I added curtains to my $30 walmart bookshelves. I am a poor college student and can't afford pretty bookshelves to hold all of my books ( and I have a ton). I bought 4 six foot basic black bookshelves and made my own curtains for them. The two shelves in the middle only have a valance across the top while each of the end cases have a valance and a long curtain to cap off the look. I didn't design the look for the curtains to close.
The overall look hides the plainness of the bookshelves and was a really inexpensive way to customize them.

My Sony blu-ray streams all of my internet content (hulu, amazon etc...). I cut the cable cord about a year ago and I love it. I accidentally found out my mom got me a roku for Christmas and I can't wait to try it out. Hello NBA pass!

Two of my close friends live right next door to me so they have a spare key. They still need to get me one for their apartment. Both lock themselves out all the time. I've had one or the other at my house waiting for the other to come home at least 4 times in the past 6 weeks.

I'm glad I can be there for them so they don't have to wait outside


Where Do You Keep Your Spare Key?

Yes! Years ago a small spice bowl managed to block the opening of my garbage disposal. It was the exact size and shape of the opening. Worse, the bowl part was down so I had nothing to grab onto and the draining water had created a suction.

I tried using a plunger, oil to get it to move and finally I tried breaking it with a hammer (they truly were unbreakable as the package suggested). Last attempt, I used my power drill to drill a hole in the bottom of the bowl. From there I was able to slip in a wire coat hanger and pry it up. On the plus side, I now have a spice bowl the perfect size for draining capers

The firerock is my favorite Kona brew.

The coconut beer that a couple of you mentioned above is the Coconut Porter made by Maui Brewing Co. Also really yummy

I've been working with the clean as you go method for a while. Make my bed every morning, before I go to bed I put away things used during the day.

The best trick to keep me on a cleaning schedule is having a few friends over every Wednesday night. We all get together for dinner at my place and all pitch in with the cooking (and washing dishes after). I can't stand having company unless my house is neat and clean. With company coming on schedule I find I don't get sidetracked or put off regular chores.

Outlets! I never thought about it until I didn't have enough of them. Earlier this year, I very briefly stayed in a studio that only had three outlets in the entire place (none in the bathroom and one in the kitchen).

Currently I'm battling neighbors who yell as their favorite form of communication. Not as in angry yelling but more of too lazy to walk from the ground floor apartment to the second floor apartment to ask how your days is.

I can't wait until my work travels are over and I can get back to my cozy little apartment

My imagination at night on overload would get the best of me. Those woods, I'm sure, are full of zombies, chainsaw murderers and an inbred family with cannibalistic tendencies.

I watch too many horror movies.

Hey! I always wanted the bug vacuum.

Then again, I live in Hawaii and we have 3-4" cockroaches that FLY.
