Your tax dollars pay for libraries, so use them! I reserve books online and go pick them up. Our library is in a beautiful old building, so it's a pleasure to walk down there. I also get recipe ...
The whole point of craigslist is to be local, right? So why would you want to business with somebody with an international phone number for a rental or a couch?
As long as we are talking about unusual scents, I think Mandy Aftel of Aftelier perfumes (expensive!) is worth a mention, she only works with natural fragrances, which don't last that long on the s...
I've ordered a Calvin Klein rug from Macy's and the quality was so great! Really soft and velvety dense piling. I was very happy with the rug, but the color was way off.
I thought this was a great suggestion from Amy Sedaris....postage stamps. Especially useful when you are half unpacked in a new house, and you can't find all your stuff. Once I heard of a funny b...
The color can be bad depending on the room too...I would say a HORRIBLE color for a bathroom would be chartreuse, or any kind of green with a lot of yellow in it. It will make anyone's skin tone l...
Look at Crate and Barrel's Petrie sofa. I bought one 18 months ago, and I love it. It is great quality, a nice mid-range price, and I think it will last a long time. I also bought it because it ...
I agree with Patrick, I have Roman shades in my loft (huge windows) and they look very nice, clean, and simple. Also, you might want to check out Knoll fabrics, they have a nice collection of ligh...
Wow, that photo of eggs and bacon is so magnificently perfect. The closest thing I have ever had to that was at the Atlas Cafe in Ponsonby, Auckland NZ! So memorable.
My parents built a little vacation house (and I mean little) and they bought all Avanti appliances, which are much smaller than our standard sizes here in the US. Since we don't use these every da...
These look different from their vast line of crewel-work rugs. The crewel-work rugs are so beautiful with their patterns, but since they are really flat, they aren't cushy at all underfoot. Don't...
I'm instantly thinking of Blueprint magazine from a couple months ago, where they highlight different kinds of bedrooms, ie "the Unisex bedroom", "the Bold Color Bedroom" and the "if you live in yo...
Cons about a black toilet (to me, it just looks nightclub-sleazy) include: you can't see pee on the seat. Why not just go with black cabinets and floor, and let the white porcelain stand out in al...
The only apartment I've seen that's more sterile and creepy than the Stasi guy is the Jersey apartment of Lara Flynn Boyle (or Phillip Seymour Hoffman) in "Happiness". Ugh!
Well, not really a book....but every time I get an issue of Gastronomica, I'm on the couch reading an article right away. It's like the "New Yorker" for food, there are all different lengths of ar...

I love that vase, it reminds me of some Greek vases my parents brought back from the islands in the 60's.
What unusual colors! I love the large scale pattern.
