I don't usually believe in judging a literary book by it's cover but this one isn't winning me over. I don't have any trouble getting my kid eat meat or starch-laden foods. I hope there is more diversity and more vegetable choices than these pictures suggest. Meals for the Family: The Supper Club by Susie Cover Book Review 2011 |

I've placed clip art or other images I like on them, and trace the image with paints, then glue a felt or cloth backing and hang on the wall. It's great color, fun to make and cheap art! How To Reuse Glass Inserts from Picture Frames? Good Question |

I had a similar couch but from the 50s. I bought foam from a upholstery wholesaler I found through google searches, wrapped that in cotton batting (to soften the squareness) then covered it in the fabric on sale. Our furnishings are dark so I went for a dark/espresso paint and loud fabric. How Can I Update This Ugly-Yet-Totally-Functional Couch? Good Question | Apartment Therapy Re-Nest |

I did this recently with an espresso color-painted bookshelf. The inside of each shelf was a bright red. I was a great way to bring color together in the living room without having to add more accessories (and avoid the clutter). Easy DIY: Brightly Painted Shelves | Apartment Therapy Chicago |

I'm always looking at new machines for making espressos. Years ago my great uncle had some strange device to make coffee through the car's lighter/charger! I've never seen anything like it but I want it. Espresso On-The-Go With Stelton's Espresso Maker | Apartment Therapy Unplggd |
