rainybeth I'm also from upstate ny and I'm familiar with "french toast" storms.
Although I've lived in the north east for most of my life, the frantic shopping sprees seemed most prevalent during my time living in NC. I always chalked it up to people feeling less comfortable driving in inclement weather. In upstate ny you really dont have the option to just not drive in snow, its 1/3 of the year!

Do you mean to say "5 Inspiring Drought Tolerant Gardens"?

Take a first time home buyer class, even if you are just thinking about starting to search. I know both Cambridge and Boston offer them monthly. I took it in Cambridge and it was 2 hours, once a week for 4 weeks.

Each sesion had brokers, bankers, home inspectors, etc as guest speakers. It was tremendously helpful with information that I didn't even know to ask about. The classes are free and I ended up getting a discount from the home inspector who I loved and was highly recommended by everyone I asked.

The classes are also required to enter any of the City's affordable housing programs, which I'd be happy to talk about at length to anyone who is interested- I cant say enough great things about the program and my condo!

This might not be exactly what you are looking for, but they also offer classes through the co-op.

Does anyone know where I can get the metal (?) circular artwork in both before and after? I'm looking for something to filter out an ugly bathroom fan.

what else but the monster mash for dancing?!

In my old apt in charlestown my bedroom was covered in terrible wall paneling that I painted. I bought several pieces of super cheap metal "C" track at home depot and put it the length of my walls about a foot down from the ceiling. I painted the track to match the wall.

I also bought a bunch of small "s" hooks and some wire. I was finally able to put up a lot of my pictures/ artwork that I hadn't before and could also change it out/or move it as I wanted. It was actually faster than rearranging my furniture which I did too frequently.

Since my application was pretty casual it worked for me, but if you have nice trim work in the room allready or you are interested in displaying nicer artwork you may want to invest in a better system.
