In my family, we draw a name for a gift exchange. We all put our names in a bowl and we draw which person we're going to buy a Christmas gift for. That includes, my brother and sisters, their spouses and their adult children. The younger nieces get gifts from all of us. My niece picked my name so I had to make a list for her. Knowing that I might get only one gift, other than maybe from my close friends, I'm rethinking everything on my list. I do have a long list of things I want badly, as you say, we see things in magazines but now also on Internet, in blogs, Pinterest, Etsy, etc. My Pinterest boards and Etsy favourites are full of things I really want lol Making that list for my niece, it now makes me think twice about what I really really want.

I recently bought a house that was built in the 20's and renovated. I have a tile countertop and it's really no problem, keeps easily clean, the grout is clean also and the surface is not uneven, rather flat actually. The counter is at least 4 years old since I know the previous owners stayed 4 years and didn't do the renovations, so for sure it's older than 4 years old and have kept really well. I have one cracked tile but that's it for bad review. And I'm not one to always clean immediately after cooking, so it doesn't seem to stain either.

I also say no. My parents had them in the basement when I was a kid, it was ugly then, it still is ;)

Hmmm some people are grumpy, maybe they're going through champagne or cookie withdrawal lol

Funny, I was asking myself the same question a couple weeks ago, I'm moving and would like to get rid of the old tattered garbage cans. All I could think of was to wait for the garbage men and tell them to take them away lol
