Long plastic lighter, like for lighting a barbecue. --It hangs next to the stove where it's easy to reach --I don't have to store or fumble with a box --My hands are six in...

Wow, you have a fabulous ceiling and moldings. I am envious. And your windows give the room some natural symmetry! Even more envious... But you have: Too much furniture...

The Maestro looks like it will go with anything and is lovely. One thing I would suggest is going into the store and making sure whatever you choose is a true white. I chose Noritake'...

Not that I have this at all under control myself, but: --Figure out a *limited*, neat storage system for things. Once your Box for Corks is full, you either can throw more corks out without ...

That's beautiful, and could replace half my kitchen. I desperately want it. That also costs *cough, hack* 1000 British pounds. I am thinking it is not in my future.

Well, given that they've got the three primary colors (in exactly their true colors, at least on my monitor), I'd imagine that, yes, people will be incorporating them into their interiors. ::grin::...

I'm pretty sure the mattress is just foam, but it's very firm. I was surprised at how comfortable it is given that firmness. However, my mother, who has a bad back, found that it was ok for eight...

For sachets that don't require sewing, I like making lavender wands. You only need a length of ribbon, and (after the third or fourth one) they look really sharp and take about a minute each to make.

Wow. Very nice! (And I really like that Gregory uses the first person singular for this article where appropriate...)

H L I: You're not the only one. I'm at a loss as to where that propeller would "balance" a space, and can only think, "not anywhere in that picture".

My first response: Wow, that's beautiful! Second: I bet that's a pain to clean. Third: Oh dear, is that *white* grout?

I can't speak to the relative sound quality, but Roku's SoundBridge radio has been out for several years, and I've really enjoyed owning it.

cycpiper, my wedding china was Sweet Leilani! We also got a set of casual china, that I loved as well. But eventually I gave the casual china to some friends - they were thrilled to have a full m...

I make sure that the books at the ends are deep enough to be stabilized by both the front and the back bar, so no books fall out the ends. That's the extent of that planning.

I have cork in my kitchen. It is really nice to walk and stand on and easy to keep clean. In any space where there's a possibility of major water spills you have to have it professionally sealed ...

I love it. I don't know that I could live in it forever, but I love it. I think trying to soften it just breaks the concept.

Wow, le_sacre, that's amazing!

I'm not sure if this is the model I have (not at home, don't remember the manufacturer or size):

--A Cajun restaurant in Seattle used to have big jars of pickled okra on the table to snack on while waiting for the meal. So very very good, and you avoid the slime (which I don't mind but others...

This will end up being a lot of work, so start small. Maybe: --One weekend clear out all the trash. Wear gloves; watch out for needles and broken glass. --The next weekend clea...
