My Dog brings so much joy into my life, I can't imagine how I got through each day before she came into my life- there is easily one or two, true laugh out loud moments each day.

I met a whole bunch of human friends through her, and lost weight through exercise by walking her.

Pets are truly happiness!

My best is the Miso black cod from Nobu. It really isn't difficult, but you need to marinate for about 2 days.

I would want something with a little bit of back support, if I planned to do any long term work. Like the look though!

I have both- as someone else mentioned, on 9/11, my land line was the only way to keep in touch with family, so I like to have it in case of an emergency. Also, I seem to get spotty reception on my cell in my apt.

I am looking at replacing my blinds as well and planning to go with natural woven style shades made from bamboo/grass style natural weave. Smith and Noble has some nice ones and you can get free samples of all of their materials:

You can upgrade and get them lined to keep out more light.

I can't speak for the styles you are looking at, but I have the Home Movies line and they do not shed.

I highly recommend the Flor tiles- easy to install, looks great- I get so many compliments, and so easy to clean (I have a dog).

Are you happy with this bed? I am looking at this as well as the Tate Bed from Crate and Barrel, and the Elliot Bed from Pottery Barn.

Is it comfortable- does it squeak? How sturday is it?

Thanks!!

I would like some advice on hardwood floors- I have been in my apt for about 11 yrs. In my main room (LR/DR/Office) I have these ugle wood parquet tiles that I refinished when I moved in. After all this time, they are looking pretty scratched up. Since they are just tiles, I am not sure that I want to bother sanding and refinishing them again. In my bedroom, I have wall to wall carpet covering the parquet.

The whole apt. is about 730 square feet, so if I exclude the kitchec and bath, we are talking about maybe 600 square feet of floor.

I would love to replace the floors with wood planks, and get rid of the parquets, but don't even know where to start- do I need a contractor, or can I find one company to provide the wood and labor? Any idea how much this would cost??

Any ideas, references, pics would be great!!!

Thanks!!!
