I got some cute round woven baskets at Ten Thousand Villages a few years ago. I'm not sure if they still have them, but it's worth a look, and fair-trade to boot.
I think as long as there is adequate airflow from the room to the thermostat, like with the tambourine, the temperature at the thermostat should be the same as the average air temperature in the ro...
Is there a way to tell pre-opening whether the cork is actual cork or if it's that plastic foam stuff? Maybe I'm just not buying high-enough quality wine. :)
You could go with positionable track lighting, with non-halogen bulbs. I know they make some neat track lights with long flexible necks, but I don't know the name. Alternatively, you could get so...
I really don't think this room is that bad. It's obviously a student's room, and I know from experience that school projects/papers take priority over cleaning (unless I'm cleaning in order to put...
It does look a whole lot nicer than a surge protector/power strip, but I'm wondering how practical it is. If you're holding the plug already to turn it, why not just pull the plug from the socket?...
I've been living alone for almost three years now, and I absolutely love it. The freedom to do whatever I want with my space is just wonderful, especially after living with two guys who wouldn't l...
You can always make a tawashi! They suds up like a sponge, but you can throw them in the washing machine like a dish towel. Plus, you can use scrap yarn to make it! Here is a pattern for the one...
It really bothers me that the twist is backwards. As mike said, it should be right-handed to represent DNA. If it was done right, I think I would like it as a sculptural piece.
That sofa is just awesome! I've worked with MDF before, and that has to be ungodly heavy, even in sections. Just to clarify, though, MDF isn't exactly 'green': the sawdust they use isn't from mil...
My parents distill their water (boil into steam and condense back into another container). Their water comes straight from a well in a river valley, and it contains a lot of nitrates and other dis...
I've been doing this for a while now, and I usually brew a larger batch and store it in the fridge for multiple days. I've kept my cold-brewed coffee for up to a week without much difference in fl...
Right now I'm working on crocheting x-mas presents for my family. The next project up is a DNA scarf for my dad (he's a science teacher). I also have five or six projects hibernating, including a...
I think it depends on whether you want to draw attention to the tv or away from it. A doily, whatever color, will draw the eye to the intricate stitchwork, and bright colors will draw even more at...
Love! I've crocheted so many doilies over the years, because I love the challenge and the intricacy of the stitches, but most of them are stored in a box in my closet. I agree that more than one ...
From my experience with cattle tanks, I don't think a horse trough would drain completely, as the water would collect in the seam between bottom and side wall instead of heading toward the drain. ...
I think 'weeds' are generally ok in a compost pile, as long as they're not invasive species. For example, dandelions or nettles would be perfectly fine to compost, but kudzu or water hyacinth is a...

Is it just me, or do the mini-blinds look more 'alien abduction' than 'sunlit window'? It's slightly creepy.

I must steal that colored pencil idea!
