I keep potatoes and onions in the fridge in the crisper drawer (separately) - is this bad?

Your sister should call the credit bureaus immediately and have her credit frozen (with all 3 agencies - Fair Isaacs, Experian and Equifax).

What this will do is that if a person tries to apply for credit in her name the lender will not be able to pull credit and so cannot lend. This is much better than what they usually do, which is put a note to call the consumer - this is rarely ever done.

I agree with this post if the messy person is your significant other. I too am extremely neat and organized, to the point of OCD! while my other half is the messiest person I've ever encountered.

It took me quite a while to get to this point, but I find that I am so much happier if i just do it and get it over with (which normally takes at most 5 minutes), instead of nag and wait for my husband to do it.

That being said, if it's a housemate, i don't think it's fair to clean up their mess. They can do whatever they want in their room - but should keep the common area tidy.

Speaking of flat pillows - Does anyone have recommendations on not very expensive down alternative (husband's allergic to down) pillows? Mine has been giving me a crick in the neck because it feels like cardboard and I'm in the market for some new ones.

I used to have the same trash can and I'm pretty sure it's by OXO - although I don't know if they still have that color available.

Love love love this apartment! I keep looking at the photos! My favorite color is yellow too and it's so nice to see different ways to use it in your home!

Can you tell us where the dishtowels and various trays are all from??

How did they catch the burglers??

Even Alarms are sometimes not effective - we were burglarized even with an alarm system because they came in through an upstairs bathroom window which wasn't connected to the alarm system - typically the alarm goes off only when doors or ground floor windows are opened/broken.

I can't remember a meal in my family where we haven't ended with tea or coffee. It's not even just after a dinner party, it's after dinner period!

I have light blue and grey colored plates that I use everyday and with guests. They're neutral enough to showcase the food, but at the same time it's a little more interesting.
However, my plates are from Heath and even those show marks from utensils due to the lighter color.

I was thinking of using roman shades in my new condo - so this is a great post! I really like that first one.

Are there roman shades made for large (width) windows? One of mine is 48" across and I haven't found any that big.

The size of my kitchen is probably quite perfect for a 2 person, 1 bedroom apartment. What isn't perfect is the SUPER old, peeling, dirty cabinets that are all slotted to let in outdoor air - thus making it more dusty and dirty. And the lack of counter space since the cabinets come down over the counter with about 2 feet in between, and no overlap on the part of the counter.
It's a nightmare to try and chop or mix anything, since you can't fit anything higher than a toaster (not even a coffee pot) beneath the cabinets.

sigh.

What's with all of the bath mats hanging on the edge of the tubs?

Would love to have one.

I'm wanting to buy some heath dishes, but I don't really know what the colors look like in person.
Can I get some input on people's favorite Heath Coupe colors??
I'd appreciate it!
