Nice stuff. But can the writers on this site stop using the Domino and Lucky favorite words "curated" (as in "well-curated") and "edited" (as in "tightly-edited) to describe the merch...

Who did the painting that's hanging in the stairwell? It's fantastic. Please tell us the name of the artist!

I think it might be a carpet beetle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermestidae

Very French, very Cote Ouest!

Just wave at her and say hello! I have an elderly neighbor who likes to sit out on her porch almost every day. For quite a while she would often turn her chair around and watch me gardening -- as t...

I think it's fabulous-looking -- though since plenty of Colonial-style houses are charcoal with white trim, hardly a revolutionary concept -- but would hold off on making any pronouncements about e...

As Linnealoves says, peanut butter. Also butter, Crisco, any type of cooking oil . . . basically anything oily is the quickest, and much less toxic than solvents.

Before Miele #1 I spent ages vacuuming cat hair out of my sofa and area rugs with a crappy little vacuum. With Miele #1, all clean in way less time and, due to being really deeply clean, stayed tha...

bepsf, sara -- yeah, or that quaint, old-fashioned device called the Yellow Pages. It's not as though San Francisco is exactly short of shopping opportunities, including one of the better-known fab...

50s. I base this mostly on the style of the furniture and the fabric used for the drapes.

It's absolutely gorgeous, but wouldn't it be a little . . . *bright*? I live in a (rented) place with white walls and a white floor and apart from being hard to keep looking clean, some mornings th...

This entry is why I read AT and why I look at the Small Cool entries. It celebrates creativity and individuality. I'm smitten.

Predictable. I'm sure a lot of thought went into this but unfortunately the thought was probably mostly predicated on the idea that Domino is the ultimate arbiter of "good taste." It's well-execute...

The "xxx" from Ikea? Must be new . . . .

The best thing for cleaning tile? Spray'n'Wash -- yes, the stuff you use on laundry. It contains a surfactant that lifts grunge from soap scum to hard water stains. You won't even have to scrub hard.
