<p>Now that the miserable Vancouver rain has set in, our utilities bill is almost double what it was last month (&amp; more than double what it was in August). We live in an old house and we rent, so replacing the windows is not an option. I&#8217;ve been googling whether or not to bother with the shrink film stuff since it seems awfully expensive for something I&#8217;d only keep up until spring (still undecided). In the meantime, I stumbled on <a title="winterizing moves" href="http://lifehacker.com/5390242/cheap-money+saving-winterizing-moves-worth-the-hassle">this great article from Life Hacker with handy winterizing tips</a>. I can&#8217;t imagine covering my windows with bubble wrap, but a programmable thermostat &amp; space heater for the room I spend the most time in is totally do-able.</p>
<p>Speaking of the room I spend the most time in, this crafty shelving solution from <a href="http://www.craftynest.com/2009/07/craft-and-tool-station/">Crafty Nest</a> makes me horny:</p>

<p>Seriously. Skip the wine and chocolates -build me a functional storage solution and I&#8217;m yours!</p>
<p><a title="Shoe Room" href="http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/2009/11/philip-and-cats-home-ikea-shoe-room-and.html">This guy from Ikea Hacker</a>? So after my heart with an entire shoe closet made for his girl. *sigh*</p>
