I use two 50 year mechanical sewing machine each mounted to a table (both off brands, mother's and grandmother's). Both work well with oiling and (rare) repairs. I also go to a sewing studio and it is a great way to learn more from those more experienced and to try out the fancier stitches. Best of both worlds. That said, I do like the idea of these smaller, potable ones, though, that take up much less space! DIY Project Essentials: Shopping for a Basic Beginner Sewing Machine |

Interesting...can a similar method be used for dishwashers? We've been putting lemon juice in a cup on the top part, to marginal effect. (Better but not clean.) Would love to see if this works or have AT run another similar one on dishwasher cleaning. How To Clean a Washing Machine Apartment Therapy Tutorials |

This is timely. One of my "project goal" was to revamp the living room, especially the lighting. We just got an outlet and overhead light repaired by an electrician yesterday and it feels like a different place. So we have overhead light and a floor lamp, but I am wondering about good sources for table lights. We have orange-shaded Ikeas lamp (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90155016) but mixed withe blue aquarium light, it's kind of strange.

We've cleaned radiators using a combination of a Dust Buster/compressed air, then spray bottle with water and rags (plastic bag under to catch). Very time consuming but much cleaner. If the radiators don't work and they are hot water, get a bleed key to bleed out any air that is caught in the system and put a bowl under it to catch any drips. If you can't control the entire system, ask your landlord. Lauren's January Cure: My Third Week January Cure Diary |

I started this over when we had to declutter books and media...because my bookcases were filled with papers not books! I am not quite finished yet so I enjoy hearing about the systems everyone has in place! Day 14: Get Papers & Files in Order Apartment Therapy January Cure |

ladykatey, try alstroemeria or Peruvian lilies. Irises and roses from the first week didn't make it 1/2 week but the alstroemeria bought last Friday are still going strong a week later. Our house is dry, too. Good luck! Day 13: Weekend Chores - Flowers & Bedroom Apartment Therapy January Cure |

Ouch. This is harder than yesterday and yesterday was hard.... I don't trust going all digital. I just lost 8 years of photos from Snapfish's website, without prints of many. We have been burning CDs intermittently for over 5 years and still have the cases. I can't part with me books en masse, although I might look at removing a small few I am embarrassed to own. I am considering getting rid of 10 years of Architectural Record and that would free up a lot of space. I will try but have to admit that I am old-fashioned in this regard.

I am going to frame a trio of (professional bw) family photographs taken last year. I started over the holiday with an old black IKEA frame, but it looks rough and a Sharpie didn't help. (Frame belongs in an Outbox not the wall, with scuffs and no glass!) I really like the mid-way solution mentioned by another poster: new mats and glass.

A bit overwhelming, given it's a small rowhouse from the 1890s and it feels like everything needs work, even after 5 years. Luckily, we completed a number of items (not listed) around and before the holidays. I hope I can keep the momentum going!
