I like (love) the tiles and floor and maybe even your countertops, although I can't tell exactly what they're made of.
What style and paint colors have you used in the rest of the hous...
Have you decided what style(s) you like? Country? Modern? Earthy? None of the above? You definitely need counter space on the stove-side of the kitchen, but deciding your favorite style will h...
Amen to Battling Betty's and the Editor's comments! Practise saying "Oops," or, like my husband likes to say, "Good enough for who it's for"! I'll add that, if you ever make a cake that looks lik...
I've had the same question that HelloChloe posted: What about my water consumption when I wash my rags? I actually use both cloth and paper towels in the kitchen, depending on the chore. I enjoy ...
I've gotten rid of my yogurt containers and oatmeal cylinders through my local Freecycle group. Right now, I'm saving them up for an Art teacher. I also have a contact for our hole-y jeans. Does...
Much to my own disbelief, I'll be 60 in a few days. I've probably spent 53 of those years tearing things apart (e.g. my first bike) and painting. My DIY outlook came from my parents. The one thi...
Check out the entire house tour. This home can be an inspiration to those who are afraid to just-jump-in-and-do-it! Actually, save the site as a "favorite" so that, next time you want to do somet...
Black vs. white can get confusing: I hope that my black jeans make *me* look smaller, but I know that black paint can make a room look larger by making the walls visually recede. Now that I think ...
I agree with Spanky. I've removed wallpaper in way too many houses using different wallpaper-removing-liquids. I've messed up a lot of sheetrock, but nothing that wasn't fixable. This past year,...
Twice a year, I'd haul out sheets for family get-togethers, and I thought they (the sheets, not the guests) smelled musty. At one point, I washed all the linens and hung them, individually, in a g...
To Jalapeno: Of course you can! Especially if it's your house. Keep in mind that, if your bedroom door is usually open (opened into the bedroom), the hallway color is going to spend a lot of time...
Yikes. My very first cookbook is probably considered "vintage" now. As for cooking from vintage recipes, at holidays, my husband and I like to cook from his mother's folder of family favorites, s...
Kelee Katillac's book, *House of Beliefs,* helped me be aware of things that are important to me so that my home would reflect me, not what I've seen in a magazine. After reading her book, I start...
What a fun kitchen! What look do you like? Traditional? "Candy jar"? We have a few ceilings that slope down low like yours, and I've painted the ceilings the same as the walls. It seems less c...
I'm with erinpearce. Paint samples. Colors can trick even the best "colorists." Different parts of the country, different weather, different rooms in the house, different walls in the same room,...
We absolutely love our IKEA kitchen (and bathroom). We combined Akurum (Nexus, birch) and Varde (free-standing, plus wall-mounted uppers), tying them together with the same hardware. We have conc...
I'm going off on a tangent here, but, if you like fish, here's an idea I borrowed from a kids' craft book: I called several grocery stores until I found a meat department that sold fish-with-their-...
I had no idea how damaging smoke is until I bought a house for rental property. For three months, I kept a crockpot going w/vinegar and spices while I used 20 gallons of oil-base Kilz, sealing, th...

Helloooo! Licking! Licking BEFORE the Labrador retreiver finds it!

Oops! I just did a Re-Nest search for "prescription bottles" and found some solutions!
