Don't like the after at all. Go back to before . . .

I've switched to dry wax paper. It is alot like sandwich wrap.

I use it in the microwave to cover dishes, wrap baked potatoes in it when cooking in the microwave. Wrap various items in it to keep in the fridge. It is very cheap, takes the place of saran wrap (although it does still go to the landfill - in that respect Bee's wrap has the edge.

It cannot go into the oven like parchment paper however, but then neither can saran wrap.

A question that has always been on my mind - if marble is such a nightmare to maintain, then why is it used for transoms (divider section on the floors of doorways?

Somehow those seem to hold up. Wonder why?

So great! Love this house and your whimsical design! This is such a cozy house and well designed!

Well done and thank you for sharing!

Ditto kelleyk, I refused to join as I will not let them access my twitter or facebook contacts.

I hope my friends are not letting them access my info through their account either. I think it is terrible that the only way to join is to whore out your friend's contact info.

I can't stand these lists that say if you haven't used it in 6 months get rid of it. I have things I haven't used for 10 years and then I'll need it for something and it keeps me from going out and buying all new items.

I hadn't made cupcakes in 10 years and was so glad that I had everything to make them w/o going out and buying all new items again. I do the same with clothing that I might not have worn for 7 years, but will then need a scarf, halloween costume, or something to wear to a party or wedding / event. I'm so glad that I kept it in my closet instead of trashing things and going out and buying all new every year.

I think it is time to re-evaluate these lists that keep telling you to get rid of things instead of hanging on to your existing (usually higher quality) items so that you can re-use them instead of wasting money and contributing to the consumerist side of the economy.

I say if you have the room, and you think you might use it again, don't listen to these crazy "if you haven't used it in a year . . ." philosophies. In the long run, it is a wasteful ideal.

Sooo tired of mcm, and hope this phase is soon over.

Bring me more modern house tour please!

oh for gosh sakes, how precious are these posts, meaning that you're blaming AT or Maxwell for being over the top about money and jeans, yet the reverse snobbery here is laughable.

I agree the video needed to be post-informative, but Why can't you just take it as new information to add to your trivia file - Oh, how interesting, I never knew about raw denim.

Well I'm tired of looking at house tours that have no inspiration and look like dorm rooms, so there. Take that in your reverse snobbery noses and stuff them :)

Just because there are items on here you might not afford, doesn't mean you can't get an idea from them. I am not rich, but I certainly don't want to look at poor people's homes (like me) to get ideas for my home. I want to look at expensive, designed, homes to do my own version at a price I can afford.

Get over yourselves!

This place is adorable!
Not like so many posts that fill their home with junk w/o thought.

Money is not important but taste is! What great taste you have!

I'm with you on the finalists 519. I can't believe these are the finals out of the spaces I saw. The same thing happened last year too.

I guess I'll forego participating in the future if this is not tallied properly.
