I have a bin similar to the ceramic Plow & Hearth one listed and there is no odor or fruit flies ... unless you leave scraps sitting in there for over a week. In the past, I used the freezer method until a housemate decided it was disgusting. So, I guess having composting scraps sit on the countertop is better? Neither bothers me as long as there are no fruit flies! Best Small Space Compost Bins 2012 Apartment Therapy's Annual Guide |

The Sur la Table bin is really cute but speaking from experience, a handle is a MUST. I am typically carrying mine down stairs to the larger compost bin and usually have recycling, etc. in tow as well. Form should follow function and not having a handle makes this a loser IMHO.

I meant to leave the comment below for you! I'm sure the glass would look awesome but for me, would have been much harder to implement in my space (not to mention, more $$$). I did the chalkboard and I LOVE it. Such a great transformation. There are other photo of chalkboard backsplashes on AT, search! DIY Kitchen Backsplash Inspirations Home Edit |

I loved the chalkboard paint idea and since I'm in a rental, thought it would be the least intrusive on the property and easiest to implement. So I made it happen today (chevron pattern and all) and I love it! The wall was white and dirty previously and this makes a great impact, is fun and I imagine, will hide dirt better. Cabinets, appliances and countertop items pop really nicely. http://instagram.com/p/R6PtBLiV3M/ http://instagram.com/p/R6QGFGCV3f/ @kassgood DIY Kitchen Backsplash Inspirations Home Edit |

I did this with an old glass mug that says "DAD's" I picked up at a thrift shop. http://www.flickr.com/photos/askdzign/3718894015/in/set-72157615152097676/ Apartment Therapy Chicago | 5 Uses for a Collection of Liqueur Glasses |

Yes, I have thought of that Jezebella. But, for years it was stored out of sight in a cabinet, and well, what's the use in that? It's so pretty, I wanted to see it. The wattage is pretty low and for the most part it only gets a bit of sunlight through the top of that door - and we are on the first floor so it's minimal.

Cute! Harder when you have to put it all in a larger collection with that of roommates. There's a great store in San Fran that sells all sorts of vintage cooking gems. It's called Cookin' and is in the Lower Haight on Divisadero.

Haha I had to laugh about sleeping in your workout clothes. I also did a bootcamp last year at 6:30AM during Boston winter and it was so hard to drag myself out of bed knowing I would be facing brutal cold AND a hard workout! Maybe that would have helped!

chalkboard paint! just kidding ... how about wallpaper? there are some really great wallpaper designs out there. Though this birch tree paper (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/good-questions/good-questions-what-is-this-wallpaper-015132) has apparently "been everywhere lately" I think it would look nice in your space. Though a little pricey. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Ideas for Finishing Fireplace DIY? |
