		<title>Vanilla Ice has a Home Improvement Show&#8230;WTF!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, it has recently been announced that Vanilla Ice of &#8220;Ice Ice Baby&#8221; fame (he was so cool when i was in the 3rd grade) is slated to have his own home improvement show on the DIY Network. Apparently, Vanilla has spent the last few years flipping houses, so now I guess he is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>IKEA&#8217;s New Catalog Highlights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I swore off of IKEA for a few weeks after our move. I just couldn&#8217;t afford to keep going. Finally last weekend, I ended my self-imposed IKEA time-out. I drove over to Red Hook, Brooklyn and bought a bunch of little things that I needed for the apartment. It wasn&#8217;t glamorous, but it was nice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vote! To Paint Or Not To Paint (The Closet Doors)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks back I introduced you to the hallway/entryway to my new apartment. (Remember?) I still like what we have done, but I&#8217;m considering making an upgrade to the two closet doors directly off the hallway. I want to paint them a glossy dark gray or even black. What do you think? Vote or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Insta-Mood Lighting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that some people actually use their florescent overhead lights? It amazes me that anyone could stand living that way. I guess maybe I&#8217;m just sensitive to that sort of thing, but I insist on having good lighting. Since we moved into our new place there has been one thing bugging me&#8230;the [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Weekend: Blood Orange Mojitos!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this recipe on Design*Sponge and am determined to try it. Not only is the color amazing, but blood oranges are one of my favorite fruits.  Whenever I see them in the grocery store I buy at least 15 at a time. Typically, they aren&#8217;t available until the dead of winter, but you can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decorating with a sense of humor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend I was determined not to spend money. So it was probably a mistake to go the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday. I went with a friend and while both of us went in with the intention of &#8220;just looking,&#8221; we ended up walking out with bags. Oh well. After much rationalizing I ended [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Kitchen &#8211; Finishing What I Started</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been in our new place for a month now and we are still very much in the process of setting up everything. The living room, after much debate (and thanks for all your votes!) is painted a solid gray BUT will have molding added in the next few weeks. I&#8217;ll be sure to [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Weekend: Tinto de Verano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before we all go our separate ways this weekend, I want to share a recipe for a really nice summery drink. Its called Tinto de Verano and its a Spanish cocktail similar to Sangria but without the necessary soak time. Supposedly it is what Spaniards drink while tourists have Sangria ha ha. Its super simple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer at the Beverly Hills Hotel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its been a really hot summer. And while I sit inside huddled next to my little air conditioning unit, I imagine a more glamorous way to spend the summer&#8230;far far away from Brooklyn. How about the famous Beverly Hills Hotel? Ok, that might be out of my price range, but the famous hotel (also known [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve actually already written a few how-to&#8217;s in the past, they just weren&#8217;t labeled as such. But now you can easily access all &#8220;How-To&#8217;s&#8221; in the sidebar. Hopefully, this will be a helpful resource for you. Next time you aren&#8217;t sure [...]]]></description>
