I've been fighting a wicked cold the past couple days, I can't wait to go home and try this!! And *BONUS* I have all these things in the kitchen so I don't have to make any pit stops :)

I think that I would get rid of the top cabinets on the wall with the fridge and sink. And you may be able to repurpose some of their pieces to make the shelving in the some of the other cabinets more stable.

That would take some of the heavyness out of the the room, and you're really only losing a little bit of storage. Then sand and paint the remaining cabinets a lighter color, maybe a color close to the color of the countertops?

Never, never, never pour un-used paint in the bathtub or toilet! I used to work in property management and I was mortified at how often people did this. Not only is it a huge, stain-y mess (and toxic!) but the paint will settle and dry in the pipes and can cause a plumbing nightmare.

Some cities have hazardous waste drop off sites where you can take your unused paint, you can also let it dry out completely (it's only considered a hazardous material when it's liquid) and just throw it in the trash. Also, churches and other orgainizations would probably apprecaite a donation if they have any upcoming projects!

I always start a tab at a bar; and when I get my bill I just double the first number of the total for the tip. So if my bill was $30, I'd leave a $6 tip. This ususally works out to a 15%-20% tip and it's super easy on a brain that's had a few drinks!

I use coconut oil instead of butter in rice crispy treats. It's delicious!!

I was just saying...because I would want someone to correct me if I was wrong. Wasn't fishing for a snarky remark.

I keep all my old Christmas lights in big balls (like yarn) and keep them piled in a cute basket in my living room (or piled in my fireplace in the summer). They look super cute when plugged in, and you can't even tell when partial strands burns out!

My Mom always did the same thing, but she put everything into a small sauce pan with some water and let it simmer on the stove.
