Mine is only $126 per year for up to $15,000 coverage with a $250 deductible. I don't have a lot of valuables, so this is enough coverage for me. The peace of mind is worth every penny.

Beautiful! I'm green with envy. My sofa is horrible, but I have no sewing skills.

Okay, here we go again. "We are one of those people?" I'm sorry. I just can't stand it. If you're going to insist on using "we," how about just saying, "We scrub out the sink every time...?" ...

Hmm, I decorate more to camouflage the dog HAIR than to camouflage my dog!

Well, I'm afraid I haven't been so respectful of my fish. They get a burial at sea, so to speak. My darling little Jack Russell Terrier is buried under a tree at my parents' cottage. They will o...

I adore my Miele. It is so quiet, but don't let that fool you. It picks up everything. I have a dog who sheds like mad and a boyfriend who is allergic to said dog. I vacuum before he arrives, a...

I'm in Ann Arbor all the time. Any locals know what road this is on? I'd like to drive past and see how it looks in real life.

Great tip! I have been known to come sprinting with paper towels when my lab starts to heave, but I don't always make it in time. I hadn't yet found a great product, so I will definitely give thi...

I second Ter's opinion. "We" is okay sometimes, but it just doesn't work in every context. Thank you for realizing that! Also, love the tips. I would never have figured any of that out myself, ...

I'm interested!

I have to say, I've been weirded out for quite some time about the way that all the bloggers here use "we," even when it's clear they're only talking about themselves. Since WE live alone? WE are...

Love the art in the office! Is it a custom work or something available commercially?

Love it!! Where is the shower curtain from?

I love the way you were able to divide it into distinct areas. Very, very cool! So much useful area, and yet it doesn't feel crowded at all.

For cleaning the tiles, I suggest 1) a Mr. Clean magic eraser and 2) Clorox bleach pen. If the magic eraser doesn't take those stains off, use the bleach pen. It's a gel, so it will stick to the ...

Goo gone didn't budge it? Hmmm. I've had good luck with Windex taking off adhesive, but it can also take off the finish on wood, so use caution. You could also try heating it up with a hair drye...

I finally got the slideshow to work, thank goodness! I think I'm in love... with your house. It's so vibrant and gorgeous! I love it all! Maybe I missed it, but what's the source for that aweso...

I haven't been able to see the slideshows all day either. I didn't realize how much I counted on them!

For some reason, the house tour links aren't working for me today. Is anyone else having this problem or is it something with my computer?

My parents have a front loading washer and dryer, and it's bad enough to convince me that I don't want one, efficiency aside. The rubber gasket never dries out. Water pools in there, and it defin...
