whoops, found the link. Wow. Some years ago a friend of mine bought a house -- an early 20th century rowhouse (semi-detached) -- that had been done up in the late 60s/early 70s with the loudest w...
Actually, let's get back to the photo posted at the top of this discussion. Give us the story on that -- is it a stage set or a real bathroom? if it's real, how did it happen?

I have some friends who have been living in a studio with a loft bed for about 15 years, and are still happily married (but childless). It can be done, but it tests your tolerance and flexibility....
I remember clipping these feet out from an article in the Times or somewhere a few months ago -- does anyone remember? it was a piece showing a bunch of things that one might want just because the...
After getting rid of years worth of magazines, a couple of years ago, I now try to read, clip whatever I want, and get rid of magazines within a week after they arrive. I'm doing pretty well with ...
