I second the biscuit and pancake idea. I grew up with Steen's always in the house. There was no such thing as maple or pancake syrup to us! I liked to mix it with peanut butter and eat it on toast or 'lite bread' with a cold glass of milk. Mmmmm...brings back memories.

I keep my little microwave on top of the fridge in front of the small useless cabinets. It's off the counter so it doesn't take up any valuable space in my small kitchen. I've had a few people comment on it's ease of use, or lack there of, but I'm 6'4" so reaching it is not a problem. I actually had it in the above-fridge cabinet at a previous apartment. I just took the cabinet door off and drilled a hole through the bottom of the cabinet for the plug.

I know it might be a tough sell, but please save the pink bathroom. Check out http://savethepinkbathrooms.com/ and http://retrorenovation.com/. I'm sure you can find great ideas at these sites!

I've never seen this before. Sounds good. If it's thicker than peanutbutter, I'd throw it in a processor with a little oil and whiz it up to a similar consistency. Then, I'd make a batch of peanutbutter cookies with it.

I've got two very similar to the one pictured. 'Farmer's totes' is what the antique/junk store called them. I used them for CD storage and what-not shelves. Right now they're stacked in the corner awaiting Craigs list. They've been useful through the years but no longer go with my decor. Great idea and it's neat to see something that I've been using for years featured!

I took a picture of these numbers at the Depot last year and forwarded it to AT. I guess it was ignored.

Several of you keep mentioning pet hair. Luckily, schnauzers don't shed. I have a white duvet and keep a throw over it for the dog incase she has dirty feet. I've had no problems.


Reader Roundup: Pets in Your Bed?

My mini schnauzer, Cora, sleeps in the bed with me. She doesn't like to be under the covers so she sleeps generally towards the foot of the bed. Even though a sleeping schnauzer doubles in weight and length when they sleep, she usually stays on her side of the bed until she deems it necessary for me to get up. Then, she's usually on top of me.

I used to live with a roommate and his chihuahua, Boo. Boo loved to be under the covers and he would sleep with me sometimes. I appreciated having a foot warmer on cold nights.

I just have to say 'Oh well' and move on when things break. I don't think I've ever lost anything major but I know that I still miss a few precious yet fragile items.

When I first looked at your photos, all I could think of was 'How did it damage your fireplace?' I don't understand your mantle...with one support cut on a 45 and nothing on the other end. I'm not being derogatory, I just don't get it. Did you have that done? I'm curious.

Ah, memories. I suppose the most practical and the BEST Christmas present I have ever received was a 10" non-stick skillet and an iron with auto shut-off and a retractable cord. I had specifically asked for those items and was actually suprised that I received them. I still have both and miss my mom when I use them. I've also received a slow cooker, countertop grill and 4 tires. All great gifts. The older I get, the more I appreciate what I need versus what I want! And even better when I want what I need!

Obviously this redo will not be to everyone's taste. I don't particularly care for it but it's not my home. Gutsy move and I appreciate that and commend you for it. I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one putting work into a rental. I've only done painting but am considering changing the countertop in my bathroom and adding some tile. Oh, also glad to see another microwave on the fridge. That's where mine is. Almost everyone that comes over complains about not being able to reach it. I have no problem reaching it and I'm the one that uses it regularly. :-)

I have to agree with the creepy factor. Although I guess pet faces could be cute. Not sure I would want to snuggle with someone's face. Maybe I could have one made of someone I don't like and use that one to put between my legs when I sleep. :-) Sweet revenge. 'Do you know what I do to your face every night?' Heheheeh.

I've been a fan of Demeter for years! Their Dirt fragrance reminds me of warm spring days planting acres of vegetables when I was a kid.

That would make the perfect Christmas present for a friend that always has a post-it stapled to her purse with a reminder to do something on it. Too bad shipping to the US is so high. Oh well.

Re: Plant Stand

I've seen a few of them on ebay from time to time. They usually want way too much for them. If you know someone that's handy, they should be able to recreate one from a picture. I've saved pics of several different ones for reference on a future DIY plant stand.

I'm in love with the vintage plant stand being used as a night stand in the first pic.

@Longorious - What's the ceiling like? You could always hang a rod from cables from the ceiling.

I'm sure some of you probably are thinking the same thing...but everytime I see a crown, all I can think of is the tacky air fresheners that some people put in their cars.

But I suppose that in small amounts, unlike the wallpaper, it could be classy.
