SubwayKnitter's Profile

The bathroom floor would be the last place in the house that I would want my kid hanging out playing.

There's a guy in my neighborhood who's been doing this for years. The place looks amazing in the height of summer.

Like PI, I would also be concerned about the heat from the tealights melting or accidentally igniting the plastic, and then--smelly!

Interesting info about the switch in manufacturers. Is this true of all Danskos, or just the clogs?

I don't remember who said it, but when I bought my first pair of Dansko clogs the salesperson told me the same thing about trying on more than one pair in the same size. It's the reason I wouldn't recommend buying the clogs online.

I recently admitted to myself that I tend to turn my ankles in my clogs, to the point where, as much as I love them, I don't think I'm going to be replacing them.

Bleach?

So, what was the budget without the gift cards?

I absolutely loved that sectional as a kid, because it was a giant couch-type platform. The possibilities were endless. If I had the space, I would absolutely have one in my house.

I would never automatically drop the highest and lowest bids, especially in light of what you wrote. If the highest-bid person did what I considered to be the best work, I could afford it, and I got along with that person, then there is the person I would hire. You have to live with the results for a long time, and while money is a consideration (unavoidably) if it is the only consideration then you are selling yourself and your space short.

I love the way this looks, but if my closet contained only what's in the picture above, then I wouldn't actually need a closet.

My thought is that a white Christmas tree is OK for someone else, but not for me. Still, some of these are very photogenic, but in that department-store-display kind of way.
