My mother in law has a Garmin and has been very pleased with the results. It has a touch screen and is very easy to use. They were cautious with it at first, only using it to get to places that they were familiar with, but have since branched out and are depending on it to get them wherever they need to go. The interface is user friendly and the speaker is very clear so you don’t have to ...

We live one a little over an acre, all planted in grass.  Mowing with a walk-behind mower would be labor intensive, so we bought a riding mower.  When we first moved in, we bought a used John Deere and it served us well, until it started to have mechanical problems.  We liked the John Deere brand so much we decided to replace it with an upgrade.  What we like about it: ...

I was looking for something to use to store items in our pet rat rescue area. We needed something that would work for a variety of items... water bottles, towels, blankets, "hammocks", toys, wheels and more. We browsed around at Walmart, and happily came across this gem.They're baskets, but they stack. They're easily (and ligh!) to take around the house if you'd like, and ...

We bought Legacy cabinets for our kitchen remodel over a year ago and have been very satisfied with the product.  We were looking for a mid range price cabinet with good quality and these looked like the best for the money.  We had a couple of slight problems with the finish on a couple of the doors when they were delivered, but we had no problem getting them replaced.  The const...

I was so excited when we moved into our new home because it had so much MORE cabinet space than our townhouse.  Unfortunately, once I began to organize my kitchen I soon found that quite a bit of my cabinet space was either too high for me to reach (I'm vertically challanged:0) OR too deep to get to the back of and stuff got lost in the depth!So, I began to research what I could do and...

My husband has put in kitchen cabinets in our newly built house by Schrock Handcrafted Cabinetry. He had bought it an Menards, using some huge discount that allowed us to purchase about $50,000 worth of cabinets for only $13,000. These cabinets are available in many different kinds of wood; we chose Maple, Natural, since we both prefer lighter shades. The cabinets come all done & finished, ...

When I bought my house it had no kitchen!  The prior owner was in the middle of remodeling the house when he got sick. I was on a very limited budget for finishing the work on the house, so I shopped around to find the best deals on everything.  I found that Menard's unfinished oak cabinets were the best deal for the kitchen.  They are a great cabinet at a great price! I boug...

Remodeling costs are enormous around our area.  To find cheaper you have to pay for people to come from out of town.  Believe me, they may not tell you that you will pay for them to travel, but you will know once you see the bill.My options were limited.  To add some much needed counter space and cabinetry to my kitchen, I went for a far cheaper approach.  I am all about sav...

They come in three wide or narrow drawers types. They come  in tall and narrower cabinets that have up to six drawers. These cabinets are translucent which allows see what's in them.  Sterilite 3 Drawer Stor...

Our house has a small sunroom located between the kitchen and the dining room. Because of its size and location we had no idea what to do with it so to my delight, my husband suggested we make it into the craft room I had always wanted. The two things I needed most in a craft room was a great work space to spread out on and lots of storage for all my stuff. We solved the work space problem...

A few years ago I was shopping at Meijers and wandering down their limited furniture aisle looking for a small cabinet for a little collection of salt and pepper shakers I wanted to display.  Having looked for a while at various stores for some time I wasn't sure they would even have what I was looking for.I came upon a sale section and saw this cute little cabinet way up on a top...

This is a 3 drawer cart where the drawers are stacked on top of another and it is on wheels so you can easily move the entire thing. This sits in my closet where there is only one shelf, so this makes extra storage space for small miscellaneous items. I use one for craft supplies, chargers and wires and the third for socks and undergarments. You can even buy drawer organizers to make things eve...

It seems like everytime I walk into my sons' room the floor is covered with games and movies. They have a bad habit of just leaving things lay where they used them. When I recently decided to fix up their room, I wanted to get a cabinet to hold all their games, movies and books. I found this storage tower at Walmart and decide it was just what I needed. It had to be put together but wa...

CUBEicals are truly innovative storage.  I came across them about two years ago at Walmart, and knew right away that I had to have them for our apartment.  They lend themselves so easily to whatever space you have and whatever purpose you need them for.A single CUBEical is a perfectly square storage unit.  The dimentions are 24" X 24" or two feet tall and two feet wide....

When I finally had a room all to myself for crafting, I wanted it to be functional and organized. I wasted more time looking for things that I needed than I did actually working on projects. I had lots of small tiny things like beads, brads and eyelets and need safe, practical storage for them. It was in the hardware department of Big Lots that I found the perfect storage cabinet for my needs.T...

I bought this bookshelf on a whim.  We were in need of some extra storage by my husband's desk for his computer books and the boxes of spare parts he keeps on hand.  (Being a computer guy, he's always fixing something for someone!)  I saw this while I was out and gave into the $15 sale price and bought it.Right from the start, I wasn't impressed.  Although I knew...

We have a Jack and Jill bathroom in our house that is divided into 3 separate sections. The middle section is where the toilet and the bathtub are and in this section there is no cabinet or storage space. We needed a place to put things in there like soaps, extra toilet paper and other little things so we decided we needed an over the toilet cabinet also called a spacesaver in there.W...

A few years ago a new office addition was built where I work.  Luckily I was to have my new office there.  In the bathroom there was a great need for some type of storage cabinet to keep supplies in.     My boss went to Meijers and purchased the Ameriwood White Storage Cabinet. This cabinet is 31-1/2" high, 24" wide and 12" deep.  There are two ...

Originally, we planned on getting different kitchen countertops, but that brand turned out to be too expensive, and the manufacturer did not allow self-installation, so we could not save of that, either. After some thinking and shopping around, we opted for CustomCraft countertops sold by Menards. These are typical laminated countertops with semi-custom edging. Base material made of chip-board;...

Our small and old TV rack got busted because of the TV weight so we decided to buy one last year. We had been to several malls to check on their department stores a multi-purpose cabinet for the living room. Hubby found this one in Riverbanks Mall and immediately liked it. It has several divisions to accommodate the TV, DVDs, picture frames, figurines, and more. On the left side, you can keep s...
