I definitely took it into consideration. I probably would have chosen the same color as one of my neighbors, but thought it would look odd to have two of the same color houses in a row.

Washing a duvet is a project?!?

Thought I clicked on the wrong blog for a moment there...

I have pull out shelves. They are very shallow though and drive me nuts. Things are always falling off and ending up behind or underneath. If I were designing a kitchen, I'd go with pull out drawer...

I passed this query along to my sister-in-law who is a Tupperware dealer. Even SHE didn't know what it is!

I put a shelf over the door in my bathroom. It's great for storage.

I mostly buy my oats from the bulk bins, but if I run out I'll occasionally pick up a tin of McCann's. I have a used tin on my counter to hold spoons, spatulas, etc. But I hadn't thought about othe...

Found this video of a tiny Hong Kong apartment while looking for more images of the Vancouver micro-lofts. The video is incredible.

No link??

The videos have been removed. Sad.

I keep the thermostat set at 55 in the winter unless I have guests. I could live colder than that, but I definitely don't want to!

Definitely recaulk. It's cheap, easy, and makes a huge difference in how clean the bathroom looks. Can you replace the medicine cabinet with just a mirror or at least something a little narrower? I...

Good grief. That is hideous.

I'm annoyed by the fact that the links take you to the AT marketplace page instead of linking to the sites!

I recently bought almost the same thing for my mother with Alzheimer's! It helps her keep track of day, date, etc.

I have a snowblower, so I often take care of my neighbor's drive if there is a heavy snowstorm. The last time they gave me a very nice bottle of wine. It definitely is about the gesture.

One more note regarding aesthetics... my bedroom is upstairs now. My old place was quite small and the bedroom was right next to the kitchen and dining room. Guests used to see my bedroom frequentl...

Spring, summer, and fall, I sleep with just the fitted sheet on the bottom and a lightweight feather duvet in a cotton cover on top. In winter, I put my duvet in a flannel cover, and I...

I definitely should wipe down the sinks more often than I do. And I don't have a good place for my mail, so it tends to pile up in the entryway. Winter can be tough with various pairs of mittens, g...

Blech, blech, blech. Love Le Creuset. REALLY dislike the purple.
