I think those borax concoctions are a waste of time if you live in an area prone to roaches. What I suggest:
Buy BENGAL spray.
Empty out your kitchen.
Spray every single crease, seam, corner, crack you can find. Wait.
Roaches appear, crippled and then they will die. It's a bit daunting.
Clean them up the dead roaches.
Clean all the surfaces, handles, backsplashes, etc. and throw out the sponge. Put everything back in your kitchen. Make a habit of keeping your kitchen clean: trash cans with secure lids, no standing water or dirty dishes in the sink, no crumbs nowhere.
Live in peace!

Hm... light blue on all the walls.
It's neutral and compliments the warm colors you already have, plus it looks great on sunny days and not-so-sunny days.

*sigh* that is the kind of space i need

I wish I could find one under $50. I do like the one from West Elm a whole lot, though. Maybe I should save up.

Bon Ami is your friend for life.... just as great as Mrs. Meyer's but waaaaay cheaper & a few good old cast iron skillets. Those pop-up sponges (I get mine from Trader Joe's) are also pretty awesome.

Thank you LoriSF. My oven is in need of a good cleaning, but I didn't know what to do in terms of cleaning it with safe products. Love that I don't even have to buy anything new.
I'm kinda surprised to find the promotion of ammonia to use in this way (or any way) on this site.
