Pretty sure its called Genevieve’s Renovation. A whole bunch of HGTV shows were added October 1.

I love Genevieve Gorder. She was the only designer that I really enjoyed watching. She has her own show on Netflix where she remodels her own New York apartment and she still applies the same principals you are talking about. Especially because she is using her own things, so she works backwards into the room color…

“That’s where I hide things I need to smuggle past border checkpoints....”

I was just about to say this! I’ve seen anything so blatant as the amount of trash that people would decide needed to live in the bed of our truck. We had to clean something out every other day.

Oh my goodness, I caught hell from a group of my friends one time when we went out to eat dinner. We would meet weekly for dinner, usually just drinks and salads. We always all got separate bills and paid individually. For a dinner like that, even if my bill is only $15 or so, I will still tip a minimum $5. If the…

So not ok and I would have shamed them loudly and publicly. And then told the library about it....

I was married 15 years ago and if there had been a photography package like the one you are describing, I would have thrown my money at you so fast. This is a fantastic idea! I just wanted the photos, to pick which ones I wanted printed, and to do my own book. The best photographer we found gave us a quote and then…

What I do not understand are the other people who are dining with assholes like that. Who just watches that shit happen?! Everyone has a bad day and can get snippy without realizing it, but to hurl insults, curse words, and saliva at a 15 year old kid who is in control of your food? And then for everyone else to watch…

I have been in that situation too, where I had to defend myself against some friends who were upset that I wasn’t attracted to someone that they thought was nice and would be a good match. I was immediately set upon with comments of “what do you mean you aren’t interested? he has a job. he is nice. you are being…

OMG, my husband does this as well. It drives me batty, because I work really hard to make dishes that I think he will like and then without tasting it, BAM, hot sauce all over it so strong I can smell it from across the table.......

Why, thank you!

I know, right?! We giggle about it now, but it was scary as hell when it was happening.

I imagine that the kids would have been kicked out, if they had done anything. The father of the family was a nutter and would lurk around the school grounds, so I imagine it was more than just keeping us safe from the other kids. It did suck that year though, because we couldn’t go out for recess or have lunch in the…

When I was in the 5th grade, a family in our town started claiming that my mother was a witch and had placed curses and black magic upon them. We used to go all out decorating for Halloween, with my dad spending months building moving monsters and displays for the big event. Apparently, this family decided that we…

I have a rail-skinny grandmother who was never concerned about my losing weight or being skinny, but was nice enough to inform me that now that I was older and married, I could just buy comfortable pants now with elastic. I was 24......

oh, I agree, sometimes people gloss over alot because they don’t take the time to really look at something. If your piece is hallmarked, you can see if the mark is in this website’s database:

I just finished a makeover on a dresser as well and I hit a point about halfway through where I thought “this might not have been the best idea”. But it turned out great, so happy thoughts to you!

Those kinds of vintage collectible can go for big money on eBay! Keychains, fridge magnets, patches and pins are all items most people don’t look twice at but can be worth it to the right collector.

I love thrifting and yard sales so much! I find lots of good stuff too, that makes me look around and wonder why someone else hasn’t gotten it. Latest great find: a yard sale where a woman let me buy all of her mom’s old costume jewelry for $20 because “no one wants the old, funky stuff anyway”. Got home and found a…

Yeah, it is the heat. I have never had a problem with my rings fitting, no matter what size I was, but the extreme heat here makes my fingers swell. Same thing with my husband, he has to wash his hands with soap to try and get his rings off!
