Less is more, but nothing is still nothing. To me, minimalism works only when everything in the room is perfect. A pared down space shines light on everything that remains; if those o...

Me three! Please, AT, tell us what the wall is!

$6.95 per pound is "mid-priced" pasta? On what planet? I wish they had tested a few more mainstream brands -- De Cecco in particular has done well in a lot of other tastings.

No unitaskers! Even alluring green ones :)

I bought a condo in an all-electric building, and thought I would *hate* the stove, but I'm getting used to it. I have a fairly middle-of-the-road GE glass-top ceramic range. But when...

I live outside of Boston, and feel fortunate to have found a decent size loft for about $325k -- affordable for me, although it's a lot more than I was paying before. Prices here haven't dropped m...

They look like those decals you use to avoid bird strikes. I guess these protect against anti-consumerist birds?

Satisfaction? From doing chores? Man, I'm clearly doing something wrong!

I like the rest (especially the Betsy Burnham bedroom), but that pink and brown room makes me very very sad.

Put some art on your walls, or mirrors, or something else that makes you happy. For some reason, the lack of things-on-the-walls is making it look unfinished, to me.

MichaelF, air conditioners don't emit CO2, or anything else. But covering them while in use is indeed a bad idea; those ugly fins at the back are used to release the heat they remove from your apa...

If you really need to work at the desk, you owe it to yourself to use a comfortable chair. If you have bad posture and are typing a lot, you can end up with serious RSI -- and trust me, it's not w...

I doubt you'll be able to paint over the lacquer without some prep, but a good sanding should make it possible. If the lacquer is actually lacquer, it may be possible to strip it off with lacquer ...

I agree with Jamiealyse, the use of vintage-style cabinets in a modern arrangement is a really nice touch. The last image strikes me as looking awfully fresh for being 50 years old. T...

A lot of these just seem way too small...the Martha Stewart bins look like they'd hold exactly one of the milk cartons pictured on them. A lot of recycling bins seem to have a full size slot for t...

Considering an off-the-shelf 73" RPTV is ~18" deep, 30" depth actually seems a bit bulky.

I think you mean that the Method soap is "elusive," not "illusive."

It's worth pointing out that the freezer guidelines are for taste, not safety; frozen foods are safe indefinitely, but their flavor and texture suffer over time. If you have a rarely opened chest ...

ceedetroit, those sound like pretty nifty kitchens. Any pics online, that you know of?

Many of these appear to be smaller than a load of laundry. What use is that?
