Terje chairs! I've had mine for three years and I expect to have them for many many more. Sturdy, classic, and still under $20.

I love casual dinner parties, but I do wish I could get my friends to dress up and had a perfect 1950's bar set up. I just think there's something very nice about dressing up to go to a friends house.

My parents dining room looks onto an air shaft alley. Directly across from them is someone's bathroom and bedroom. For years they had curtains, but then I guess a new person moved in and doesn't se...

Thanks joyosity!

Question for joyosity and acushla- I'm looking for a magnetic strip for knives that will stick safely to my fridge. Will any magnetic strip do that? What should I look for? Thanks!

Definitely get rid of the blinds before you do anything else- I think when you get a cute curtain in there you'll be much happier. If you decide to paint the cabinets, I think the gray people keep ...

I got a dish rack that fits into the sink. It takes up about half the sink so I lose some space, but it's worked really well for me (having half the sink space makes me do dishes more often!). It w...

I like Scrumpy's cider from Michigan. It's wonderful in front of a bonfire on a cold night... I lived in Paris for a while and in Breton creperies they serve a delicious, light, not too sweet cider...

I live in a studio, so seperating sleepspace and workspace is especially important. I have my desk facing the wall so I can't see the other areas in my apartment while working and get distracted by...

second dipaola turkey at the grand army plaza market. i don't eat meat anymore myself, but my parents have been buying that turkey for twenty five years and I remember it being goooood. At the mark...

I use ladles and whisks all the time. The problem is that I have two whisks, one metal one for creaming butter and sugar together when mixing dough (I don't have an electric mixer) and another sili...

Maybe I'm overdoing it here, but I like the idea of having to pay attention to the forecast and the outside weather changes. It seems like it would help me to think about my energy use in a differe...

I love it. Beautiful colors pulled together in a wonderful way. Although I'm noticing that the loft bedroom is not really teal...

I love the 'headboard'! Am I right that it's just painted on and the leafy stuff is some kind of sculpture? Also love the pink panther album and the deco vanity. good luck with your new house!

I love this yogurt! I had to stop getting it though, kinda pricey for me. It is, however, enough calories to be most of a meal, so it's a good once a week lunch treat.

I try to always have bread, peas, ginger and some kind of fruit in the freezer. Edamame is good to keep around too. I also freeze herbs (double wrapped in foil) and the wax wrappers from butter sti...

Can anyone tell me more about freezing wine? I end up with a lot of leftover wine these days, but it would never occur to me to freeze it...

I love subway tiles! I grew up in Brooklyn and my parents' bathroom had the original white subway tile shower with these thin green tiles as trim... it was gorgeous. When I was in second grade we s...

I make tomato sauce or soup at least once a week in the cold months and this is always what i do with the leftovers. I usually serve it over toasted stale bread. It's one of my favorite things. I'v...

This is great to see here.
