Here's a more temporary but equally thrifty solution: Cover the frame with a printed fabric you love or a favorite tea towel, stretched over the edges and stapled or even taped to the back. You can always remove it later if you change your mind.

...I have this exact book framed in my kitchen. Weirdddd:

You're just lucky it's low pile. When I was in college we had SHAG in the bathroom. I can't remember, it was either green or pink. Or pink that had begun to turn green.

Any time this becomes a huge nit-picky issue, it's probably a symptom of a bigger problem in the relationship. A solid couple isn't afraid to communicate if something is unsatisfactory, and the other person should be caring enough to try to remedy the issue.

For my live-in boyfriend and I, grocery shopping is almost something to look forward to, we love going together every week. We switch who pays every other week. We both work full time and make about the same, so that makes budgeting easy, but even in situations where that isn't the case (like when one of us wasn't working or got a bigger promotion) we would contribute equally either with effort or with money.

Since I go to work earlier than him, it makes sense for me to cook dinner usually, and clean as I go, because I'm home first. He makes up for it by packing my lunches for the next day, so I don't have to wake up any earlier. As for the "whoever cooks doesn't clean" philosophy, in my experience from having roommates during college, everyone was always cooking and baking because it is so much more fun and they knew they wouldn't have to deal with the consequences. Then the kitchen was always a mess and some poor soul who didn't have time to cook would get stuck cleaning up after it.

Can it really be called a round-up when Urban already rounded up all these products themselves in their newsletter not two days ago?

The resultant compost isn't the only reason people keep compost bins. If the food waste ends up in the landfill and covered up it will break down much much more slowly. Turning it quickly back into dirt is much better for the environment.

Our screens are pretty much destroyed, and unfortunately our cat loves sticky things, so that idea won't help. She tries to eat packing tape whenever I have it out.

Did anyone go to college and *not* do this?

Baking soda is good too....unfortunately I have rust stains on my counter which are much tougher to remove than the sink.

Just painting all the picture frames one color (black?) would really unify things.
