I also love Method's products, but I was disappointed to see sodium laureth sulfate listed as the number 2 ingredient in this soap. Isn't this one of the toxins we're all supposed to avoid?

I had a good experience with a service in Manhattan called Lend a Hand. Their website is www.lahny.com, and their phone number is 212-614-9118. This service has been around for many years, and qu...

Viva Terra? http://www.vivaterra.com

If you are allowed to attach brackets to the wall, you could try Elfa shelving. Done correctly, it actually looks quite nice in a high-tech sort of way, and it's sturdy. Also highly customizable....

Does anyone know of a good, cheap messenger service that could pick up / deliver an 8x10 carpet from ABC Carpet on 19th & Broadway? I want to test one of their rugs in my home, which is on East 15...

I don't have any experience with these, but LL Bean has a collection called "Ultralight" that might do the trick for the occasional sleepover. Here's a link to the sleeper chair:

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. Step away from the scissors................. You can't find anyone who can do this, because they all know better. You're...

I have several of these - two in the fridge, others in a bookcase. They're great, and they take up much less space than standard wine bottle holders. One caveat- they don't accommodat...

I'm so glad I saw this post! Not because I plan to buy this binder; where would I put it? Nope, I'm going to grab me some binder clips before I leave the office. Thanks for the ideas, guys!

I used a foam topper for awhile. Yes, it made the bed more comfortable in the winter, but once the warm weather came around, it became impractical. Foam retains heat, and that was the last thing ...

Same here. The linens are nice, but where can I get those slipper chairs??

Gorgeous, but expensive ($985), and apparently backordered until the next millennium. They're not even taking pre-orders.

Thanks, everyone! Mom is working on this (I'm acting as her assistant, answering questions like, "Who is Mitchell Gold? Does he have a phone number?"). I'll let you know what the final result is.

I have this liner, and I love it! It's durable - I've sent it out with my regular laundry, and it comes back in fine condition. Much nicer than those nasty, outgassing vinyl mold habitats. It al...

Is Veterans Caning still around? They recaned a set of chairs for me a few years ago, and did a good job. Not cheap (at all!), but they do good work. Last address I could find for them:

I like Yuzu's idea the best, but it might be prudent to give potential guests some guidelines ("mysteries good; Harlequin romances bad; no paperbacks; I already have all the Harry Potters"). NY Ma...

Any possibility of getting a do-over on this thread? It was sort of hijacked by the whole rent control/stabilization rant. I was fascinated by yesterday's article, and I would love to know what ot...

I second the suggestion from Moxie the Maven for new pillows. If you check the 'Sale' page at www.pillowsandthrows.com, you'll see some fabulous pillows at a considerable markdown. I ordered a pi...
