I want to like oatmeal but the look and texture just turn me off. I grew up on Cream of Wheat and grits. I can only eat grits the way my mother always served it when I was a child: ...

I love this room. It's serene and so comfy looking. I envy the cat.

I've woken up many a night and spent fearful minutes trying to determine if the footsteps I hear are in my apartment or the people upstairs. Luckily, it's always been the latter. The...

I live in a 350" SF studio, so storage is at a premium. I have more tools than I should, but like to try to do my own repairs and they've accumulated. I keep my tools in two stackable...

I love the art above your bed. Can you please give info on those - I want them!

Wow, marfa - I have one of these clothes dryer things in my bathroom. It's inside a little closet attached to the wall and has a little rope so you can raise and lower it. I never use it cause th...

I purchased a 5" shower curtain tension rod from Home Depot. It's in the bathroom over the bathtub. It's great for hanging laundry not appropriate for the dryer, and anything I hand wash.

I use a vinyl/oilcloth apron when I wash dishes or I end up with my shirt wet in the gut area. I don't use it for cooking - afraid it may melt if I get too close to the stove/oven.

How about painting the doors different colors? Or getting a stencil and painting the word EXIT on the appropriate door, and CLOSET or whatever on the other doors. Or you can purchase ...

I go once a week. Luckily, I'm one block away from a large Stop & Shop supermarket and take my shopping cart.

My apartment building was built in 1913. There is a metal box with a door bolted to my bathroom wall. Inside are 6 wooden dowels that can be raised/lowered, and fanned out. I'm gue...

Going by previous seasons, this show doesn't test the contestants on their on-camera technique until the last episode. Unlike The Next Food Network Star, where they critique them every episode.

I used the Victor electronic traps about a year ago, when I was finding mouse droppings on top of my stove. They are great - bait with peanut butter, leave where you've seen mouse spoo...

I've seen waterproof cushions for outdoor furniture at Home Depot.

I bought a product called Grease Bullet - it's a little tablet that you dissolve in hot water. You then soak your crusty pots and pans in the solution - claims it will remove the cooked on grease ...

Sorry - should have proofread my post. I meant to say: Now my CONCERN:

I live in a small studio, so I have a tiny kitchen. Recently, the landlord remodelled, putting in a new sink. I have a kitchen cart that I use for storage/counterspace between the sink and stove....

Rant - you may want to skip this. I live in a prewar building - guessing it may be 80 years old. My landlord decided to update my kitchen, taking out my old fashioned white double si...

Thanks for the answers. The vent looks plastered to the wall and has been painted over so many times, I was afraid to try prying it away w/o causing major damage to the wall. I susp...

I live in a 40 year old building. I suspect that the apartments were divided into smaller sizes back in the day. I found this strange vent in the coat closet. It's eye-level to me, ...
