I looked all over for these when I was buying a new kitchen table/chairs. Grange made a chair with a similar look but much more refined. Sadly, it was way out of my budget. Martha Stewart also ma...

I live around the corner from the Pepto Palace. Agree that it's worse looking in person.

sfarchitect, I really like this kitchen. I'm not a big fan of open shelving (too high-maintenance cleaning wise for my taste) but I think the pot rack is a great use of space for a wall that is sa...

I was in the exact same place last year. My husband and I don't have much time (or energy) for cleaning during the week and then half our weekend was being spent dusting, sweeping, and scrubbing. ...

I vote for a hunter green.

Oh no! Cottage Living was such a great small-space design magazine. I've never lived in a cottage, but living in small NYC apartments it's was so nice to have a whole design magazine devoted to d...

The NYC tax department took photos of every building in the city in the early 1940s. I ordered my father (and aunt) a photo of the building he grew up in in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and got it framed.

I really like the look of these charis and was considering buying them for my kitchen. Sadly, though, when I went to the store and actually sat in one, the love affair ended. Pretty, yes, but the...

It's from Pottery Barn.

I also heard from a well placed source that the periodic Vogue design magazine is no more.

To me this question is as much about decorating as it is about relationships. I think you're getting great advise here on both fronts. I agree-- paint the walls, get an inexpensive rug to tie thi...
