I agree re: the thermostat, but for a door buzzer this is a brilliant cover-up. My incredibly ugly old intercom is mounted in our kitchen, of all places (which happens to be about as far from the ...

My best friend's Brooklyn studio apartment was featured in this book - they did a great job of showing all of her little design quirks and innovations. Such good design porn!

When can I move in? Seriously, I am in the midst of getting our new place set up, and a finished result such as this seems decades away. I love this house!

I just bought some black and white tiles to cover our horrid linoleum kitchen floor - your pictures are making me very excited for the installation! Beautiful, soothing, elegant and comfortable ki...

I think this is a great incorporation of graffiti into a very real, livable space. I also like that the whole room isn't graffiti or "street" themed, it's just one design element among many.

I'll take one of those bathtubs, thanks!

These could be great reconfigured as a mobile! It would be easy to make inexpensively with some clear fishing wire and some repurposed wire hangers. Then the Rs would still be out and visible, bu...

Another nice way to serve squash or pumpkin is to simmer it with dark sugar, papayas, and spices (allspice, cinnamon, cayenne, whatever you like). The squash takes on the dark color of the sugar a...

I bake a lot of pies so I keep all my fats and flours in the freezer to keep everything nice and cold when making my crusts.

One of the best manifestations of watermelon I've ever had is the Watermelon Pickle and Crispy Pork Salad at Fatty Crab . I must state that my brother is the Chef ...

I think an oyster white milk paint could be really great on these, as you'd still see some of the grain coming through but would achieve a more neutral, modern finish.
