Have you tried out the Sherman Williams color visualizer tool?--it's pretty cool. I'd go with a very light aqua/grayish green--check out "apple slice" or "sagey." Love your mirrored fur...

I agree covered is best. I bought a Lotta Jansdotter fabric tissue box cover (on SALE), because I just had to. http://jansdotter.com...

I am pretty much a hardass when it comes to the entryway. My SO's shoes in the middle of the floor (instead of in the basket I put there for shoes) drives me nuts. After all, it's the first thing y...

I am now seeing the downside of there being a DC AT--this will be gone before I have the chance to get to the store! At least you haven't blogged my favorite stores yet.

I have a similar sofa, which I had reupholstered in a crazy orange ultrasuede. I have a small wing chair that I had reupholstered in a complementary print. I have Danish modern in storage, and I th...

I think this trend will fade. I can't wait to have a snazzy dining room! One with a huge table (via a leaf) that can accommodate my large family or a huge gang of pals. That's one of the things I d...

I second TJMaxx and Marshall's for basic bedding. I've had good luck at Garnet Hill--they have good sales.

I am anti-open shelves in many cases for the reason you cite, nadyamadrid, but I have my cookbooks in a similar spot, and they are so high up that grime has not been a problem. They've been up ther...

While not an exact copy, it reminds me a lot of the Pottery Barn Studio Wall Shelf. You could probably have something similar made--that's what I did once when I knew exactly what kinds of bo...

fancy! I need.

Oy, guess I missed that--thanks! It is a beaut.

aw, couldn't you just give us the price so we don't have to register to find out? I'd like to have a point of comparison for my own collecting.

Here's a fabulous okra recipe: I sub lima beans for the edamame./fava roasted potato and okra salad

Also a-mazing is maple butter, which is addition to frosting cupcakes you can eat by the spoonful.

I buy it at my farmer's market in fall--it is wonderful in coffee, if you're of the "coffee is a dessert" variety.

Rakoff really hit the nail on the head. Depressingly bad. I so fondly remember those cartoons from my childhood about the house of the future--and it was rad! Technological innovations to mak...

I'm with purlgreyhound. I don't like the fluffy stuff either, but have yet to find a recycled brand I can tolerate. I guess that makes me a soft ass :)

I needed this too, as I am on a new path when it comes to my home. I have felt reluctant to put a lot of effort into a rental that I won't be living in as long as I already have been. Like most thi...

trying again

Just roasting them would make a delicious relish, but maybe you want to get ambitious with your bounty and make chipotles! I found some instructions:
