitchen is in the same kitchen your pre-reno was. I don't have contractors in the family, but I've still learned ways to save!

I bought a fixer-upper three years ago. It's been both very rewarding and incredibly frustrating. I'm not a DIYer, so I've become friends with the owners of the local appliance/fix-it store and h...

That happy dog cheers me even more than the fabric!

lcatt, I couldn't agree more with your nixing the "if you haven't worn/used in X many months get rid of it" rule. I have a wardrobe full of professional clothes I haven't worn in nearly two years ...

Rvalexa -- Diversity is a great thrift store!

My daughter has had several sets of jersey sheets, from various manufacturers, and they pill like the dickens and stretch out of shape easily. Not to mention the animal hair problem. Not for me.

I love the yellow door! I've never seen one before, but it's fabulous.

I agree with the three-day rule, although there are exceptions. When my boyfriend died, his best friend/executor came that evening, as well as my daughter. He left after two days, she after three...

A house from my state! I love it! Berto & Mary have done a great job.

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...

This reminds me of a shop where I once DIY-framed a poster. Several other ladies were there doing the same thing, and we shared the can-do spirit.

I'm with wampler -- is this his THIRD residence?!?
