I posted on here awhile ago about this blue paint (long story short- I'm obsessed with it). Domino had a piece about the garden that said that the gift shop sold the paint. Unfortunately, the pho...

The rope chairs are fabulous! I am looking for something to put in a reading nook, and was wondering if you think those would work. I originally was thinking armchair, but am also a bit too afrai...

The Arab Table by May Bsisu (sic) is my favorite of the Middle Eastern cookbooks. Her kibbe recipe is the best one I've ever found. I am also partial to the Complete Armenian Cookbook by Alice Be...
The bed room in the apartment we just bought is entirely robin's egg blue and has 14 foot high ceilings. It is very cool (so much so that we are repainting in warmer colors), but it does make the ...
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I totally agree that burning it (we do actually have a fireplace) is the best idea, but our remodeling budget is currently running dry, especially since the blue p...

Just to report back, Maryam said that she had a friend that recommended Sydney Harbour/Porter's Paints and that they have a color called "Frieda" that is closeish. She also recommended trying Pant...
Unfortunately, the Ralph Lauren "majorelle blue" paint is not (at least according to the RL website) actually majorelle blue. It seems as though the RL paint is very light and faded, which is pret...

Designerny, if you want Benjamin Moore there is a good place on 3rd ave and (I think) 14th or 16th Sts in Brooklyn.
There is a Lowe's in Brooklyn, pretty close to the Smith/9th St F stop.
