In my building in Jersey City we have Palmettos- giant, flying 3-inch "Palmettos" (American cockroach - Periplaneta americana). They come into my apartment through a gigantic hole behind the water ...

So amazing! Lots of details, everything quirky but consistent. Please, please show us more!

I think this is a fascinating discussion: what amount of square footage per person is considered "normal" or "legal" in the U.S. My father grew up in the U.S. In New York City. He and his brother ...

great place-amazing light. You made neutral not boring- huzzah!

this one is going on my inspiration board

Great timing with Spring Break just starting. I'm looking to be inspired by everyone else. I'm getting married in May to my sweetie, so I want our 500 sq foot apartment to be an even better refuge ...

mschatelaine: Probably you have already done this but 1.) dump cache for your browser and restart safari 2.) try firefox (free download) 3.) back up your bookmarks file and ...

I have that same terlet. I just make sure the pipes are always shiny. It looks industrial, but clean and nice. Also, mine had sheetrock behind with crumbly bits around the pipes, and scratche...

You have a great space to start with! I'm in the same boat- my fiance just moved in to our (formerly my) 500 sq ft apt last week. We've been sorting and stashing, purging and cleaning. It was reall...

LOOKING FOR OCEAN ORB: I'm looking for something I thought I saw here recently: a sealed glass orb with living plants and plankton in it- a mini aquatic ecosystem. Can anyone remind me what it's...

OMG! So much purple! Still digesting the violets. Not sure if I like it in home decor or anything other than food & flowers... I think I have to watch the video 10 more times to see if the grap...

If you love the books, keep them, keep on loving and reading them, but if books make you nervous, then just stop. There is no book peer pressure that I'm aware of, and I cringe every time I hear a ...

I got an orchid as a gift from a friend who owns a flower shop. She gave it to me in November and it's been blooming non-stop since. It's grown a new leaf and two new twigs. I keep it somewhat dry ...

I just found the best flower shop! I want to show pics of the arrangement I brought to a potluck brunch (I don't cook so much). It got better marks than any food I could have brought and made my ho...

this is elegant looking but it seems like a VERY expensive version of arduino [ www.arduino.com ] hardware or Max/Jitter/MSP software [ www.cycling74.com ] Hey, while you're on the cycling 74 site...

Holy Cow! I would love to have the chance to try one of these out! My boyfriend and I go through at least two liters of seltzer a day. It's my favorite beverage, (next to champagen, of course- whic...

I'm happy for him. NYC will cease to be a true cultural center if it becomes only available to the very wealthy. There should be more programs like this.

firefox 2.0.0.11 on a mac- same problem. Hope to see the flickr link updated soon b/c by the looks of this one image, I will like the rest.

I hope these are as fantastic as they look! This is my color scheme!
