Get a ComfortChef mat from HomeDepot. Cheaper than a gel-mat, it's made of foam, has a cleanable surface, and the edges of the mat won't roll up after a little wear. Should I Put A Rug In My Kitchen? Good Questions Flag this comment	6/6/11 7:32 PM

The Mario-filled medicine cabinet looks just like mine! I thought I was the only one who keeps/hoards their samples, even though I already own the full-size bottles! Medicine Cabinet Portraits by Coke Wisdom O'Neal \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	3/3/10 3:09 PM
The Hollviken sink is fabulous for a smallish bathroom that needs to accomodate two adults. Also, we've been able to wash our newborn in it for the past 6 weeks! One downside: the sink stopper can come unhooked more easily than other sinks i've used, kind of a headache. Solution is to pull up halfway with the lever, then push on the sink plug until it closes. We use Limmaren bottles sans pumps for mouthwash and liquid facewash. I imagine they're also good for facial toners or witch hazel. The only issue I have with the Limmaren set (and all IKEA products that have metal components and touch water) are that they rust the first time you use them.

There's a great recipe from 101cookbooks.com that uses whole-wheat pastry flour, and has no corn (as long as you use powdered sugar that is free of it): http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001370.html Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| DIY Girl Scout Cookies Flag this comment	4/2/09 11:11 PM

Keep a bucket near the shower or tub (one of those big galvanized ones) and use it to collect the cold water that comes out of your faucet before it gets warm. Use it for watering your plants. Use water waste from cooking, such as water for cooking pasta or water used to rinse rice, to water your plants as well. Water plants before 10 am and after 2pm, the hottest parts of the day.

Correction: -Meters in Alameda are much MORE accurate than in the city -Our rent includes a 2 bedroom apt with ample free parking -The amount of white people here compared to other places is odd to me, hence my mentioning of it.

My husband and I live in Alameda, just a 4-second no-toll drive across a bridge from Oakland (or if you prefer, a 30-second no-toll tunnel that goes straight to the Maze). Things we love: -the bungalows (now available at a comfy $400 thou!) -the Victorians (we currently are paying off part our landlord's mortgage in the well-windowed garden unit at $1100 a month!) -you won't see nearly as many sun-faded strands of Tibetan prayer flags littering the front porches as you will in berkeley -Burma Superstar with NO LINES! -produce at great prices (Dan's, the farmers' market) -Park street -Antique Faire (where my jewelry-challenged husband got me my antique white gold filigree and peridot ring!) -The parking meters are nearly as expensive as the city, and much more accurate -Just across the bridge from The Tamale Lady, East Oakland's taquerias and mercados, La Farine, Chinatown, Downtown Oakland -You can take a ferry to San Francisco for $4, and bring your bike along at any time of the day. -Bike around the island and run your errands, you won't need to drive! Save gas and feel safe knowing the speed limit around town is 25mph (and people follow it) -5 minute drive to the Oakland airport! Jet Blue ya'll! Did i mention the higher concentration of whites here than in Oakland, San Francisco, or anywhere east of Orinda? And there are many families as well. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| AT on...
