Fix what makes you most comfortable. If you faucet is not working, then have the landlord fix it/replace it, but otherwise I might leave it alone. When my roommate and I moved into our Queens apartment after first arriving to new york city we actually put in some relatively inexpensive new "wood" flooring and some laminate tile in the kitchen, and a new laminate counter top (our kitchen was TINY). they were labor intensive updates, but worth a couple of hundred dollars for us to have decent floors and a *definitely* clean counter top. Those two things improved both the look and the livability of the space - changes worth making! First Home Advice: Where Do Renters Draw the Line? |

I mix my vinaigrette in a glass jar, when I take it out of the fridge to dress a salad i usually hold it under warm running tap water for a few seconds - maybe swishing it around every once in a while. then it's ready in no time. Do I Really Need to Refrigerate Vinaigrettes? Good Questions |

I put two long Grundtal rails behind my bedroom door and use the hooks you can get to hand my purses from. Works very nicely! Thinking Outside the Box: Grundtal Kitchen Rails |

A great store, I was able to get a very good Manchego cheese from them - something that you might struggle to find elsewhere in a state full of cheese! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Store Review: Fromagination |

When I roast a chicken I don't use a rack, I usually slice a few white or yellow onions thickly (about an inch or inch and a half) and put the chicken on top of that. It keeps the bird from the bottom of the pan and seasons the drippings. This could probably work for a turkey as well!

I actually really enjoy this pan. I use it for making Spanish tortillas and it works very well. I've never been able to master the tortilla flip without spilling egg all over the place and so the interlocking pans is really saving me a lot of mess. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Hot or Not?
