I, like many commenters suggested, would hold off on big furniture until after you move. A bassinet of some type would be good to have from the start. Even if you plan on co-sleeping, it is still n...

We have three paintings (done by our son's cousins) hung over the crib. My husband screwed them into the wall, filled the holes, and painted the fill marks. We didn't use the glass in the frames.

My rental came with the ironing board closet outfitted with tiny shelves, perfect for spices http://thefeltmouse.blogspot.c...

We sold our tv at a garage sale back in July before we moved into our new house, and still have not purchased a new one. Like you, we watch movies on the computer. Once we get our living room all s...

I know this is a dumb question, but how does one link a wall heater to the thermostat? In our recently purchased home, there is a new wall heater with adjustable heat settings using a dial. The the...

Not sure about the process of refinishing laminate, but thought I would provide this link for drawer color inspiration:

Second the vote for Cliff May rancho in Long Beach. Here is another website to include in your search, mostly Long Beach: http://www.ranchostyle.com/...

I really like how it looks so far!! I would do a pot rack over the stove instead of shelves, change the light fixture, and add some curtains to bring out the colors of the tiles. Have fun!

I'm gonna say orange

We are expecting our first in a month, and are planning on using cut pieces of flannel and plain old water for wipes. I nearly fell out of my chair in the Baby Care Basics class we took offered by ...

It is my understanding, and I could be wrong, that Goodwill takes all textiles that are not sellable (pit-stained t-shirts, etc.) and sends them to be recycled/ turned into rags. I send all of my c...

I work in the solid waste industry, and I have to say biodegradable pet bags are one of our pet peeves (sorry - couldn't resist). They reflect the average person's misunderstanding ab...

We just ditched every stick of living room and dining room furniture we own to move into a mid-century bungalow. If someone could help us fill in this clean slate, we'd be very appreciative!!

The Light My Fire Spork is a major part of my day to day conservation efforts: http://thefeltmouse.blogspot.com...

Guess I'm one of the hold outs. Despite the environmentally friendly practices I have employed over the years, I still *refuse* to use alternative lightbulbs until there is a product offered that i...

I wish we could get off of which bulb is best, and focus even more effort to producing 100% clean energy. Here is a blog post I wrote about CFLs:

I use a Light My fire spork: http://www.lightmyfireusa.com/spork.html Easy to carry (for a woman, at least, with a purse) and sur...
