i agree with dc mandy. my son has the carrera countertop in his kitchen and not only does everything stain it, it is very hard to keep it clean. make sure they have a large cutting board and coasters on top to rest everything on it. his was stained by red wine dripping on the counter.

i am loving reading the year in bed series!
unfortunately we purchased our new bed before this began. we bought a kingsdown emerald crown mattress which enabled us to select the firmness number that felt right to each for us. the sales person told me that lighter people should choose a lower number but the floor model was a 4 which felt right for me. my husband loves the bed but i find it too firm.
interestingly, we both wake up feeling hot throughout the night. after reading your post today i pulled out the label from my mattress and saw that it was 35% urethane foam. i wonder if that is the reason we feel hot.
a year ago, i bought a mattress for our condo in california that was the most comfortable bed we've ever had. it was a spring air four seasons mattress and everyone who sleeps on it raves about it. but spring air is no longer in business. if anyone is living in los angeles, i recommend purchasing a mattress from pj's sleep company. they have 47 rave reviews and i can't overstate how wonderful they were to deal with!

I just saw this rod on sale at TJ Maxx for $15.00!
I didn't know they were already in production.

Please tell us where the desk is from...I have to have one!!
