Yeah... considering my dad's heart condition I don't think I'll be buying him a pork poster.

Frosting suggestion:
Dates are a really good sweetener and they lend some structural integrity too. I'd experiment with blending pitted medjool dates, cocoa powder, and maybe some cream or cream substitute like unsweetened Mimiccreme or coconut cream.

At first this sounded really tasteless but then I realised that when I finished my reno I had a deck-warming. So... I guess yay?

You could do what I do and just... not clean it.

Is that completely nasty?

How come that "stylish 60s Italian" wall lamp looks exactly like the Jonathan Adler verson?

I have dark wood in my kitchen and it's dark, bleak and super crappy in the winter.

I have both towel hooks and storage caddy. I love both.

If you can put holes in the walls, there are some really nice products out there. Mine are from Emery & Cie.

They're great if you have another one inside. I lived in a house in NZ where the outhouse was the only toilet. Not so great in the middle of the night during a rainy storm.

Plenty of scary incidents closing the door and finding a huge bug staring at you, too.

Which is the Best Green Cleaner? Reader Survey | Apartment Therapy Re-Nest

What I really want to know is, how do these kitchens get away with having no extractor fan above the stove? And isn't there a nasty, greasy buildup on the shelf above? I would kill to be able to get rid of my extractor, but I just can't imagine life without it, or rather I can, in gross detail. What am I missing?
