I've never seen custom-color epoxy mixed like this. Do you think this could be used to make metallic epoxy? I have a project that is crying out for it! How To Repair Chipped China |

Those little nail-in cable guides are pretty impractical in a rental. So much spackling when you move out! I've had a hard time finding a large number of stick-on cable clips. They usually come in packs of 6 for $3-5, which is okay if you just want to do one cable, but I have a lot of cables! I finally ordered a package of 100 zip-tie mounts and zip-ties from an electrician supply company. It was about $12. The Best $4.99 You'll Ever Spend At IKEA Daily Find |

Didn't AT used to have a "nice comments" policy? Sheesh. Me, I like the gold bin, although no need to scorn black trash cans. There's room for every color of trash can in this wide world. Some of us just like them a little more fabulous, that's all! Before & After: From Boring Black to Glam Gold Mer Mag |

I like to keep a spare roll in sight, but my cats always knock it on the floor, which I find gross. My solution was to keep it inside an old 100 CD spindle. Cottonelle's Respect the Roll: A Toilet Paper Makeover |

These are all such great suggestions! I made a cake for a potluck yesterday and it helped a little (ego-stroking never hurts, right?). I think simplicity is what I'm longing for. Sometimes I just don't want eating to be a big thing. Bread, cheese, and a pear sounds divine... even divine enough for me to make some bread. Hmm... Help! I've Lost My Cooking Mojo! Good Questions |

It's safe for you to grate soap in the food processor (what else would you clean it with?), but it's not safe for the food processor. I make my own laundry detergent and over the years have burned out one food processor motor and broken the spindle on the other. Hand-grating doesn't actually take that long-- I save it as one of my "while-watching-TV" jobs. On The Soapbox: Handmade Laundry and Dish Soaps |

It does look nice, but what I was most inspired by is how lovely that lavendar paint looked against the stained window trim! Before & After: Katherine's Beautiful Built-in Shelving |

My husband and I always stick it out until November 1st (we used to live in dorms that didn't turn the heat on until that date, no matter how cold it got), but I'm inspired by those of you who hold out for January! We've still got the windows open in Indiana, although it's been a bit chilly for a few days here and there. When Do You Decide to Turn on the Heat? |

Interesting. We can learn a lot about sustainability from old-time living. Just no bonnets, please. :) Green Style: 1836 Prairie Town |

I'm just really, really good at breaking into my own cars and the places I live! On one memorable occasion, I did have to call a friend who was good at climbing to scale my roof and remove the screen from my window. After doing this a few times, it doesn't seem like much of a big deal to hide a key-- it's not that hard to get past a lock anyway. Where Do You Keep Your Spare Key? |

I used a buckwheat pillow recently while on a trip to Japan. I didn't find them all that noisy, and it was incredibly comfortable! It's on the budget for next month. :) Healthy Sleep Pillows: 6 All-Natural and Non-Toxic Options |
