I subscribe to both AD and Elle Decor. I think AD's articles are too short and they often mention design elements but never show them. Makes me crazy. AD's focus on ultra-high-end spaces also leaves me unsatisfied...anything is possible with all that money...but I'm not aspiring to reproduce any looks.

In the 1950's, my grandmother and aunt had false mantels which they papered inside with something like this - http://www.secondhandrose.com/paperc/9.htm - but with more colors like this http://www.secondhandrose.com/paperc/1.htm .

I owned two victorian era houses in MA when I was too broke to pay for help. I got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the floors with steel wool and strong soap powder (and water) I bought at the hardware store (the brand name of the soap escapes me). I wiped the floors dry with a towel as I proceeded. When the floor was dry I put a few coats of water based polyurethane on them.

My New England bathroom is almost identical to the photo except I have white walls (!). But I have a large wall space and put up a 3 x 4 foot map framed with a border that matches the color in the glass lampshades. Then another smaller map on the adjacent wall. My point is that large well framed graphics can transform the space. I also have no fluff or foo fraw in my bathroom.

I made the mistake of buying an LCD set for the bedroom that was cheaper than well known brand names. (Amazon sells it among others). One part failed after a couple of months and I had to wait for the part to be shipped by the mfr - at least I was under warranty. 2 years later something else went wrong. I was out of warranty and the mfr wanted me to ship it back and charge me $250 for repair. I found out that the parts are not available except from the mfr.

I have a 27" Olevia and the Infrared reader failed twice. The first time it was under warranty and they had to fix it; the second time they wanted to charge me $250 to have someone come to my house to fix it. With no guarantee that it won't fail again, my best option is to replace it with a grown up LCD. Apartment Therapy - Good Question: Best LCD on a Budget |

My method is similar. I use (only) heavily salted water and put the chicken in before turning the stove on. I cook at the lowest possible setting (I have an electric stove and that setting is quite low) for an hour or so. Then I turn off the heat and let the pot sit for a while. How To: Poach Chicken |

and no I'm not a packrat - the Mojo mags are the only magazines I collect. All the others go to the hospital reading cart my sister runs. Good Questions: How Can I Let Go of My Mags? |

I see the Mojo mags there. I am missing a few issues from year one. If you have any from year one I'd love to buy them. Post a response and let me know. Good Questions: How Can I Let Go of My Mags? |
