Got the assignment done yesterday afternoon mere minutes before the Week 2 assignment went online - nothing like a deadline to motivate you! I know that the second week will take me a looong time, ...
I'd contemplated making drapes out of drop cloths, but bought linen-blend drapes instead and I'm glad I did. In my small room I felt the excess of "rustic" fabric would be overwhelming.
I kind of like the idea of doing this on a smaller scale. The ottoman could be a nice place to rest your feet or seat another guest in a party situation and I think in a streamlined room (especiall...
I don't have this sofa - but when I was younger we had an almost identical sofa/daybed in our basement that was some sort of relic from my dad's college days. Although it was an pristine condition ...
I am addicted to making floor plans - it drives my husband crazy. : D
I prefer using the computer, though. I usually just open up Adobe Illustrator and begin my virtual rearranging. An...
Hopefully things have changed in the 15 years since I have been taking my lunch to elementary school, but my mom always packed things I liked to eat that other kids were horrified by. Bagels, mushr...
I wonder how much of our perceptions are colored by regional experiences. I live in a midwest city where I have thankfully never experienced bedbugs or pest-infested furniture. I know these things ...
Wow does this bring back memories... this was one of my favorite things to eat as a child and I had almost forgotten it! Thanks for the delicious reminder!
Everyone prefers their own filth to others'. We even prefer the smell of our own B.O. It's natural (and I mean that very literally) to be "turned-off" by this, even if, relatively speaking, all of ...
Jamiealyse: My area Hobby Lobby stores carry these cutters, which means if you print a copy of the 40% off coupons they often have on their website, one of these cutters is only a couple dollars. I...
Thanks to this post I tried jicama for the first time at lunch! I had picked one up at the grocery store but I left it chilling in the fridge 'til I could figure out what to do with it.
We used the first one pictured (the three rounded rectangles) for cutting bread to toast and use for canapes for my wedding a few months ago.
When you are making several hundred of an...
I want to make one of these so badly but I don't know how to knit. Do you think it would look absolutely terrible crocheted? Or perhaps there is some other technique I am overlooking - maybe sewing...
How funny that you mention dance - I have an ice dancing costume for the cha cha congelada that is THIS color.
I think the pink looks really nice next to the grey countertops. The gre...
The great thing about furniture like this is that it can be used in multiple ways. I agree that the bar carts pictured would make beautiful (or fun!) tea carts. I, for one, used to have a coffee ca...
I have only been *served* breakfast in bed once, but that doesn't stop me from frequently enjoying breakfast in bed! It's really not that dangerous if you utilize the nightstand or dresser for your...
I am in favor of making the noodle portion of the dish healthier, but isn't the sodium-laden seasoning packet kind of the point of Ramen Noodles? Mmmm.... I often throw away the noodles and top oth...

I really love the shelves hung right on the "chalkboard". Everything you need is right at your fingertips! Great job.

I love turkey bacon and prefer it to "real" bacon. You're right, though- it's (literally) a different animal. I've even hooked my fiance on the stuff!
