really like this! it seems so bright and warm. did you buy or make the ceiling bike rack?

we found a little inchworm/caterpillar thing in an ear of corn a few weeks ago (this was after we'd cooked it in its husk). while i did feel good that at least it was clearly fresh and organic...i...

am in love with the wedgewood basalt teapot after a recent trip to england: http://www.wedgwoodusa.com/shop/collection.asp?id=...

the color looks fine to me, but you're the ones who have to live w/ it. if you want to try to tone it down by painting the cabinets, i like the idea of a dark gray or white on the cabinets. with ...

wow man. lots of negativity here! this place isn't my style, but i think they've done a nice job with the renovations! i think the kitchen and bathroom in particular seem fitting for the age of ...

i love the colors here - those blue walls are gorgeous, especially with all the different warm wood tones. and the dork in me loves the michael pollan-ish color tip :)

kale chips are delicious! rarely eat it any other way these days (but i also like it cooked slowly a la http://p...

yes! i stayed in a place in ireland that had one of these stupid things. i could not figure out how to take a shower w/o getting water everywhere! not a fan.

count me in the do not paint camp! i don't even normally like traditional-style cabinets, but these look great quality and can easily be worked into a more modern aesthetic with other smaller chan...

love these illustrations and text (and love monticello and tj). a friend sent it to me a few months ago and i've had it saved since then. if it were a book, it would be the perfect give for a few...

update - made this last night (w/ a few modifications for what we already had in the fridge) and it was delicious. really liked the addition of the capers. will definitely go into our rotation of...

we're trying (a variation of) this tonight! like juice said - it's got ingredients that i've usually have on hand and looks pretty fast. thanks, dara! :)

re: hanging art on hangers - just be careful that you hang it in such a way that you won't ever catch the hook on the hanger and accidentally tear your artwork in half. maybe it was a freak accide...

LOVE these. wish i knew somebody who loved P&P as much as i do, b/c these would be the perfect gift :)

things may have changed since i was in college (not *that* long ago, i swear), but you could definitely get "to go" containers from our dining halls. i never thought about taking anything to make ...

mushrooms and mustard and anything pickle-y

er, i could be wrong and confusing college park w/ woodbridge, but i don't think this feature is new at college park. (still a neat feature, though, and always fun to walk around the rooms)

things i find gross - cold blue cheese/gorgonzola (only tolerable if they're melty and in a sauce), a greater tolerance for spicy foods (trying to train myself so i can enjoy more types of cuisine)...

my first reaction to seeing this line in the catalog is that it looks a *lot* like the ekeskog couch from a few years back. my friend has an ekeskog, and it is super-comfy and looks great.
