Genius. I am going to file this under "Why didn't I think of this?" It looks great, you get the benefit of a gate plus the nice solid door.

Well said! This is what the AT community is all about. I am totally second what MADIKAY said that constructive criticism has its place but lately I feel like AT posts keep getting attacked unfairly.

I totally would put the tardis cat box in my family room. Most of the geek items in our house (my husband and I are both engineers) are smaller or we take the for our desk at work. We did however name our cats after engineers in tv shows we like: Trip (Star Trek: Enterprise) and Kaylee (Firefly).


Geek Chic Design: Where Do You Draw The Line?

So when my then boyfriend and now husband and I moved in together, we made a deal. He cooked and I did dishes. We do our laundry separately and at the time we cleaned our own bathrooms. I tended to take on the rest of the household chores but I need things cleaner than he does.

We both have masters degrees as engineers and work full time. I do make more than him but I wish it was the other way around.

Fast forward 6+ years, 2 cats and 2 kids later, he still cooks and I do dishes. We each do our own laundry and take turns doing the household/kids laundry. He cleans bathrooms (he made the mistake of critizing my cleaning and thus he became in charge of it) but I scrub tubs and clean the floors. We rotate on vacuuming depending on who has time. I do most of the childcare. He does trash. We both do household repairs.

There are days when I really need him to do more but there are days when he surprises me with getting everything done without me evening asking. I tend to do more of the organizing and sorting because I need that in my life. My husband doesn't seem to be bothered if there is mail on the table or dirty kitchen towels on the stairs. It is a balance and kind of worked itself out on its own. I am very lucky that he does so much. I think if you can find the system that works for you and your spouse that is what is important.

I would take wood grain contact paper and use that to wrap the outside of the drawer leaving only the drawer fronts white. It would add some texture but still have the classic white feel. Plus it should go well with the aqua

My mom would always throw our toothbrushes in the dishwasher after we have cold to clean them.

Great Post! What brand of suitcasse do you use? I have found it hard to find one that is light and still fits everything.

As a kid, my sister and I had a play ironing board and it was one of our favorite toys. Not only could we use it for ironing our cabbage patch doll clothes but it was great to use in fort building. This one is great and love that it is DIY.
