I used to let my dog sleep in bed with me, but it was contributing to her separation anxiety, so I stopped. Plus I got hair in my mouth once which was a result of all her snuggling on the bed.

How is Metro mythical if it exists? Unicorns are mythical.

Absolut Vodka did the same thing for a Sex and the City episode. I hate it when that happens. Seems so violating. And it messes with the integrity of the show.

I second what Jennifer G. said about the IKEA plastic plates. Plus a lot of their picnicware is made in the USA, so that makes 'em even better for the environment!

My dog doesn't have accidents - or at least unplanned and messy ones - since she uses pee pads. But I would love to find a more environmentally friendly option for that. I tried my neighbor's old n...

Awww. Antique stoves. Adorable, but not very energy efficient. I don't understand why a company doesn't get into the market of making retro-style 'new' appliances.

I think the Valley is the cheapest, but depends on where. Near Ventura Blvd, not really. But I have some friends who got a 2-bedroom, 1-bath, all remodelled w/a big landscaped yard near Havenhurst...

Does that chandelier pic above the couch light up?

I think "The Teal Sea" is right. You need a bold mantelpiece above the fireplace. It just seems off balance right now. Something in black would be really nice!

Regarding #5 and housetraining your puppy, newspapers are a fine substitute for pee pads, as long as you don't have light carpet in your place - the ink can possibly get on the dog's pads and dirty...

Just a few words of warning, as this is a lot more effort than installing a nightstand that sits on the floor. I did something similar with the Mandal headboard. You have to mount each and every pi...

Love the pics! So yeah, it's kinda loud, but it wouldn't take much to tone things down a bit. The wallpaper patterns are amazing. They just don't make 'em like they used to. :-(

Hi. I'm the Nancy that posted this question. And I really wish I had a picture of my bathroom to help illustrate this! I read up on a number of web sites about putting vinyl over ceramic tiles, and...

I used to let my dog grab them out of my just-dried clothing pile. She would hold them between her paws, and tear them apart with her teeth, leaving pieces all over the place. She's o...

I'm a landlord/owner and a tenant as well, and I really don't get the impression that any renters here are bashing the owners at all. It is unfortunate that Laure is losing her apartment. It happen...

I never did find the studs in my 1948-constructed apartment. It's all plaster too. I couldn't anything with a studfinder or magnet because I think there's chicken wire in my wall. I also tried to f...

My complex actually has a designated clothesline hidden behind our garages. The only thing is...everytime I hang laundry up to dry, it comes off smelling kinda like dirt. That dust and grime angela...

MirandaJoy had a good point about the length of time you put your dog in the crate though. My general rule of thumb is max 4 hours when I'm away from home. Overnight is ok if you are around, and ca...

Canines in the wild also have crates - there they are called dens. Crates are not cruel. They are just about the most natural thing in the world to a dog, but sometimes puppies get upset when they ...
