Trumystique The place "on Orchird" was Economy Foam & Futon. They moved, but I bought a big desnse cushion from them 6 or more years ago for about $75. I am sure they raised their prices.

About time some did it! They look great. I can't wait to see the exhibition.

lol on the last comment. I am thinking, for now, a nice thick piece of fabric may work. For the future, you may want to consider building a table/cabinet with a removable top.

I use 2 big and 2 small aluminum tins from Ikea. They were more flexible for my apartment.

Honestly there is no such thing as a personal tech gift, although some can be coveted and even draw emotions, ie ipod/iphone, anything bang olufsen, a pleo. You can customize tech like the mix t...

I am not sure I would feel comfortable putting that dingy in the dirt between the street and sidewalk on the LES. Great for a house though.

I face the same dilemma and have yet to solve it. I have a bose sound dock in my living room though and use a sony for the alarm clock. I have seen these ihome ones in all of the boutique hotel ...

About every 2-3 weeks I need to charge for about 24 hours. I just replaced mine 6 month ago after the on button no longer worked on my 4-year-old sonicare.

I revisit magazine's like I do newspapers, for research, and preferably online. I can't stand the microfiche.

Great work!

This is a great design and renovation. I lived in a chambre de bonne when I was in Lyon. It was a lovely place on the 6th floor of a building w/ an elevator. The toilet was in the h...

Love the design. My apartment is striving for that! I love the cleanliness of the white. Good tips about the TV. I want a white one to replace my 10 year old CRT, but I have not f...

Good call!

I bought one of those wool rocks at the Toronto Textile Museum over the summer to match my apartment's white decor. It is great.

The heart-felt comments are hilarious. Keep it up. I don't have too much experience with faux brick, but like most things, real is always better than imitation. Imitation is flatte...
