I have an old tambourine that I picked up in an Egyptian bazaar hanging over mine. It doesn't seem to make a difference in maintaining the temperature.

..not that I'd put "fresh" pee or poop in there either...

Has anyone here actually put a toilet brush in the dishwasher? I'm currently raising 2 toddlers; I get that "germs" are a part of every day life. And drinking (fresh!) pee to save ...

We painted a small built-in bookcase a saturated, bright, warm yellow (BM mellow yellow) and at first it looked like too much and we assumed we'd have to repaint. But once we put the books (and so...

I am painting the back wall of the kitchen with black chalkboard paint, rearranging some kitchen art and picking out paint colors for the kitchen chairs.

Essentials: car, clothes dryer (we live in upstate NY in the mountains), land line phone (we only recently got cell phone reception). My husband was given a Blackberry by his employers; I have a c...

This weekend, we're finally having a yard sale, taking the leftovers to the Salvation Army, Goodwill or a local charity and/or the dump. I am PSYCHED.

Love this. So joyful and full of life. And while yes, this contest is supposed to focus on one "room," I love seeing that you carved out a little mom oasis for yourself. Oh-- and coo...

Fearless and fun. Love that.

Color aside, the rubber looks kind of stupid, I'm guessing it's uncomfortable, and it's also impractical. Doesn't it dry up and break down fairly quickly? Plus, I'm allergic to latex.

Fearless use of color--heck yeah! Thanks for sharing your delightful space.

in addition ,but not at the same time: tamari ume plum vinegar (i love it with olive oil on salads) mango pickle salsa yum

Oooh, boobies. Funny that they're so controversial! And yet.. flowery strap-ons? Personally, I think the top is a little silly an I'm not into the whole package aesthetically--but ...

Our house is set back relatively far from the road with enough of a wooded barrier to allow us a lot of privacy. We've got many large windows; none have curtains or blinds. We took whatever we ha...

Ick. I am itching just reading this.

I am absolutely pro container garden. The land around my house is too rocky to garden without raised beds and we've got so many critters that I'd need to put up a tall chicken wire fence, e...

We have a sweet little table that my pre-schoolers use all the time for snacks and crafts-- but it's really too small for the two of them. I decided to make them a bigger activity table using mate...

On the table: Simon Pearce glass lamp, a small stack of books (for both toddlers and adults), book of Sunday NY Times crossword puzzles and a pen, water in a glass or plastic bottle and/or sippy c...

I spent a year and a half in a place like this (except it was on a mountain) and it was a joy.

I usually love lots of color, but what a wonderful space for a summer retreat. Very easy on the eyes and I'm guessing on the soul, too.
