I swear that apartment therapy reads my mind. Often times when I have a dilemma, it ends up being a blog topic the very next day!

I just discovered these little maggot type things in my dry rice. I bought a 5 lb bag about 7 months ago and have always taken the rice out of the bag to use it (which was stored on our pantry floor). I just recently got a vintage ball glass jar (without the rubber seal) and transported the remains of my rice into it and stored it in a cupboard as opposed to the pantry. 3 days later, I find it infested with these maggots. I didn't have this problem until I transported it because the little bit I had left in the bag on the pantry floor was fine.

Thank you for all of your tips on this!

This is fantastic and so inspiring! We live on the 4th floor and have about 3 sq feet of covered porch 6 steps (steps are shared with 1 neighbor). The porch faces west and does not get much light, so I'm risking my neighbor bumping into them and have put 3 potted plants going down the steps (where there is more light). I also hung a topsy turvy tomato plant, which I think is horribly ugly to look at but the good reputation of it has made me curious.

I would take down the chair rail and paint it all white. I'm a firm believer in natural wood, however it needs to be the right kind of wood.

This is a very helpful post.

I love the glass bottle in this picture. Do you know the source?
