The kitchen is too monotone gray/beige for my tastes, but it is quite lovely with its clean lines and so much usable cabinet space. I love all the big drawers as opposed to regular cabinets. My mot...
My entire living room set and bedroom set are "placeholders". I bought them secondhand years ago when I moved to the city for my new job.
The bedroom set will become the guest room se...
I might give the pear butterscotch pie a try. Pears are so wonderful. Pears with brown sugar even more so!
I've had buttermilk pie numerous times but I wouldn't be able to convince my ...
I have plain old lemon Ajax and two t-shirts with oil spots. I think I'll give it a shot. If it bleaches it, oh well, it was already ruined from the grease spot.
This is the one major repair I need to do to my 'new' old house. There's something wrong with the lever where the water won't turn off unless you force the main portion where the lever connects. ve...
I have the generic off-white tiles that seem to be ubiquitous in starter homes. I vacuum and then mop them with floor cleaner. I'll get down and scrub with a sponge if there's something sticky on t...
My house has a decent sized hallway in it. Not as grand as that one, but I think I may place two bookshelves in it with a bench inbetween for putting on/taking off my shoes.
Why not pop a cookie or two in the toaster oven? It might not be instant gratification, but the wee little ovens do heat up fast and cookies only take about 10 minutes to bake.
Agreed, that kitchen is a pretty good size for an apartment. They have full sized drawers and lots of cabinets; I didn't have that luxury when I rented. Perhaps if they decluttered, they'd have mor...
I don't wear shoes in my own house, but I don't expect guests to take theirs off unless they want to.
As for this:
As soon as I find a way to keep cat litter in the box...
I'm not a fan of IKEA's particle board and veneer stuff, but some of their solid hardwood items are quite nice. Like most people, I prefer well-made solid wood furniture and usually turn to resale ...
Very clever use of minimal space. Since the ladder has a niche, it's not in the way as I originally feared.
If my starter home becomes a long term home, I would love to tear out the so...
I honestly don't like oranges or orange-flavored foods all that much (unless it's bergamot oil in my tea). I can tolerate orange juice, but I don't drink it in general. I'd rather drink coffee or t...
I use the express lane next to the self check out lanes usually. The one at my store is almost always empty because everyone seems to think they'll get out faster through the self checkouts. It's s...

You can buy really cheap laptops these days for under $400. And an ASUS touchscreen tablet is $500.

Does it promote healthy living by having no place to store your food???

Thumbs up to the idea of using majolica pottery instead of edible foods as decor. Seems so very wasteful to me.

I have that dresser. And it sorely needs a makeover. Your dressers look absolutely lovely with the stain.

I wouldn't want one now, but I loved my parent's sectional as a kid. It made the best forts!

I love the green walls! Is the paint color custom or can it be found under a particular name at the paint store?
