This is a great renovation, well done. I love that you kept the original cabinets, I have a soft spot for them (and have the same ones).

I have that radio, not the red cross version, and love it. Although we haven't had a power outage since I bought it, it's still come in handy for using while working or hanging outside, when I want tunes in my tiny bathroom or the basement, etc. Charging via cranking is a bit cumbersome in that it takes a lot of cranking, but the solar charging is awesome!

Eek - Sorry for the multiple comments and non-working links. FF didn't seem to be posting my comment. Here's what I meant:

I have a stairway landing strip in my little house and hooks are my best friend! We also have plaster walls, and hung the hooks from an MDF-board attached to the wall and haven't had any problems, even when I hang quite heavy books from them. You can also use bags hanging from the hooks to store gloves and other cold-weather accessories. See pics here

I received some glass Pyrex containers for Christmas, but we were still using plastic containers more until I made a little switch. I can't believe it took me so long to do it, but by putting the plastic containers on a high, inconvenient cupboard shelf, and moving the pyrex containers to our easiest-to-grab spots, we're now using glass all the time instead of plastic.

I'm addicted to Sell This House. I spend my Saturday mornings watching episode after episode and enjoying a few strong cups of coffee.

A dehumidifier is a necessary evil for me too. I have one going in the basement almost all the time. I get the sweaty window issue in the winter, but never the summer.

Love this home, wish I could move right in!

I exclusively buy Method refills for hand soap, but outside of Method, I don't recall seeing other refill pouches.

Catmint is a big hit at our house. I'm always jealous of the huge catmint plants my mom has, mine barely grow before the cats roll and roll on them and rip leaves off. But, whatever, it makes the little buggers happy...
