I loved the Conran stores that existed Boston/NYC/Washington in the 80's -- never understood why they went out. The current NY store has lovely things, but it's so far away from anything else -- h...
Several people have put in this in the context of organic versus standard, and I'm curious why? Organic isn't necessarily "cleaner", just chemical free. One could argue that organic is more likel...
So glad you're doing a different route! But so sorry we can't join you. : - (

Fireplace as a focal point of the room -- a delight (and a rare treat for most of us.)
TV as focal point of the room -- horrible -- unless the room is specifically dedicated for entert...
Just read about Gourmet -- very sad. Always my preference over Bon App. Hopefully Saveur will step to the plate (so to speak) and help fill in the void.
Even if the FDNY didn't suggest this, why would you want to keep an alarm that goes off without reason -- to be awaken again, and filled with concern and doubt again ??? This is a no-brainer: get...
The Formica is clearly and original part of the furniture. I'd learn to live with it. But if you can't, then you really need to go with a professional.
I really dislike the current trend of making a flatscreen the center of attention in a room. I'm still using an old style tv, bjut it is kept in a cabinet and out view when not in use. When I do ...

As I re-read it, I'm certain she means paint for the walls.
I'd suggest a strong dark green (e.g. Forest green) -- which would give a strong punch of ...

You MUST see the Saarinen exhibit -- it's fantastic.
I second Ocean Parkway -- it's a lovely street.

To be avoided.
DO NOT TOUCH IT! And I agree with the others who ask why did you buy in an old building if you don't appreciate historical features???

Of questionable utility, and then there's the matter of taste . . .
Really? Why would black & white creep people out? It's all we had in our house until 1980 or so!!!
