From experience, I know, you get what you paid for. Don't expect this one to work out for very long.

Also, you need to go and really hang out on the sofa of choice at the store. Don't be scared to lay and lounge in it like you would at home. Take someone with you like to hang out with, so you won't rush it. This is an important purchase, and you want to be comfy!!!

We similar white latte bowls from Crate and Barrel, but alas they all chipped and have been trashed. I love the shape of them, and wonder if I should gamble on those Anthropologie ones??

That Double Apple cake listed is Delish! It travels well. I would make extra sauce....it's addictive. Some people more than others. I add dried cherries to the batter as well. It's my fave recipe I have ever gotten off the Kitchn!

I totally covet some of these gems, but they are way too much money for little reward. I'd rather save up and get a real version.

I think the art of bartending has been lost. It's rare that anyone really knows how to make the classics. 'm a martini drinker, and I suppose I'm snooty because I think all the new "martini menus" are all wrong. Just because you put it in a martini glass doesn't make it a martini. I've come to the conclusion the only way to get a good classic gin martini is at home when I make it. The gin to vermouth ratio really needs to be 4:1 or 3:1.

I think the structure is great, but the dinginess would freak my germaphobe brain out, so there is no way I could stay there.

You forgot the directions for the creme.

Do I need to change anything if I use dried cranberries?

Painting tip: we spray painted our cabinets with oil paint. I highly recommend doing this so you will get a nice even hardwearing finish. The fumes are terrible, so you will have to do it outside and with a mask, but any other paint will nick. We happened to have a compressor, but you should be able to rent one.

I like the idea, but meringue just doesn't do it for me.

A Martha Stewart Staffer's Colorful, Very Organized Kitchen

It's a nice looking place, but worthy of a house tour??? It doesn't quite seem finished to me. The colors are great and the owner's personality is showing, but.....Maybe it's the lack of curtains. I know some people don't like them, but I think they add a real decorative value to a place.
It looks very tidy except on those shelves under that kitchen table/pantry. I would definitely get some sort of box system in whatever style you like to organize and hide some of that clutter.

Beautifully done! I would have added more of the blue accents.

I love how people post comments they would never say to someone's face.

The internet is a small world after all. AT seems to be good at crediting other sites when appropriate. Why can't 2 blogs post the same thing?

Glad, Iris took the time to use oil. It's a pain, but well worth it. It will hold up to wear and tear. Nice Job!

Wow,3 months!!!! Great Job! Nice to see someone have a well put together house on a budget.

I am amused by the tile comment. I have some things around my rental that I keep hoping if I ignore it will go away as well.
