Caffeine altar: creating special space for your rough mornings
Back in my wild-partying days, I used to do this thing for myself: before I went out, I’d get my bedroom all set up to be the perfect come-down/hangover den. I’d make the bed and fold back the blanket. I’d leave the twinkly lights on. I’d set a glass of water on the bedside with a couple Advil, right next to the stereo remote. Basically, I got really good at anticipating my compromised mental/emotional state, and pre-creating a space to make it a little easier.
In my kitchen now, I’ve used the same idea to create the perfect caffeine altar.

Mount your record player on the wall in small spaces
See any room there on that counter for a bulky record player? No, neither do I. That’s why it’s brilliantly hung up on the wall! Sadly, this isn’t possible with your average record player…
Store your tips in these sweet-ass tip jars
My husband and I want to collect all my tips in a jar to be used for going out to eat, ordering pizza when we are feeling lazy, or anything else that might not quite fit into our budgeting. I want to have a tip jar on the main floor of our home, so it is easy to both drop my tips in right when I walk in the door, but I want something decorative, but not see-through since our main floor is all windows. I know my Offbeat Homies will have great ideas!
