ACK. The colors for the months are ALL WRONG. I'm mildly synesthetic -- it was stronger when I was younger, and now really only manifests itself when something is really... wrong... wi...

I did this in my bedroom (mostly b/c I wanted an accent wall and I didn't want to buy a third paint color). I chose a very light blue as my main color, so I thought it would go well with the ceilin...

I would LOVE this!

Can I buy Jon Hamm?

I love love love these! Just a little note to anyone who wants to do this -- you probably should use photocopies of precious pictures if they are to be on display. Even if a wall doesn't get direct...

I know it's more work, but I've never had luck with doubling recipes. My cookies ALWAYS taste better when made in smaller batches. So I just stick to the recipe and do it twice.

Yes, please tell me the name of the paint colors if you can -- I've been wanting something similar for my living room!

I don't like eggplant much at all, so if I am ever gifted one, I make ratatouille. It's the only way I've had it that I like it.

I think a peacock blue/teal would look really nice, and then plant flowers that bloomed red (and/or plants that turned red in the fall) for a bonus pop of color.

My favorite part is the picture you used -- I inherited a set of those fabric paints (including fabulous metal tin container). I wish I knew where those were... I hope they're still in storage. Man...

I just did this to a pair of old (actual wood but not worth much) chairs that I inherited. I used a little sandpaper to rough up the wood a bit, but certainly didn't strip the chairs. Then I used s...

My best tricks are the same thing grocery stores do... if you have a bunch of odds and ends, put something like "2 for 50 cents" or "4 for a dollar". People are more likely to buy multiples this w...

Lebkuchen! Google search different recipes... there's this one http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lebkuchen-VI/Detail.aspx but I prefer...

Pick up a nice rug that has rich reds or greens (or both -- I have an 'oriental' style rug that I got at World Market that has both colors). Add a couple throw pillows of similar colors... maybe a ...

@machete YES. You beat me to it -- I LOVED that game. I'm happy to see the King of the Cosmos (Katamari Damacy) as Co and a worm from Worms as W... though I'm confused why Heifer (Hf)...

Get a safe, and the put a painting over it, on hinges!

Bassett Furniture has a really wonderful s...

I have a Nauga . I love him -- reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are.

I use an empty 12-pack soda case (the long 'fridge pack' kind) to store my plastic bags. Works like a charm.

Hehe... the lampshade in the bottom pic... I have that! (It's from Target for anyone who might be curious). I put it on a lamp I covered in cork. Love the way it looks when lit up.
