Are You Into Quickies?
I love the idea of a quick romp between the sheets. An impromptu noon-er with your man sounds pretty spontaneous, exciting, sexy, and hot, doesn't it?
The only thing is that a guy can usually orgasm in three minutes or less, especially when he's super-excited, but it can take a girl much longer to climax.

Casa Quickie: Cable Clutter Fix
Artist Maisie Maud Broadhead has come up with the most clever solution to those ever-pesky cables in our homes. Using cable fixings, she attached her lamp cord to the wall above her mantel, "drawing" a beautiful trompe-l'œil installation. I've seen plenty of ways to hide your cable cords — like the beads I posted this week — but this remedy doesn't conceal electrical wire, but rather showcases it, turning the eyesore into the eye-catching.
Casa Quickie: Scotchguard Your Whites
Keeping your whites white is a never-ending task, whether you're talking teeth, tennis, or anything, really. When upholstery is the task at hand, Scotchguard can be your saving grace. The product repels liquids and blocks stains, pushing spills away from your fabric so that marks come out easily when washed.
Casa Quickie: Move Flowers Off the Table
If you're squeezed for space on your Thanksgiving table (and let's face it, who isn't?) try this easy idea. Instead of placing a pretty bouquet front and center on your dinner table, move it to a side table or buffet instead. This will free up room for the turkey and stuffing, and will also avoid any accidental tipping of the bouquet.
Casa Quickie: Add Pink With Flowers
If you live with someone who has a total aversion to the color pink, you can still add it to your house in small doses. The easiest way? By using flowers, of course!
Casa Quickie: Warm Up Your Kitchen With Red Appliances
Not ready to take the plunge and invest in an all red kitchen? Then create a big impact with minimal color investment by using a red stove or refrigerator in your kitchen. You can paint the rest of the kitchen with more neutral colors, or, as in this Amsterdam kitchen, you can choose gorgeous natural wooden cabinets.
Casa Quickie: Mix Warm and Cool Colors
Since complementary colors offer a very strong contrast, using them together is a great way to assert your decorating personality in a bold and confident manner. For instance, this cool turquoise color, used throughout most of this room, is offset by one splash of red, shown in this loveseat. While the loveseat is only one element, it actually dominates the room.

Casa Quickie: Steady Your Wobbly Table
Are you guilty of tossing wine corks when you open a bottle? Instead of adding them to the waste stream, save those corks for something that won't give you dark circles under your eyes, deathly hangovers, or liver problems. Slice your wine corks into thin circles and use them to steady any wobbly legs of your dinner table.
