I have a Heywood Wakefield ant leg table. The original finish on it was shot, and it's an extremely difficult (and expensive) finish to reproduce. I did the same thing...painted it white, and I l...

Yeah...I get public transit...I know how to work it into my life....I just don't know if I can do it in LA. I'll likely be working in Santa Monica, on the dreaded transitless westside! It would b...

This is interesting to me...I live in San Francisco without a car, and I moved here from New York. All in all, I haven't owned a car in over 10 years! But now, I'm considering a mov...

I wonder why they're called "art deco" as there's nothing deco about them. Regency maybe, but not deco.

This looks like a great shop -- one that I'd love to have in San Francisco. One thing though, it would be nice -- now that you guys are covering much more than just the San Francisco a...

In SF, I think the weather is a big factor. I'm in the Castro near Dolores Park...perfect location. Walkable to Safeway, BiRite, and the supermarket-formerly-known-as-Cala. And easy ...

Also, if you're standing on your toes, it doesn't count as a pull up!

I wonder if it smells like soup.

Holy crap! I do all of my filing at work in 3 ring binders and eschew filing cabinets entirely. Meanwhile, I've been trying to figure out how to find a decent looking filing cabinet f...

The Noguchi museum sells most of the Akari line...many of which I've never seen elsewhere. Plus, you're supporting the museum foundation by purchasing directly from them

I'd have to have more than one of those.

Well maybe I DO need to make a trip to Target to check those tables in person! I'm in SF though, so the Brickyard Target will be quite a hike! Hopefully they'll have them here too!

Does anyone have those X tables? Website says online only, so I'm not gonna trek out to target to take a look....what's the finish like? Are they white, or ivory? Sturdy? Thanks!!

Does anyone have these? I was in the store last weekend and liked the colors, but they seemed thin and insubstantial to me.

Does anyone have any ideas about custom sized (or just longer than ordinary) bathmats? I'd love one of the wooden mats from crate and barrel or west elm, but I have a long narrow bathroom. Normal...

Great job... off topic, what's the great silvery grey wall color you used in the bedroom?

Yes, please!

I have a rental question and didn't know where else to look. I'm on the third floor in an old Edwardian building. The windows are filthy. Does anyone know if a landlord is required to clean wind...

City Bakery in New York roasts cubes of sweet potatoes with chunks of pineapple and some cilantro. Just right. Me, I'm making a galette of sweet potatoes and yams with ginger and lemo...

I don't use any olive oil in my hummus -- I figure the tahini has enough oil in it as it is! If it starts getting to thick, I use the liquid drained from the canned chickpeas to thin it out. Also...
