A friend introduced me to this many years ago, but not in such a "fancy" way. She just stuck a tea bag in her water bottle all the time. My favorite is raspberry tea with a bit of lemon.

Make your own! It's pretty easy, and I suggest this fabric: http://quilthome.com/product_info.php/cPath/30...

I'm not the best at the cabinet doors thing. In my defense, I was raised in a house that didn't have many. I remember taking them down with my dad to repaint them, but then my mom couldn't decide o...

I'd also recommend a light sanding of the ceramic surface before you spray on the primer. Last year I purchased two very ugly brass lamps at a thrift store, sanded them a little, sprayed them...

Chester: I have found that this clause in a lease is usually insurance based. An poorly installed light fixture can burn a place to the ground, and just because we've all seen it done on tv d...

i agree, of all the kitchen tasks, I have never found this one to be difficult... can you show me how to poach an egg without a little cup to contain it?

perfect timing! I own a beautiful red sofa and am in the middle of painting my apartment. For the wall behind my sofa I chose a soft cool grey, and they look great together!

Just make sure there's a clothes iron at your destination!

This is a great idea to do with children too. I remember seeing a list on the fridge at my bf aunts house once and I asked her what it was. They called it "Dinner Ideas" but same thing. They ...

This was just what I needed today.

herbs, flowers, anything alive. I think it's too small to really feel comfortable out there, so make it great and enjoy it from inside the room. Hopefully you have some other space in your home wit...

I just moved... last week actually, and I've already gotten rid of the boxes. They were free... paying for boxes is something I have never done. I passed mine on to someone who is moving at the end...

I just went through a similar dilema, I have a red sofa that I love but figuring out what to paint the walls was tricky. I ended up choosing a dark grey for an accent wall (the wall beh...

if you don't want to go bold with them, I would suggest painting the trim white to match your furniture and the doors the color of your other walls.

This is a perfect summary. It should be made into a magnet and put on the refridgerators of rental suites.

fabric and corn-starch! google it. plus, it's nice and easy to take down when the time comes.

floor to ceiling curtains in a bold fabric with sheers behind. also, consider hanging the curtain rod from the ceiling, it's often easier than drilling into the exterior wall.

while I do think this these photos are lovely, it doesn't seem like a REAL person actually lives here. Very staged looking. I don't know that I could ever be comfortable living in a display like th...

Laundry Machines get there own rooms? Neat idea! Imagine having space for a whole room devoted to laundry doing! My machines are stacked and in the bathroom. I'm lucky to even have my own ma...

I can't help but comment about this: the knives in the block in the picture are in the wrong way! They should be sharp side up to keep the edge longer.
