Magstermash - Yah, I'd be willing to do a post. Thanks for the compliment!

Rosenatti - funny, I'm fairly construction illiterate, too. I started with a set of bookshelves - because how hard can a couple big rectangles be, right? - and prayed through every cut. You can't imagine my elation when they turned out to be the same height! Then I moved on to something a bit more challenging - a captain's bed for my son. WAY out of my league, but I did it (and the drawers work and everything!). The Ikea hack dresser was actually probably harder than the bed. Don't know that I'll ever tackle anything with drawers again. :-) Amazingly enough, none of those projects had plans to them other than what was in my head, so I'll have to think about those step by step instructions - I'll get back to you.

I think you people are forgetting that each of our homes is about that very thing - what makes home to us. It's about surrounding ourselves with things we find beautiful. That translates differently to everyone. Our homes and design style are unique to each of us. What one person would be loathe to live with may be absolutely beautiful to someone else. I agree that critique is good, because it helps us grow and see things our eyes may not have been opened to before, but we should remember our critique is as unique to us as our design style.

I have one of these! I've had it for about 5 years, installed it myself. It's never fallen off, and it's a lifesaver for shaving in the shower. (All we have is a shower stall, so I can't sit on the edge of the tub). We have white shower tiles that are about the same size square as the footrest, so it blends right in. I lo-ove this product - for the record. :-)

The walls in my laundry room are close enough together that I was able to put a shower curtain rod in there, so my clothes can go right from the washer to the rod. I also have a retractable clothesline outside.

I would use my dryer less if it weren't for the fact that air dried clothes, towels, etc. come out so stiff. I like the fluffy, comfortable feel from the dryer. Anyone who line dries regularly have any tips for making the former more comfy?
