I have a very similar table, and just want to give you a heads up that 2 chairs on the long side do not slide in flush with the edge due to the cross piece underneath. Considering that, if you're looking to seat 6 or more, be sure to picture how chairs look with them not quite slid all the way in. I don't know if there's a modish version of a bench, but that might be an option for the long sides. Dining Chair Suggestions for Inherited Carved Wood Table? Good Questions |

Totally understand this issue! Having grown up in a house with old wooden steps that were on the shallow side, and having moved into a newer home with completely carpeted steps has made me slip too many times. I think I'd contribute it to the softened edges. With wood, the edge is clearly defined, and my feet know what they're touching. On the carpet it's all soft and fuzzy so the edge can come without warning. Slipping, Sliding & Safety: Carpeted vs. Wooden Stairs |

My brother lived in a small town for a while, and one night noticed someone in his yard. He asked the neighbor about it the next day who said it was an old lady from the other side of town.... stealing a few stalks of his rhubarb. She'd been doing it for years! Stop!

My mum, who is fastidious on the cleanliness of her kitchen, always lines the drip pans (under the burner part) with tin foil. That way, when the inevitable boil over occurs, you just pull of the tin foil and reline it. No scrubbing necessary... and you don't need to replace the drip pans... ever!

When I was in college, I desperately needed a face scrub but had absolutely no extra money for such things. I ended up using just granulated sugar and a bit of water.... it worked so well that I've continued to use it for the past 7 years. I did find that my skin would get dry and then over oilify itself, but a tiny bit of olive oil applied after the scrub seems to even things out.

Too funny! I was just frustratingly trying to see the next post in my feeds due to the white cuteness which is our kitty, Busaba, standing impatiently on the laptop keyboard. And then, when I finally catch a glimpse around her, this post! |

It's just my husband and me, and we run the dishwasher about once every 3 days or so. If it isn't full at that point, I do a rinse cycle, just to make sure things get clean when I do run it later in the week. Am I Wasting My Dishwasher? Good Questions |

Fresh mint hot/iced tea is fantastic. Cut off a couple of full stems and throw them in a pot of boiling water. After about 5-10 mins it'll be fully steeped. Just pull out the stems (much easier than straining a mess of chopped up or dried leaves) and serve hot, or with ice. Weirdly enough, its also excellent mixed with lemon verbena.

I have found that misting the popcorn with water and shaking on the salt as it's popping out of the air popper works great. No extra calories, and the salt sticks! How Do I Get Seasoning to Stick to Hot Air Popped Corn? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |
