etsy page has no merchandise... seems dormant...

Make your own nut butters. You choose what goes in, including spices, and it makes great gifts. The Cuisinart makes it as smooth or chinky as you want it, and no stirring is necessary. My current favorite includes roasted salted cashews, honey, Saigon cinnamon and walnut oil.

Please change the post heading and remove the "dairy-free". Thanks!

I made one with galvanized metal from Home Depot. A big sheet was around $5. The tins I got online with a thin magnetic base on each. I tried gluing magnet onto the base of tim I got from a website. Huge mess and hard to remove from the metal. Put a painted wooden frame around the whole thing using scrap wood. Very inexpensive and looks/works great!

Go bold with color. It'll make you smile every time you arrive at home, even on overcast and rainy days.

sooooo cool. perhaps the coolest post ever.

I coupon only for items that we already use. Too many people use coupons for things they wouldn't buy in the first place. Makes no sense.

great space! i too am wondering what the take your breath away feature is.

I do a variation of dumpster diving. Twice a year, neighborhoods have city cleanups that will take anything except cars. People put out great unwanted furniture and outdoor living items. Different neighborhoods have different pickup weeks. I am selective about the neighborhoods I cruise for good trash, and it hasn't been doused with food or icky waste.

I'd like to know costs not to slam the renovator but to decide which of the changes are within my budget. Materials lists would be great as well, so we know what to shop for.
