I got mine in a set at BBB with those 20% coupons years ago. Didn't have all the options that the Container store had so I bought misc parts there too. I think it was intermetro.

If I had a finish left on my tub, your advise would be splendid, but alas I have none. I think I finally figured it out.

1. Kaboom toxic blue to white spray does the trick. Method won't cut it. Hold your breath and go for air frequently.

2. Using an industrial looking plastic scrub brush found in a Jersey City Supermarket is fantastic. It takes tons of elbow grease. I consider it my weekly arm numbing workout. (Remember to change arms midway through for even muscle building). The brushes from Target left blue dye and bristles everywhere.

3. I agree with you completely on the cleaning before leaving. One more reason to relax on vacation.

Trumystique The place "on Orchird" was Economy Foam & Futon. They moved, but I bought a big desnse cushion from them 6 or more years ago for about $75. I am sure they raised their prices.

lol on the last comment.

I am thinking, for now, a nice thick piece of fabric may work. For the future, you may want to consider building a table/cabinet with a removable top.

Honestly there is no such thing as a personal tech gift, although some can be coveted and even draw emotions, ie ipod/iphone, anything bang olufsen, a pleo. You can customize tech like the mix tape idea of skins above.

You could also get a nice digital photo frame with pictures of places the two of you find memorable.

I face the same dilemma and have yet to solve it. I have a bose sound dock in my living room though and use a sony for the alarm clock. I have seen these ihome ones in all of the boutique hotel which are not bad, but not quite it for my ascetic.

Door mat when wet, closet, or door hinge when dry. It depends on the season.

My wife and I decorate for several seasons, Halloween and "Thanksgiving" are two of them.

For Halloween, we now have some small ghost candles from Crate and Barrel last year, and a spooky one from Z Gallery. We have a glass pumkin, which we usually fill with candy corn at the end of Septmeber, but this year we elected to use a couple orange napkins instead. We have ghost and spiderweb center table mats for our dinning and living room tables respectively with 4 coasters to match each. We found this year a pretty spider web table runner and spiderweb black basket also from crate and barrel which we filled with napkins and apples.

After Halloween we switch to a more fall leaves and changing color theme.

Christmas is white, silver, and some red. Winter is just silver and white.

Spring is green! Summer is sand and rocks and clear glass with more muted colors.

That is all we have right now, but I am sure there will be more when we move to a large place.

About every 2-3 weeks I need to charge for about 24 hours. I just replaced mine 6 month ago after the on button no longer worked on my 4-year-old sonicare.

Great work!
