fairway in NY...... it's definitely better than whole foods. a larger selection and better prices. I go every week... we're very lucky and spoiled when it comes to cheese because of them.

looks like there's no plumbing? slight problem there... even if it's merely a concept home. really pretty concept from an artistic perspective....

Years ago, when I was in a small apartment with an awful kitchen, I turned a lack bookcase on its end, added 4 ikea desk legs and voila! a long narrow kitchen counter. Of course, the mealamine su...

it's all too much! too much! Wall patterns like that are too frenetic.

we have a slightly different version of that rug (but area rug-size) that we bought from crate and barrel? in bright red. We got it last year at something like 40% off. A wonderful deal :-)

We're also tall (5'9" and 6' 3"). When pregnant, I thought the mattress height would be a problem. Actually, now that our son is over 1 year and the mattress is at its lowest setting, I can repor...

I always loved the I dream of jeannie house too And I loved the brady bunch stair case! when I was little, I liked the girls apt in too close for comfort. (remember that 8...

well, by definition, if a person hoards, they are unable to keep their behavior in check. It's a mental illness... a rather stressful one that affects the entire family. I watched that show once....

#2 is pretty cute. but to me, a christmas tree shouldn't be something designer, it should show the lives, interests, history, and experiences of the family. you simply c...

I prefer e-cards. It's not nearly as wasteful as paper cards that have to be driven and flown all over the place. I will add the caveat that I NEVER send a card, e-card or otherwise, ...

nope. only a tree, a wreath, and some stockings. I'm not into all encompassing holiday decor. It's too much for my personal taste.

there is definitely still a market for DWR. It was a very poor decision to make DWR knock-offs, however. It's customers are generally reasonably knowledgable about designers and their products. ...

gorgeous home... I love the stairs and the kitchen. Both sadly made me realize I can't live as modern as I would want. The stairs are simply not feasible for families with children fo...

I'm with farmhousemoderne. I try to be eco friendly when possible.... but beyond even that, it's simply a downer to eat thanksgiving or christmas dinner with plastic utentils from a paper plate. ...

that's a super-pretty lamp..... the only problem is that it's made from plastic that is not designed to stick around for the long haul. So it likely will not age gracefully... possible yellowing a...

depends.... it's been in your mind for months? you won't go into debt if you purchase it? you won't instantaneously replace it in your mind with a new "must have item" to have as soon as you sig...

oh, so to complete my thought... I'd probably prefer the edwardian dinner.......

I grew up in a family that always had formal dinner parties... by age 12, I knew the different types of fish knives vs the butter knife and could tell apart the salad and entree forks. ...

I'm not that original or classy to get hard-to-find letterpress from obscure printers.... I prefer the pop-up cards from MoMA :-)
