Medusa 12120 -- I lived in DUMBO, and I don't think Walentas owned the building in 1993. From what I remember the clocktower was some kind of office building for a while. Then it start...

Poor IKEA. They take the brunt. But recently, a West Elm bed that came with 3 legs drilled right and the 4th leg drilled on the wrong side (the outside instead of the inside). I called to request a...

I agree with everyone who loves this tour -- I just -- LOVE this tour. It's calming just to look at the gallery. Anyone have experience using that kind of gray on wood paneling? sounds nuts, maybe,...

The olive green colander is indeed lovely. Actually I really love all the colors here -- the baby blue and red; the olive and blue. Thanks for posting this!

Love them. Amazing, like a movie set: remnants of an old gilded age, salvaged.

wow -- my dad would love this. he used to run the "checkrated" program at popular photography magazine and busted all of these guys on the list for the same thing in print.

it would actually be so much more interesting if the NYT found people who actually live up here and not only weekenders. forget calling it the catskills. just not the city. or, if they need to fine...

don't mean to sound snarky. too much caffeine. but here are some cottages actually in the catskills: http://www.clovecottages.com/c...

Anna at D16 is so right -- where they live, well it ain't the catskills by any stretch. and, if I'm not mistaken, this is kind of a mess of a renovation. not because of its looks: it's gorgeous, th...

these days, there's nothing like having money in the bank, however little it is -- that is the most opulent furnishing I can think of. Like shag carpeting for the brain.

hey, not to be annoying, but are budgets so tight that you have to put an apostrophe on the word? I love the ideas-- some really cool ones! but misplaced apostrophes, not so much.

Love the teal as well -- and what color white is the trim? Am thinking about it for a room in my cottage -- which now has murk yellow walls and mud brown wood trim. Oh -- and kudos on the red and b...

Want to second the plug for a good quality brush: learning how to run an edge is one of the great joys of learning how to paint. Thought it was funny that "we" did not agonize over colors as "we" w...

so does anyone know where the bedspread comes from? drool.

just to weigh in here -- considering that we found out last year that some "faux fur' lining the hoods of our hoodies, and coating our groovy throw pillows, actually came from dogs in china -- is i...

ModHomeEcTeacher's DIY tutorial on tufting rocks, and Seasonably's comment is great. A low back! You're right, looking at the photo again. I'm convinced. So no useless, flimsy eye candy garnet poly...

I knew I'd written about this before. Months ago. So enough thought already, right? Shouldn't I just take the plunge and buy the garnet chaise lounge already for my mythical new house?

The same furniture (it's by skyline) is available at target for less money (and target often has free shipping, and a 15% discount when you spend over $125). I'm not trying to prop target, but the ...

Tonight I made it for dinner. It was DELISH. A few minor tweaks: I used organic bacon and not 2 strips, but 6. I used yellow and orange bell peppers for sweetness. I threw in some chopped shallots....

Love the range of muted colors n the walls, and the way the white trim looks so crisp against it. You've completely solved my problem of how to redo a house I'm hoping to buy. For a hundred reasons...
