Silli's Profile

I would go with a slightly southwestern theme. Think of your orange counters as terra cotta. Getting rid of the clutter, changing out the hardware, painting the walls, and adding a rug and curtains will do wonders for hardly any $.

Like: automatic update of balances, display of interest rate information, graphics.
Dislike: No way to enter transactions manually, so it won't tell you if you've wrote a check for something already, or allow you to see future pinch points in your cash flow. t's especially annoying that I can't tell it that I've already scheduled a bill payment, so it reminds me that credit card bills are due even when I've already paid them. This is a dealbreaker for me, so I have to stick with the clunky desktop quicken.

Gorgeous!

2nd the chalkboard paint- saw this done on HGTV many years ago and it was really cute.

I've read good advice to sleep in the guest room for a few nights to make sure everything is in place!

I lived in an apartment building with no laundry room and tried to use the Wonder Wash. I was really disappointed in it, and ultimately sold it. As stated before, it rocks, hardly holds anything, and requires substantial physical effort to use. Also, the clothes come out really wet and take forever to dry. Later, I got a small washing machine that attaches to the sink, and absolutely love it. The Haier HLP21 washes easily and spins the clothes really dry so they spend less time hanging afterwards. Now that I have laundry in my building again, I still use my little machine for my small loads (cost me about $300).

Do these stay stuck on after the shades go up and down a few times?

My local dairy sells milk in glass bottles with a $1 deposit- however, their cost to purchase these bottles is MORE than $1 each. They lose a lot of money each year from people not returning their bottles, but they've found customers won't stand for a deposit any higher than $1. So if you're planning on keeping a lot of your glass bottles, you may want to check with the dairy first.

Were we really into the Yale tiny house? It looks to have only 3 comments.

When my parents pulled up the dining room carpet of their 1939 Tudor, they found a foot buzzer, which was apparently used to call the maid in from the kitchen (which was just one room over.) It was wired into the floor. We also have a mystery timer at the basement steps.
