The guests have arrived, the wine has been poured and the lighting is perfect. But wait, something is missing. Oh, yes -- sparkling conversation and merry laughter have not yet arrived. All you hear a...
Having lived in extra small spaces before, we've often run across the need to store some of our kitchen items, well, out of the kitchen. One of the easiest things to pawn off into another room is your...
We've heard a lot about dumpster pools lately, but what about dumpster gardens? For the urban dweller, this is a great alternative to the rooftop garden. Plus, it's a perfect way to reuse and recycle ...

Q: Help! I'm going to a friend's house for dinner in a few days and want to bring a delectable dessert. Problem is... my friend is a vegetarian who doesn't eat anything enriched (i.e., white flour), a...
We love to leave our windows open during the summertime to catch a breeze. Not to mention during the Fall and Spring to bring in the lovely outdoor weather. Unfortunately, a damaged or torn screen can...
