Last night I read "The Tao of Pooh" and found this quote by Lao-tse: "To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day." That is how I feel about my apartment!
It is beautiful - just a dream. Thank you for sharing this!
I see where your mom sleeps now in the armoire murphy bed, but - just curious - where did you sleep when you were growing up? And ...
Gosh, I love window boxes full of flowers! I was just in Dublin, and the city looked beautiful with window boxes at the pubs and baskets of flowers hanging from lamp posts. It adds so much life t...
In a small space, it's a blessing for me to have music on my computer, iPod, and iPod speaker. I was so happy to get rid of even the CD binder! For me, it's all about the music, not the accoutrem...
You will get the film of dust-and-cooking-oil, and that's not very sanitary. Also, I think that it looks distracting with the doors off; much sleeker when everything is put away.
Someone left/added bleach in a washing machine that was still there - and potent - when I did my laundry. My brown shirt ended up with bleached out red spots. :(
I love Lack for storing books, as well as paper products and folders in magazine file boxes. It is so nice to be able to store 8.5x11 (or larger) things vertically. I also like that Lack looks mo...

Man, I loved the seafoam (aqua!), peach and lavender combo in the '80's! I had an Esprit outfit with those colors.
I would bring a gift, but as this is New York and very few people have extra space to store things (vases, bowls, coasters, etc.), I would recommend consumables, such as a food item (for example, a...
Ditto to all the other posters. When I was little and my dad made me pick up my stuff before the housekeeper came, I was really frustrated and confused; that was before I understood the difference...
My solution for not wanting to iron is...not to iron. If I take my clothes out of the dryer right when it finishes, I fold them smoothly, and then look fine. I can imagine how daunting the laundr...
Oh my God! My aunt and uncle had one of those in the early '80's! My sister, cousins and I played endless games in that thing. We all crawl into in and then fold the bed part on top of us like a...

Wouldn't you get chalk dust in your food?

I use a box that it intended to store nails/screws/bolts, etc. It closes securely, and it works perfectly.
