We recently downsized from a large (for us - 700sf) to 560sf; one thing we could not let go was a very large Noguchi floor lamp. We had to plan the new living room around it. Well worth it. If i...
I'm in a somewhat different situation than most who post here, being a good deal older and not having had the joy of inheriting family furniture. We have always been grateful that Ikea let us furn...
This is such a timely post, as I have been mulling over the idea of hanging a great many photos/art/objects over our bed for months. Don't have everything framed yet ($$ reasons, mostly), but AT h...
We use my grandmother's sterling flatware every day. It's a very simple pattern and it looks great with everything else we have. We have few dinner parties, and I just hate the idea of using it o...
When we finally replaced our motley collection of this-and-that dishes, we went with Ittala's Teema in white combined with their Bottna pattern -- a black-line leaf design. We love the randomness ...
We used a FLOR Hopskotch area rug to liven up our long hallway. Everyone loves it, and even though our kid is long gone to his own space, it's good for rainy day entertainment as well.

Amazing how much stuff is going away!
While we sleep in a close approximation of a combination of "C" and "H", we can only do so because we do not share covers. He is a cocoon, I'm a feet-need-to-feel-free kinda person. Different weig...
It reminds me of those truly awful jackets and bags and anything else that could be imagined made out of patchwork leather in the late 70s.
Please make it go away?
Like so many others, I was brought up to get those sheets as taut as they could be -- hospital corners were the ONLY way.
And, like so many others, I now have a lovely duvet and my SO ...
We have a beautiful small Greene Greene side table that was given to us by a former landlord. It had gone through a fire and I quite successfully put off finishing my MA thesis for quite some ti...
Ever since I was a kid, clocks have fascinated me. I have at least one clock in every room of the house -- bathroom included. It's not that I need them, I just love them. My SO is just about ready ...
