I have used tablecloths to "make" curtains. Am using a Dwell Studio tablecloth from Target as a curtain in my bathroom. To make them the right length I just folded over one end and put the ring clips on and hung it. Quick and easy and the prints are wonderful. Less work than the double faced tape!!

Carrie8, how cute!! Maybe he will grow up to be in law enforcement or a reporter/writer. I live in an isolated location, so my snooping is carried out by people watching when eating out, shopping, etc. Who isn't interested in what is going on around them?? Boring people, that's who!!

Please go ahead and buy a regular size bar of soap. You can purchase them cheaply enough at a drug store, or get a fancy one at TJ Maxx. I truly do not know any adult who enjoys using those slivers of soap.

I have fudge ingredients ready.

I prefer cold meatloaf sandwiches. Mayo only, never miracle whip. Bananas and oreos are the best combo ever. I also like chocolate graham crackers with peanut butter on them, eaten with a banana. Black pepper on cottage cheese. Salt on grapefruit. Eat saltines with chili by dipping them, maybe putting a bite of the chili on the cracker--never actually put a saltine in the bowl of chili.

After reading many posts on AT I should be immune from the snarky, bratty comments that abound from the readers. Being a mother of adult children I would be mortified if my daughters acted, or even felt this way regarding hostess gifts. People, for the most part, do the best they can. Why would you invite someone over and then pick apart something they brought you?? Is this a bad habit, or a character flaw? Either way it needs corrected.

I allowed two weeks notice for the wedding shower I gave yesterday. I mailed invitations and asked for a response. According to the responses 10 people were coming. In reality 20 people showed up. So. . . a couple young people got to sit on the floor. It was alot of fun, but I would have preferred an RSVP from those attending!! All the food was eaten, drinks almost gone. If it had been a formal event I would have been ticked off! It has been my experience people won't formally commit to anything. Annoying

I love this look! For a housewarming gift I once gave a small lamp made from a silver etched box. It had a black cloth shade and was so cute. My friend put it in the corner of her counter (away from the stove) placed on an old silver tray with oil and vinegar bottles, etc. She leaves it on all the time.

OMG! This is a house someone lives in. NOT a design showcase. I smiled when I saw the dishwasher open (mine seems always to be) and the trash can pulled out a little bit. This is the way people live, not exist. Thank the owners for sharing their home with us. Even those who seem not to appreciate it.

I have bamboo match stick blinds and cannot look into the house thru them. Of course, I have not walked up and stuck my face to the window. I know from the sidewalk you cannot see thru them. My dog gets on the bench under the front window and only if it is completely dark out and the living room is lit,
can you see the outline of her head. Maybe it depends on the manufacturer of said blind.
