I love it, and I love the way the colors draw the eye to the varying surfaces -- in the last picture, standing-seam roof, wood shingles, slate shingles, clapboard, fieldstone. I also like the noti...

ekd, I used to live in Tempe, I'm well-acquainted with PV, I know how far $20 will get you through the Valley's sprawl, I know how meaningless corporate (and fraternity/sorority) public relations s...

Lots of people assuming it's "silly", but nobody (including the one who had them) saying they've tried it and it doesn't work, and in what way they don't work . . . do they push dirt around, or hol...

I'd just leave everything as is, but get rid of that hideous orange paint design on the side that faces the living room, and hide the countertop clutter.

Some of the flannel sheets out there these days shed, and continue to do so after many washings. Not good.

The Clinton house (actually old, but not actually Dutch nor actually Colonial): http://query.nytimes.com...

It just occurred to me that Romney's house is staged for the photo shoot to look like it's on a lake -- but actually it's surrounded by a moat.

There's no way the McCains actually live in a condo tower in Phoenix. They (his wife) are worth around $50 million -- money made from encouraging drunk-driving via the ownership of the third-large...

I've been happy with TWCNYC in Harlem, but if I were running a business I'd pay for that and DSL simultaneously, and just switch off when there's a problem. It's a small additional expense.

Coyote hammocks sound really cool! And fancy!!!

Actually, it got lost in the current NY Open Thread: I'm trying to find purple-purple interior wall paint, and can't. What I'm looking for is a 4-year-old's idea of what purple means -...

jazzybel, your 8-year-old daughter should be the one to decide what clashes. Show her some paint chips next to the chair, and also some examples of other colors that clash or harmonize with each o...

I'm trying to find purple-purple interior wall paint, and can't. What I'm looking for is a 4-year-old's idea of what purple means -- the secondary color, red blue. Everything I've found at Home...

pistachio

pumpkin

Those look great. A tiler and a general contractor both told me that it's virtually impossible to install the mesh-backed pennyrounds that are available today, without winding up with unsightly sp...

I don't see the point to kettles. What do they do that a small covered saucepan won't? Add clutter? Yes.

Easy to clean: just crush and melt it, then reblow into the original shape.

I want the chair version of this -- something that can adjust from kitchen counter height down to dining table height.

14th Street, but not funky and not chic.
