We've had IKEA kitchen cabinets for almost 6 years and they are great. Basically all the frames are the same product, it's the fronts that vary the price. We bought the cheapest fronts and used them as templates to cut birch plywood and run the grain sideways. We also set them 6" from the back walls for extra deep counters. So a little extra framing was needed but not a big deal. I agree with the other comments about hardware, the selection is pretty limited. I would absolutely install IKEA kitchen cabinets again. Can't beat the price.

Also, if you have $730.55 to spend on yarn (pre-tax), you can knit this simple blanket. Cozy indeed.

I've only tried out one store bought dry shampoo spray, it made my hair feel gross.

I regularly use Burt's Bees baby powder on non-wash days. It helps with the extra oil and adds a little volume, but my hair never looks nice enough to wear down. So on those days I put it up in a low bun or pony tail.

The trick is to really brush the powder out. I'm going to look into recipes mentioned above, since I don't love the baby powder smell and maybe the texture would be finer.

Pillows for sure every week. The rest can go a little longer...

Don't stress. You can't control the weather... And remember to have fun.

I too had simple pan-fried hominy as a child. Butter, s&p, and saute until it gets a little color. I absolutely love it, and it cant be any cheaper (which is why we ate a lot of it back then).

Very interesting post. I design websites for home/garden brands. Warm colors seem to have more appeal to users in the food/recipes category. Think, gold, pumpkin, cranberry, plum and lots of warm neutrals. If green is used, its almost always a warmer shade. Rarely have I seen blue used in the food/recipe space.

Great post! And great comments too. I want to add jarred salsa verde to the list. I'm amazed at how much we eat. I use it as a base for white chili, in casseroles, on eggs, on everything. Oddly never with chips :)

Yes! Every time we cook, we toss our compostables in a bowl on the counter. Egg shells and coffee grounds too. I'll admit, sometimes it doesn't go outside until the next day. But I'm working on it. My husband also tosses in his juice pulp from the juicer. I've seen pricier compost containers with a lid and smell filter. But I think if I had one I'd take it out to the composter even less often and then it would be gross. So, yes, the bowl works!

I think its cute. I want to see more ideas like this. Its imaginative and fun. I love when people have the guts to do unusual things.
