Covering the top of the fridge is a great idea! I'm going to use powerful magnets at the corners instead of double-sided tape.

There are slightly less-offensive window units out there. I installed "low-rise" units as they do use up less window space and look less bulky. Instead of using the "accordion" feature to fill in the spaces on each side of the unit, you can have plexiglass cut to fit the space you need, allowing a little more light in and maybe even providing a better seal, as you can use clear caulk to close up some of the gaps.

I simply fold my fabric neatly/uniformly and stack it with table linens in a visible place in my living room. I can't tell you how many people remark "how pretty" when they notice it. I suppose my colorful stack looks like a very ample stack of table linens, but actually most of the stack is comprised of material that is left over from a project. My decor is neat-eclectic; the random nature of varying patterns and colors blends beautifully with the very non-matching theme of the room.

I worked as a shirt presser at a dry cleaner when I was in high school. Ordinary irons just don't give you the boost that an iron with a reservoir like this can. What a treat it would be to have commercial grade power in my own little laundry/sewing station! I would give this iron a warm and tidy home!
