I really want to hang a chandelier but can't put in in my ceiling. How do I hook it up to a plug? And any recommendations on a system for hanging it?

I moved in with my roommate and discovered none of her tupperware had lids that fit anymore. I think a key, along with buying sets, is brand loyalty. I don't actually care what brand I have, but I ...

I love hard cider. I drank a lot this summer and while at first I thought it was the wrong season for cider (cider reminding me of fall) it was so refreshing to drink in the summer. And now that it...

Since two of the things that I have longer desired to own are a bar cart and steamer truck, this bar is lovelovelove. So far, the truck was a fail (didn't fit in my car at all) and th...

Cute. Especially since guests in a kitchen are usually good friends and not strangers who see you at the super market, these actually seem more humorous to me than preachy. But what really made me ...

I love rice with cilantro but have never been sure how to make it. When I've eaten it at restaurants, the cilantro is still all green and the rice has a lime-cilantro flavor. Any ideas on that? Add...

I love bacon and chocolate and many of the bacon desserts seen lately are interesting to me, but this one seems both gross and too awkward to eat at a party. It also reminds me of my ...

I was also concerned about the bowl-shaped aerator, thanks neerland! I really like drinking out of non-wine glasses. I think it can make things festive without feeling stuffy. I rarel...

For work I'm required to have a car because I travel all around the state. For the same reasons, I love but could live without (and did for much longer than most of my friends) an Ipod.

I'm working on compiling it. I have quite the collection of vintage shot glasses and some lovely lowball glasses. No decanters, and I don't have much of a desire for them. I bought my...

Soup shots! Then I wouldn't feel ridiculous with my collection of vintage shotglasses when a) I don't do shots and b) no one measures their drinks that preciously (at least not any of my early-twen...

I'm very pro-cheap wine but have yet to enjoy a bottle of Yellow Tail. I'm very strange I know. But Trader Joe's are always a good bet. I miss my wine shop in DC where I drank the best wines for al...

These also made me think of Jackson Pollack. Growing up we made Jackson Pollack ice cream where Mom would take a carton of ice cream, peel off the sides, and cut the ice cream in slabs ("canvases."...

I was also recently surprised at Target! It was very nice to hear. I do try to keep bags in the trunk of my car and one in the big messenger bag I carry. I do best at re...

Yogurt weirds me out cause you don't know when that will be put in the frigde. We always went by our dentist's house (cause he lived close) and he gave toothbrushes and sugar-free gum....

Reading the last commenter reminded me that I really want to get rid of a bunch of cosmetics. I wear almost no makeup and basically want to keep: mascara, my two eyeliners (brown and black) the 6 c...

My first introduction to this was at a summer class at Parsons when the guest critique ripped into this poor girl (not a full design student, a then-high schooler contemplating going into design) f...

I think it works very well and I wouldn't really consider this a 'trend.' First subway tile has been around forever, and while the popularity ebbs and flows, it will be used for years to come. Seco...

Someone earlier said "with a gun, you don't have to use it, you just have to show it" Nope, sorry. If you have a gun and pull it out, you have to be ready to use it. Cause if they have a gun too, t...

I have five full jewelry boxes and my bracelets don't even fit into that! They are in an ugly IKEA fabric box. Currently they take most of the top of my sizeable dresser and look a bit messy becaus...
