Do you know the name of the cream color on the wall? Is it a greenish cream?

I'd be interested in finding out what you did to the structure that the TV is mounted on. Is it a wall? Is it a piece of furniture? What is it covered with?

Shared vacations. You don't always have to go visit the family or vice versa, sometimes it's nice to meet everyone somewhere cool. It doubles as great family memories and sitters when mom and dad need to get away.

Fab actually has some usb/outlets on sale right now from U-Socket, but you can pick them up at any home store. There are also options which plug into regular outlets without having to rewire, but honestly, it's not that hard.

Thinkgeek also has this plug hub thing which I'm hoping designers will pick up on and make prettier.

You have to strike a balance between design and safety when it comes to your electronics.

For cord containment, we're using a combination of Command hooks for cords (thank you 3m for finally making these available everywhere) and Ikea cord covers. I can't find a link to the Ikea thing, but it's basically grey tubing and it's at the end of the store in the lamp section. They always have some sort of version of it. You just cut to fit.

If you cook, glossy is the way to go. It's much easier to get grease off of glossy than matte tiles.

I thought peacock was the new owl. Even Schwinn has a peacock detailed beach bike.

I made the mistake of using my self-clean on a brand new oven after having a huge sugar spill bake on. Fortunately it wasn't anywhere near the holidays because my brand new appliance has a plastic latch and self-clean melted that sucker, making the oven DOA. Also fortunate because it was still under warranty. Repairman said it happens a lot and not to use self clean as everything would eventually bake off anyway (true), plus the replacement latch is also plastic. Only warranty I've ever extended, because I know I'm going to do it again, and again, and again. Just not around the holidays.

If you want eco-friendly, find a product with tea tree oil in it (like Sol-u-mel), or mix one yourself. Honestly, though, bleach will do the job best for persistent mold.
