I downloaded feedly as a chrome extension. It will import your google reader feeds, and shares a similar look and feel. So far, so good.

I didn't figure out until college that filet mignon is steak and not fish.

The best, though, was when my now-husband/then-boyfriend was first invited to my family's Thanksgiving. My mom made him responsible for bringing deviled eggs. Now, my whole life, whenever we made deviled eggs, we always cut them on the short side. My mom did it, my grandma did it, and I did it. It's how we did it. It was always an exciting crap shoot: some deviled eggs would be super deep, some deviled eggs would have the shallowest of dips. But that's what we always did, and we liked it like that.

My husband shows up to dinner, and his eggs are cut lengthwise. My mom THROWS A FIT. "How was I to know what was how you were supposed to cut them? You trying to make me look stupid!?!?!" To be honest, until I saw his eggs, it'd never occurred to me to cut them lengthwise, either. But now, a decade later, my husband is still in charge of the deviled eggs, and my mom still gives him grief about how he cuts them.

#5 is the color of our master bedroom. It's a really great color, surprisingly very relaxing, and it goes with everything. I would love the colors of picture #2 in my kitchen.

How much did the tile for the walls end up costing?

Thank you for the resource for corbels. My husband and I just finished building this in our bedroom and have been trying to find the right size corbels. Those at Lowes and Home Depot are too small. I can't wait to look over what they have, and they seem inexpensive.

My husband and I have an '47 Cape Cod. We just installed Ikea cabinets with the Stat doors in half of our kitchen (never had cabinets where the stove and fridge are; the other side requires major demo and will happen another day). It took me about two hours to put together four cabinets. We needed a third pair of hands to help hang them (they're heavy suckers!), but they actually ended up being really easy to install. Granted, we still need to put in the countertop on the bottom cabinet, so that may end up being an issue best left to an expert, but everything else was easy as pie. They look great, and for what I paid for them, I couldn't be happier. The only problem we've had is we bought a microwave at Ikea for over the stove, and it requires a dedicated circuit and bit more installation.
