Wish we could see a picture of the bedroom instead of a chair. I absolutely love this space!

I agree with SkippingDaisies. With water & heat....cheap coatings won't last long & will look terrible. Years ago my son & I lived in a rental with "Pepto-Bismol" pink bath room
tiles. We now look back and remember the character of that home fondly :)

I had completely forgotten about the red ones!! My family had immigrated from another country so we didn't have them in our household but I remember seeing them in the candy machines. Thanks for making me smile today :)

It doesn't look small because of the high ceilings & clutter free rooms! I love this home :)

I grew up in an Eastern European household....we would thinly spread it on rye bread (light rye with caraway seeds) and sprinkle with a little salt. Though the potato comments above would probably be more familiar & delicious!

I use freezer bags...that way you can freeze them flat & use freezer space efficiently. Easy to thaw too!

I have. In the mid 90's we moved to Moscow, Russia for my husband's job. We had never been there before and the apartment had already been arranged for us. Such a wonderful adventure! Was the apartment perfect? Nope, far from it, but it was an amazing life experience.

Just couldn't do this. I've seen a video, using black lights, which shows what happens when toilets are flushed. How could plants be cleaned & sanitized?

Similar to the toppings for the Crepe bar, I do the same with pancakes to feed my son & his friends for sleep over mornings. Amazing how much fruit they will choose if they can put whipped cream on them too

Not tacky...I think buffet style is more fun & has the guests interacting with each other. Also can choose based on their dietary restrictions/preferences. I like it better than family style, that way there's no passing of hot & big plates which can be difficult.

When we were kids, my mom would make turkey dinners throughout the year to feed my brother & some of the players on his hockey team. It was an easy, economical way to feed such hungry boys and since her turkey was amazing, the boys all loved it!
