I only allow people to stay for the weekend, no more than 4 days tops. This includes my relatives also. Before you shun me for writing that: We had guests from Wales for a month, I'd had never met such pigs. One spat in the sink constantly (double ewww), didn't flush (triple ewwww) and would use their fingers (yes!!!) to pick up food and they left dishes and glasses in the bedroom even after I told them about the dishwasher. (I actually bought another pair of gloves to clean with while they were here.) When they asked if I could wash their clothes, I drew the line. I showed them how to use the w/d. I think of myself as a mellow person, with a slew of patience but, they were too much and they were here too long. And they took ALL the toiletries I left in a basket. Finally, there were no thank yous either. Now if someone wants to stay longer, I suggest hotels in the area.

Heather AB: If you look at the mat upside down, it says "go away".

And it's not nasty, it's rather entertaining. Where can I get that MAT????

my parents moved outside of Palm Springs from LA.they don't have as big a garden as they did in LA. So, I wanted to get him at least 2 meyer lemon trees for fathers day. Does anyone know where I can purchase them? And would anyone know if they would survive in the desert? Thanks.

The dryer is my best friend - all pillows, blankets and duvets. With a thick layer of pollen on my car, can't imagine how it would be on pillows. I have enough issues with allergies.

I did the whole picture thing with my shoes and boots. And it is really great - the problem, as mentioned in a prior post by spaceagemouse, is opening from the top. Since, I have too many shoe bins, I'm not starting over. This would be an expensive endeavor, so I will suffer silently.

OH Sorry...Thank you very much!

I'm so in my element when packing! I love it!!! I have tons of those plastic bins you can get at target or the home depot. I do it room by room. Each bin is labeled with contents and which room it will go in next. When the dressers are empty, I mark the bottom of each drawer to make sure it all goes back in the same place. Then I leave one bin empty for moving day - to store all the stuff we needed that morning and for that evening. My husband usually scoffs at me for having so many but, yet he's happy when everything is so organized. Makes the movers happy too! Happy movers make less mistakes! ;)

Here, here, christopherz!!!

Fern is the one, mentioned in a prior post, that carries this particular decal. The woman who operates it, Christine, is very helpful. I only know this cause I called regarding their wallpaper.

I like the sari idea - only cause I did it in our "mourning" room. Those windows are fabulous!

Finally organized closets that I could live with!!!!
