all our cars' license planes. photos of passwords (with all but 1 or 2 characters blanked out), grocery lists, measurments of things around the house - sometimes I have long term project that I'll only do if I see something that would fit perfectly in a space. I have window measurements, cabinet and shelf #'s just incase I see something perfect. 10 Snapshots You Should Keep in Your Phone's Photo Album |

I've been a member for a while now and I notice a lot of pins with descriptions that have nothing to do with the photo. Say a photo of a car then "how to get your child to eat right". umm What? I don't click on those. I've noticed this a lot lately. Very frustrating. Can Pinterest Keep Spammers and Scammers At Bay? |

It's funny to use the frequently typed phrases to play pranks on people who leave their iPhone lying around. Replace common words like 'love', 'okay', 'yes', 'no' with much funnier versions. 5 Built-In iPhone Features You Might Not Know About |

I like how with my iphone and smallish hands I can pretty much reach every inch of the screen with just one hand. My thumb can reach to the very edge without dropping the phone. With a bigger screen I'd have to use two hands or switch between both hands to do one thing. Worth it or not? Pros & Cons of Bigger Smartphone Screens |

I love countertop space but I also know how much I use my microwave. It's just so much more convenient for leftovers, heating frozen veggies, warming water etc. I could not go without it. I'm not the type to just eat frozen meals and burritos either; it's just a big part of my kitchen. Which is Better... A Microwave or More Countertop Space? |

My name is Robin and I'm the original contributor. Thanks to everyone for their comments! We have been using the gas fireplace on occasion in the last month but always turn off the pilot light completely. I know you can leave it on all the time but we are just extra safe. We have yet to bring it up with the landlord but will be now. As some mentioned this may not be up to code - but that doesn't surprise me with other things we've dealt with here. A basic MDF board cut out to fit in the front by the granite sounds like something I can DIY. Thanks again! Fix for Rental with Damper-less Fireplace? Good Questions |

okay another chime in for 3M hooks. In my experience they work great and don't peel the paint for semi short periods of time. We had some that were up for 1.5 years that I tried to peel off normally and they did pull a little paint. I've had better luck with the hooks if your only going for 6ish months.

Yep we discovered using coffee filters for the first time this year. It works really well and you can make 6 or 8 points depending on how many times you fold it. They're a great thickness; not too flimsy but not too strong to cut through. They make nice large snowflakes to tape to your front window! Even Easier Paper Snowflakes Scrumdilly-do! |

Personally I'd just drink it! We drink $2 bottles of wine at my house! No shame. Other than that it'll take a lot of risotto and fondue to get rid of it. What Can I Do With a Bottle of Really Cheap Chardonnay? Good Questions |

What about adding console table behind the couch between it and the wall to bring the couch forward towards the middle or the room? Good for some cozy lamps and storage too! Also could you add feet to the couch so it looks more polished and less just sitting on the floor look? Add some bright curtains - hang them high! Use either round side table; not both since they don't match. I could see that firewood container painted oil rubbed bronze. Kathryn's Dilemma: Solutions for Tying It All Together |

We always always do sit down. It's thanksgiving and we always make room for everyone even if we have to drag tables together and squeeze close. We fit everything including the Turkey on the table but usually some things like drinks and salad & first course plates get put on a sideboard or the counter eventually.

I've done a similar project but instead of curtains I made a couple of table runners. http://www.oursemiorganiclife.com/2011/04/diy-no-sew-table-runner.html Making Easy DIY No-Sew Drapes Brooklyn Limestone |
