I love that sink! I found the original photo (http://www.thekitchn.com/haleighs-charming-paris-kitchen-kitchen-tour-173419), but no hint of a source. :(

I hate being snarky about an innovative project, but vomit comes out in a “unique form” too, and I wouldn’t make a chair out of it.

No snark here at all: It’s really cool to see people finding a way to use something that would have just gone in the garbage.

The kitchen is lovely, but I would love to hear what the landlord thinks. Anytime someone says, "No one could argue ... ," I always think, "Oh, yeah?"

I got a swingtop bottle from Cost Plus for $5. (I actually got two, but cracked one. Glass, duh.) I don’t drink directly from it, though, so I don’t wash it after every use.

It’s a little heavy in my lunch bag, but after drinking (part of) a bottle of water that tasted like scotch tape once, it kind of turned me off.

@Magoo1, what about marking clothes pins with the sheet size and tagging sets that way? Store the set inside the pillow case and clip the pillow case with the pin.

I don’t take my shoes off unless someone asks me too. I hate it, and I’ll avoid that person’s house in the future. I wouldn’t ask a guest to remove his or her shoes for any occasion. If the shoes were muddy or wet, I’d offer a towel. If my guests prefer to take their shoes off, of course that’s fine.

I can totally see how that might change with dirty kids running through the house. That kind of wear and tear is a lot more extensive than the occasional guest.

Did anyone else see picture #25 and think, "I could totally make a TARDIS with that?"

Love these! So many cute ideas. And to think, my sister and I used to take the recyclables out of the bin to play store.

@northstory What an adorable advent calendar! Each box is so thoughtful.

My mother made an advent calendar for my sister and I when we were kids that she still puts up. It’s a felt Christmas tree with Velcro circles. The trunk of the tree is a pouch that holds decorative buttons with the other side of the Velcro on the back. The last button to go on was an embroidered star.

What a beautiful room! Except the stove. It looks out of place. I can take that off your hands for you. ;-)

City Mouse vs. Country Mouse:
Which Is Your Utopia?

@Pi, For me, I think being a misanthrope and an asshole makes living among a lot of people difficult.

Honestly, congestion is a big part of it. I work just 13 miles from my house, but it takes about 45 minutes to get there. I know it could be sooooo much worse if I lived in a city bigger than Denver. Public transportation is OK-ish and will do in an emergency, but it’s not great. To get to work, I’d have to take a bus, a train, another bus and then hike through two parking lots and a field. Again, I know other people have it worse, but I think I’ve just reached my limit. The city was great when I was going out all the time, but considering that I frequent the same two or three bars and restaurants, I think a smaller town could satisfy my needs very easily.

@Amymakescakes, I love Alton Brown!

Depends on what the room is being used for. I like the bedroom to be dark and subtle, but I like my kitchen white because all my stuff is brightly colored. My favorite room color-wise is the butter-yellow downstairs bathroom. I found an amazing print in the free-stuff bin outside our local music store of forest-dwelling skeletons greeting a spaceship. The background color in the print matches the paint color on the wall perfectly!

I couldn’t say it better than @anna lisa did. If they started out cute, great. Otherwise, you have non-disposable trash.
