I love everything in this tote!

I'm hosting for eight. But because of our new Munchkin (age four months), tomorrow -- yes, tomorrow -- I am moving from our tiny railroad 1br to a much-bigger 2br. Obviously I am procrastinating ri...

I lived in a similar setup in a rent-stabilized 1br for 3 years, and it enabled me to save a downpayment for a co-op even when I was making next to nothing. Good for you for living within your mean...

I have a simple shelf from Home Depot mounted on decorative brackets above my door inside the bathroom. It holds my spare towels and a basket containing extra toiletries, toilet paper, etc. It's ha...

I lived in our reno (kitchen, plus apartment-wide electrical and flooring) throughout. My husband did most of the work himself, so we were able to control the timing of the work, the mess, the prod...

We're definitely in the "everything in its place" mode right now, but we know it'll be more communal once the little guy is crawling. We think we have the storage thing figured out (a minimum of st...

Ariel -- good point -- we had found a new bassinet mattress for the heirloom but had not realized that the solid wood sides are not considered SIDS-safe. We vetoed it just based on the large footpr...

We originally planned to do just that -- I have an heirloom cradle/bassinet, beautiful but on the large side (if we want to use a bassinet, we need to use the family one -- politics). But it's a ti...
