Mine are both surprise birthday party disasters from college. At the first party, the guest of honor sat down and cried as soon as we yelled "Surprise!". Not out of delight, but that he was 26 an...
If you live in an urban center like New York, getting away with not owning a cell phone could work. I wouldn't want to try it, but I can see how one can live without it. In car-dependent Californ...
I have enough horrible house guest stories to fill a book, so I now I only allow select people to stay over, and have a tight time limit on their visit. No kids (no exceptions), no pets, and we ea...
A movie with Meryl Streep has been filming in my city (Santa Barbara; supposed to be out at Christmas), although not my neighborhood. Lots of blocked off blocks of the downtown area, but not too b...
My parents bought a lot of solid teak furniture in Denmark back in the late '60s; it is still beautiful and looks appropriate. Agree that the classic MCM pieces will endure; the knock-off stuff lo...
Hasbarco,
There have been a few new condo projects under consideration where "low income units" would have to be included. The city decided that "low income" would be $180,000. Docto...
I live at the beach in Santa Barbara; even in this market, the selling price is about $2,000 per square foot. In Bel Air, Malibu or Beverly Hills, I could have way more house than I have here.
Ball up newspaper and put it in your shoes; it absorbs moisture and odors. Also great for keeping moths out of your cashmere and wool. I've used it against moths for years; works fantastically we...
Why would it be assumed that anyone would give a flip about what is in Jennifer Garner's refrigerator? What can we next look forward to, appetizer ideas from Nicole Richie?
Really uncomfortable to get in and out of something that low to the ground. Mildew is also an issue with no ventilation under the mattress. I agree with all of the comments about cleanliness/bugs...
Sorry, but it is "which rug do you like better", not "best". For two points of comparison, the word is "better"; for a superlative comparison (three or more), the correct word is "best".
Smallest, coolest...this place is amazing. Fantastic design, no wasted space anywhere, yet the living room area looks relatively open and spacious.
The dog does look great in the ap...

Pink, purple, teal or yellow would all be atrocious to live with.
I remember this from my mom's MS magazine, had to have been early-mid 90s.
Looks very good; the floors are beautiful. You have warmed my minimalist heart.

With the kind of weather Germany is famous for, using a bike as a primary mode of transportation would be challenging indeed. Oakland, not so bad.

Peace, quiet and privacy. If you are lacking those, nothing else can make up for them.
That room could give me a seizure.
Gorgeous. Agree with bepsf; if you are going to build big, build like this.

Not my style at all, but really beautifully done. I'm exhausted at just thinking about living in 7,600 square feet.
