When I was growing up, my family had a pool and the liner was black, it was awesome! But then we got a hole in the liner that was irreparable and we had to get a new liner installed. The company we used didn't have the black option and we had to go with ho-hum blue like everyone else. It just lost that bit of pizzaz. Splashy Style: Dark-Bottom Pools |

I just returned to living alone from having my sibling and his wife living with me for 6 months. It so freeing to be able to run around the house in varied stages of undress in the morning or while getting ready, chat with my cat while taking a bath with the door open, dance to movies in the living room, and just be myself. However, while these habits change when I have guests, they don't change that much when I have a boyfriend over, he can see me in my varied states of undress ;) What are Your Quirky, Live Alone Habits?

I would constantly rearrange the dishwasher when my brother and sister-in-law lived with me. She just had a different method and it didn't maximize the amount of dishes you could get effectively clean. It bugged me, so I just quietly rearranged daily. In cases where the dishwasher will be filled, washed, and filled again in order to clean up after a party, I'll take all the help I can get. Dishwasher Wars: What Are Your Loading Rules? |

ditto silverfire4200. rim down. even in a closed cabinet, cat hair is pervasive and I hate having to wash my glasses every time I bring them out to use them. To keep the rims from touching the cabinet, I have a cabinet liner that I replace periodically. Stacking Glasses: Face Up or Face Down? |

As an avid knitter for the past 5 years, my family received their fair share of completely awful scarves and misshapen hats at the outset of my knitting career. They smiled, thanked me, and quietly placed the more awful of the scarves in the back of a closet somewhere. As my skills have improved, so has the appreciation of my family as they now receive items knit with skill and love to garner compliments from passers-by (I've been told).

I would think stereotypical "man colors" would be "green" "darker green" "yellower green" "dark grey" "another grey" "brown grey" etc. Paint Color Names for Men |

Looks more like they used crochet to make it look knit. It's much easier to work around the framework with a hook than two needles. DIY Midcentury: Knitted Eames Chair ReCraft |

Total cloth napkin nerd. I have a stack with enough cloth napkins for 30 people or more, which comes in handy at my parties. They mostly all go into a stash together, so it's the luck of the draw. I have very few tablecloths or placemats mostly because I don't have too many places to store them. On Table Linens: A Closet Full or a Drawer Full? |
