I have one of these and found it helpful. I used until about a year ago, when we moved. Our apartment had slick tile on the bathroom walls, but our house has rougher stone (or fake stone/resin) s...

A friend gave us a citrus pine soy wax candle in a medium sized jar that I moved to the bathroom. I didn't think I'd like that scent combo, but I really do. It's strong, but fresh and brisk at the...
I've considered it, but how much "tidying up" is needed before the cleaning person comes? If most of the clutter is contained and the flat surfaces are (mostly) available for dusting, is that OK? ...
Love the first picture! So fresh and crisp. A breath of fresh air, and a nice transition from winter to spring. I usually pair yellow and blue with white.

I like it, and I'm adding it to my IKEA shopping list, too. We have rock salt tracking in from the back steps and porch, and this would help capture some of it.
I need more yellow in my world! Thanks for sharing your color combos.
I wonder how it would look to introduce yellow into our light blue/gray/purple/white bedroom. We don't have an...

We don't use paper towels, but I admit to grabbing and using paper napkins in a similar way as I would paper towels.

I'm also thinking about eating a colorful summer salad out of these bowls - how would you know when you were done?
Is melamine recyclable?
