Cool Idea: Stacking Fridge Keeps Shared House Peace
When I lived with housemates, the main points of contention in our shared living situation involved the kitchen. There were the piles of dirty dishes, and then there was the messy, rotten food-filled fridge. I like the idea of this stacking fridge from Electrolux, which allows people living in multiple-housemate situations to keep their personal food in each separate compartment.

Ask Casa: Help! It's So Dry In My House!
Hi Casa,
I just moved to a new place, and I'm having trouble with the humidity (or lack thereof).

I am about to move into a new rental in a new neighborhood, very different from where I have been living for the last 15 months.
