i have also had TERRIBLE experiences with unica's customer service. even after spending a large chunk of money on an order, i found them rude and inflexible when dealing with a problem that was ca...

i think we'd have to put it with our little mini-sofa and create a reading nook for the kids!

I love Japanese obento for flights too, although I usually will just buy a prepacked one from the Japanese market. They often come with a variety of little dishes, and you can eat it with chopstic...

we also gave honey as wedding favors. we found a guy who keeps honey on his rooftop in brooklyn (in our old neighborhood) and bought bottles directly from him. he's supersweet, and his honey was ...

Not sure if it's too late to respond - the wall mounted cabinets are Ikea cabinets with Sorbo doors. the sofa is from Nume, and DWR stopped selling kids' stuff. you ca...

i've seen cork flooring samples at eco home, in berkeley. we also installed cork in our kitchen, on the advice of our architect. it's good for the kitchen, because it's slightly cushy, so it's co...

oooh, i miss grilling in the winter. the grill pan for hanger steaks!

i make chocolate and vanilla caramels every year and wrap them in white and brown parchment paper. i usually cut the parchment with a paper cutter, and it goes pretty quickly. the last couple of ...

yay, Elizabeth!

hi, i was the one who originally posted the homasote bulletin board how-to, and although that may be a little more than you want to take on at this time in your lives, homasote's a pretty good and ...

we love our french press, though it was frustrating because the coffee got cold too quickly, even when swathed in towels. so we replaced it with a thermal one (ours is from freiling, and we probab...

We just came home from a trip, and although we were allowed to check in our stroller at the gate, we were told that SFO does not allow passengers to pick up their strollers at the gate upon arrival...

I use one of these and I'll confess that I love it, even though I thought it was just an extra thing at first. But I put away all my utensils and have a pretty clear countertop, so I was draping m...

wow, that's so fantastic. i would love to be so talented with tools. even though your son will outgrow his crib one day, this is a piece that will be passed down to future generations and treasur...

we're in the process of talking to the good folks at modern cabana about installing one in our backyard as an artist studio. the materials that they choose are environmentally friendly and they've...

i too adore the prints. i love how you've created such a personal, homey space for your child that can change as he gets older.

we love love love muji kids' stuff, and have stocked up on our last two visits to tokyo (but it's just not enough!). our friend just returned from japan and sent us the best muji pajamas - they ar...

we love our stokke, and we also picked up a handysitt chair (both at a dwr warehouse sale, hooray!). the handysitt has been really great for visitors and it folds up and stores really easily. it'...

wow, this is fantastic! it's such a great design (with such attention to detail), and i love how it was a team effort by family. rowen's one lucky kid.

I think this room looks fantastic. I can't tell if the color's robin's egg or a little more aqua, but it feels very soothing, and good for either gender. The flowers are great for a child, yet so...
