I love this! I live in Astoria as well and while I always enjoy seeing gorgeous apartments, it's encouraging to be reminded that beautiful, well put-together homes are not limited to certain neighb...
This wasn't a bad experience, just a funny one. I got a bonus one-day job which required me to: rent a truck, buy a bunch of Ikea furniture for dressing rooms, and deliver it all assembled to a ve...
I don't really understand why people assume that gift closets are crammed with bought-on-sale Hallmark crap? I keep an under-the-bed box in part because I loathe shopping "for" a birthday gift, in...
"BTW, if you already have infestation, borax and other such "safe" treatments really don't work very well at all."
I agree with that. I had an infestation (in NYC) and we tried EVERYT...

Hey, you're not too far from me! I'm technically in Astoria but I'm on the outskirts, near Woodside. I'd ignore the comment about the area; I love it here, personally.
And I love you...
I love my AirCurve! I use it when I'm taking a bath, because nothing kills a relaxing mood like that BZZZZZTZZZTZT noise phones sometimes make when they're plugged into speakers.

I just came here to recommend a miso strainer, if anyone frequently makes miso soup -- miayo beat me to it but I'll throw my $.02 in anyway. It's a regular dinner item in my apartment, and I was S...
Nesagwa, as far as questions about other sink activities (brushing teeth, shaving, washing face) I think that this is intended to take the place of a toilet alone in its own room. The description ...
chusmabilly, I take a multi-step approach to cat litter. I have a covered litter box, one of those ones that empties itself, to try to trap odors inside. I use a baking-soda product made to deodo...
I don't think the point of the article was that everything in NYC will be super-awesome while the rest of the country is standing on soup lines. I think the point was that big and largely permanen...
Does anyone know where to see or buy the Graham & Brown Paste the Wall wallpapers, in person? I want to compare some patterns/colors to a paint swatch but I can't seem to find a list of stores tha...
Patrick, this is so lovely -- whimsical and mature at the same time. I'm not at all qualified to say much besides that, but I figured this was as good a place as any (well, probably better) to let...
Same, Myshkin! My door opens right into the space where the living room meets the kitchen. The first thing you see is a wall, approximately one or two feet away from the door when it's open all t...
I'm pretty sure it's one of those things they wear after surgery, so they don't rip their stitches out. But that looks like a nice one -- the ones I remember my pets having were this horrible hard...
They're not less efficient for everyone, Violetsrose. It's easier for me to eat some foods with chopsticks -- and I didn't even grow up in a home where we used them for meals. Once you're comfort...
I eat about as well with chopsticks as I do with a fork and knife. About two years ago I started working with native Koreans who were temporarily in the US, and they eventually gave me my own set ...
Daniel Poitiers, I'm pretty sure 'defenestrate' is just the general term for throwing anything out a window.
The Defenestration of Prague is just about the only thing I remember from...

I put a shot glass on mine, with q-tips in it. No use yet for the toothbrush holes.

Here's a way to make gomashio at home, from one of my favorite food blogs (besides The Kitchn, of course!):
