@Remy, the floral/pouf is from TJ Maxx. I found it there in October for $35 I believe.

@Akis, I guess you don't see much of my husband's style in these photos, although the big pieces are either originally his, like the bed, or picked out by both of us, like the couch. He had an office in our last apartment that was more him. The accessorizing here is more my style but he's happy with it. "Happy wife, happy life," right?? We're in the process of buying a house and he's super excited to finally have a garage. That will be his space :)

The Mr. and Mrs. signs hanging over the bed are the banners we had on our chairs at our wedding. I didn't want to throw them away so I found a way to repurpose them.

@Lyonstill, the lamp was purchased at a little antique store in my home town for $35. It was a great find.

Great house! It's wonderful to see Kansas City homes featured on apartment therapy.

Crissy and Justin, what are your favorite thrift stores in KC? I live in the northland and I haven't found many near me, but your house really makes me want to go thrift store shopping to find some treasures!

I'm from Kansas City and Boulevard beer is the best. I've been on the tour twice (so far) and it's a great time, plus it's free!

Do you think this recipe would work with breasts instead of thighs? I don't really care for dark meat, but this recipe looks too good not to try!

I just made these and they were delicious! I'm watching my weight so these were a perfect light but still comfortung meal. I made them with spaghetti squash instead of greens, which was quite good.

I just made these, and although not the best chips I've ever had, they were an impressive healthy version. I should have read the earlier comments because I too started the potatoes at 50 percent and they took forever! I bumped up the power towards the end and then they finally cooked. I have a couple questions...when you do them without the steamer, do you put them between paper towels or just on top of a paper towel? And has anyone else had a problem with the paper sticking to the chips at the end?
