If that wooden plant stand is anything like my wine rack (and it looks exactly the same), those aren't closed holes - they're open at the back, so there should be plenty or room for root developmen...

Clearly the writer has never travelled with a "feline friend".

I live in Munich and we have compost pick up once a week. I use a paper bag (from the bakery - my colleagues collect them for me) and scoop the two litter boxes every morning and then take the bag ...

I walked into Ikea the other day to pick up hardware and they didn't have it, so they took my address and mailed it to me for free within a week (from Stockholm, no less). Perhaps someone here coul...

Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!

Pickles aside, I really love that jar. And I'm also totally craving pickles now. I'm hoping on my trip to Israel to pick some olives so I can cure them here in Munich.

I actually have no objection to the concept of professional organizing. Organizational skills are far from a given, as far as I'm concerned, and some people have them in spades while others lack t...

I picked and cured my own olives last year and they turned out awesome. I should add that I was living in Israel at the time, making the whole endeavor possible. Here are the photos:

I can concede that some people need help in organizing, but I found this post a little offensive. I've helped friends organize messes like the one depicted in this post, but I've never done it whi...

I've always been aware of the environment (though not on a huge scale) and the need for recycling, but it wasn't until this past May that I became aware of how much of a global problem the environm...

We have the smaller (2x4) unit in our bedroom. We have it lying down on the long side, and I'm blessed with a neat-freak boyfriend so the clothes on there (all his) are all lined up like soldiers ...

My kitchen was once flooded from the apartment above and the wood cabinets reeked. I placed small cupcake liners filled with flavoured coffee beans (whole) on each shelf and within a week or so, t...

I say paint before. Best would be to get a few friends over for a painting party. Without anything in the way, things will go much faster.

Speaking of fridges, has anyone ever tried to paint theirs? I don't want to take it to an autoshop due to transportation and financial considerations, but I'm wondering if there is any way to make ...

You forgot option c. (c) Neither.

I can totally identify with your dilemma, although I've kind of turned a corner on my own magazine hording. I In anticipation of my fourth overseas move (I lugged my mags in the previ...

I recently saw a salad spinner shaped like one of those plastic measureing cups - tall and narrow rather than wide and massive, with a handle on the side so that it doesn't go flying. It was proba...

Your "small" entry way is the size of my living room.

Years ago Debbie Travis did a show with faux-sisal. She used old wall to wall carpet remnants that she flipped over and then painted. It's not exactly the same, but it does have the rough texture.
