re the "dark" comments - one thing I love is that in addition to creative solutions to the lighting issues, this apartment also embraces its dark and cozy personality. It would be completely soull...
Spices. I think it would be fun to alphabetize them, from Anise to... ummm... Turmeric? Which of course would just inspire me to go out and pick up some Wormwood, and hmmm, are there any spices t...
BTW, re buying this and reupholstering it in linen -- I think West Elm has a virtually identical version in plain linen. Though I'm not sure of the price, but it's got to be cheaper than Anthropol...
Love it, if I found it at the flea market for $500. Would make it the focal point of the room -- in fact, it would be great for one of those tiny alcove bedrooms discussed yesterday.
no, it's definitely a color issue. the bedspread is very primary and undiluted red, blue, yellow, and green, basically the colors of a box of 4 crayons. The pillows have two shades of orange, and...
My bedroom is trending more and more this way. I love the photo on the bottom, especially the way they incorporated a desk into the room via a tall spindly drafting table type thing. Don't really...
I'm suddenly having serious trouble with this sort of thing. It all started when my lovely bottle-green couch pillows finally died. The green in those pillows pulled from one of the minor colors ...
Yeah, knowing a little about the GSA, I'd say there's pretty much no way this is an officially sanctioned thing. Or if it is, it's probably a local troop thing, like one of the den mothers is a sc...
For those saying it's impossible to get a 1, or they don't know how they scored as high as they did: I once fooled around with one of these programs and discovered that if you bike or walk everywh...
I have a bin about the size and shape of one of those big popcorn tins people sometimes get in offices at the holidays. Everything goes in there. When it's full, I separate into different bags (r...
Sorry Smile, the outburst wasn't so much directed at you, but at what I thought was a weird assumption of jonathanb's. Something got lost in translation, and it seemed like you were asking about c...
Very confused -- if she just had a bunch of work done in her new place, especially if it involved breaking down and/or building in walls (especially if it's plaster), probably created a lot of cons...
This looks really cool!
One question, though -- why do so many vegetarian recipes online involve fake meats like seitan and tempeh? I'm a vegetarian; I mainly eat vegetables. Sure, a...
Depending on the shape and size, what about wrapping them with jute rope? You should be able to glue it to the plastic with wood glue, or gorilla glue if you're willing to get a little noxious abo...
It's also important to remember that standards are different in different communities (and those are different from DIY backyard composting, which differs depending on the method).
For...
Magnets are a super-easy craft that makes a great gift. This is a super cool idea for unique ones.
I lived in a house with beer cap magnets, once. Obviously a little more bachelor pa...
I think the main thing is to actually have receptacles for public recycling. Here in New York, if you're not at home (or possibly the office), you can't recycle. If you grab a drink on the go, or...
I'm not sure how stable resin is for outdoor use, but something like this would be ideal for large public spaces, like train/bus stations, malls, museums, etc.

Why buy a brownstone, gut it, and turn it into a loft when you could just buy a loft? Confused...

How does TJ's get your address? If you can get off the mailing lists of the catalog companies, I'm sure you can get off theirs.
