I think it's as important to consider a sofa's height as well as its bulk: the windowsills look kind of low, and it would be a shame if the couch's arms blocked the view, or if the height of the so...

Lovely kitchen, nice color schemes but the living room layout looks a little unfinished, impersonal or maybe just not conducive to conversation. It may be a lighting issue or lack of textural variety.

What is with all the people who eat chicken on the subway, and then leave their gnawed bones on the floor -- sometimes still in the styrofoam box, sometimes dropped on the floor? In NYC chicken ...

Yes, I too use this very interesting institution called the "public library." Its collection of books, dvds and cd's is very large, it has a searchable database, you can order just about any public...

IMHO, I wouldn't say "nowhere" in Istanbul is the tilework is more stunning than at Topkapi. If you're in Istanbul and want to see sensational tiles, don't miss Rustem Pasa mosque.

This tool only works if you use it. Yes, it removes a ton of fur but but my ornery cat absolutely hates it. I'm not sure I'm interested in pinning him in a head lock while I submit him to weekly F...

Oh yes, in my first post-college apt I too had a "flip and f**k" chair (that term is new to me, edleb) and the biggest problem was that you couldn't SIT on the damned thing without slithering to th...
