I have really been wanting to get the find and the apt therapy book!

I bought the bathroom cleanser, and I don't think it has an offensive odor, smells kind of like listerine to me.
I use it to spray down the kitchen where I make wine as an extra layer of disinfecting. Other than that I have just used it to spray doorknobs and toilet handle/seat a few times, as I too don't think there is a need to overuse antibacterial products.
Did spray on windows a couple times as it was convenient and did not leave any streaks, worked just about as well as their glass cleaner.

Beautiful - my cheaper one is starting to rust under the band, and I covet this one but I can't splurge that much, thank you for the giveaway!

Yes...my husband took a week off for my birthday - we ended up deciding to cancel the weekend I had at a beautiful hotel with this awesome soaking tub, and demo our kitchen instead.
We planned on waiting until fall, but with that darn week off we couldn't resist. 4 weeks later and we're still at it. Nobody got any rest on vacation or since then, and I still have the backsplash, plumbing, and range hood vent to put in.
At the moment I would've rather had two days of luxury and still be stuck with a lousy kitchen! ;)

I wouldn't pay that either, but I think those would make great pet bowls - looking for a wide raised bowl my cats can get their whiskers in!

I went to go look at the etsy shop and I was like YA! I already loved his shedd aquarium art I saw on here last year - now I think it's a sign I need to buy something!

Unless you have a giant room I do not suggest getting the 3 piece Malm headboard/bed shelf kit (not like it looks like you're going to though... ;) but other viewers may be considering it - it really is not that useful if you can't pull the shelves all the way out)
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80109421
We did buy it with our Malm frame and have about 2 feet a few inches on either side to pull it out which isn't enough, I have been wishing every day that we had purchased the Malm bedside tables instead , it wouldve been enough room for lamps, water, alarm clocks with storage for books, kleenex...anything we really need. I think they look really good too from the pictures I have seen and not "matchy" not that you couldn't choose an alternate color wood from your frame to set it apart visually. I might just do that now and try to find an ikeahacker.com idea for the current piece.

Thanks for the answers! Emeco apparently made the table at some point but told me they don't any longer. They do sell legs still however so my friend is thinking of making his own with a top from somewhere else.

I just paid for a 3 year subscription of Ready Made, I sure hope they aren't out of business....
I loved domino and blueprint, this is a depressing year so far.

Wow, why the heck haven't I heard this idea before? I do not own one of these pasta strainers but I am gonna get one, it would make it so much easier for stock, and I can stop spilling bits of veggies all over the floor when I'm straining.

Wow, I just put up a lion doorknocker yesterday (on an inside door) We got it this month on our trip to Italy...it was made in China but I don't care, I love how it dresses up the boring door!

I try to make sure I finish any action I start - I used to take things that needed to be put away and leave them closer to their final destination but not actually put the stuff away, before you know it I have a house full of chaos!

Alright - I have been considering putting kitty ramps in but didn't really think I'd get around to it but with this push, I think a wall ledge and ramp better go in the computer room NOW and I can velcro some faux fur beds along the way for them to nap in :)

I like the riverbed - I think it'd go great with the paint color I just picked out for the bedroom!

I hate to say I dont have one! I have never managed to buy a slow cooker as an adult, and only have memories of a neighbors dishes she'd make. I know my first attempt at a meal in it would be some variation on a pot roast.

It's on sale at www.meijer.com for $65 right now - I was looking for reviews because I am thinking of getting one - previous poster is probably correct that my cats would shred it!
