Thanks so much for the tutorial! I think it's perfect because it's so simple. I've been looking at spice racks and a similar rack that holds that many jars tends to be over $100, and/or ugly as sin. I am definitely going to try this :)

Questions: Where did that spice rack/jars come from?? I neeeed it. Also, the shelf in the kitchen where pots hang - is it just a plain wire shelf with "s" hooks?

I might have missed it, but I didn't see how much they paid for the house...

I'm in my second round of AT. For the past year, I've done a lot of decluttering. Have a but more of that to do, and a few rooms left to cure. So far I've painted the living area and the office/guest room. I have pics uploaded on the flickr group I posted above. Though I've done more works since those pics were taken. I live in Astoria, in a "1 bedroom" that does seem more studio-like. It's pretty small. Me and my boyfriend are getting a dog, and want to really simplify everything, cut down on all the "stuff" and really make the space work for us.

Cheers, and good luck to all!

Thanks als1 - I think I'll try those! I haven't had much luck with those things but that was back when they were a newer product. I bet they've improved.

I recently went to Build it Green NYC in Astoria, and they have tons of salvaged doors (kind to the environment, kind on the budget too). I was disappointed in the rest of the stuff, but if I were looking for doors, I would definitely check them out first. Particularly if you are into recycling.

Thanks minnesara! I love it - I'm gonna order it right from the site! I love that it's stoneware and can be put in the oven too.

Question: how do you mount a magnetic knife strip to a refrigerator, such as in Xing's kitchen?

I want to put Ikea laminate flooring down in my kitchen. Wondering if anyone has experience with doing this themselves? Is it difficult? I have a circular saw, will that work for cutting it?

I love this idea. There's nothing like an old fashioned chalkboard (I'm a teacher and most schools have moved to white boards). Just keep in mind if you have a child with asthma, chalk dust is an irritant.
