When we redid our porch, we had the front walkway (which curves slightly) angle up from the sidewalk (no steps) and put in an ADA-approved threshold on the door. Most people don't realize it's a wheelchair ramp. The people who need it, though, appreciate it a lot! It's made me want to keep universal design in mind as we remodel the rest of the house.

I think there was a very similar post a couple of years ago, which is where I got an Italian chicken salad recipe that I've taken to new moms since. It's always a hit. What Good Meals to Bring to a New Mom? 10 Recipe Ideas |

We have someone come and do our sewage clean-out every year. It seems to be pretty important (we were going to skip it this year but ended up with a backup), and yet I never hear people talk about it. Is it because our pipes are old or something?

I like it, too. I did think it looked like the kitchen cabinet doors were missing (as opposed to intentionally removed), but then we got to the photo of the homeowner on the counter and I didn't care anymore - love that shot! Michele & Ryan Tansey's Antiquarian Hideaway House Tour |

The first year in our house all our money went into "invisibles" - water-saving toilet, insulation in the walls, new heat pump, etc. I would have rather bought furniture, but we reap the benefits of efficiency every day. 9 Things I Wish I'd Known About Decorating a First Home |

JudiAU's comment took me by surprise. I have _Home Comforts_ and have read it several times - can't remember child rearing stuff in it (I don't have kids, so maybe I just didn't pay attention?).

Some nice ideas here, but offputting, for sure. I didn't need to see the pair of shoes or the turned around books. Was fun to see the iMac (I have the same one), though that's also completely impractical - its hard drive can't do sh** anymore. Samantha & Lindsey's Bright Beach Cottage House Tour |

I like this! But I doubt it's less than 800 square feet - my house is 2 bedroom, 1 bath at 760 and there's no room for a dining table. Maggie & Ryan's Quietly Colorful Queen Anne Apartment House Tour |
