Sure would be nice if this could be made with a refillable filter cup; I hate the waste of disposable coffee units.

The website is really easy to use and navigate. Great customer service.

A few smaller projects here: One, consolidate all my recipes into just two locations: a binder for the recipes that aren't online, and a well-organized bookmark folder for online recipes. Up to now, I've been keeping them in about five places: a binder, two file card boxes (lovely wooden antique ones, but still...), a bookmark folder on my browser and an e-mail folder (for links e-mailed by friends.) Impossible to find what I'm looking for, and the files are taking up valuable countertop real estate. I'm also going to sort and organize my fabric collection, which is now a jumbled mess in a hall closet. Hopefully, I'll get to bigger projects before the month is over, but I don't want to overshoot and feel crappy about not getting it done.

Please, oh, please, can someone tell me what color of blue paint is used in photo # 2?

Brush your cat twice a day -- you'd be amazed by how much fur ends up in the brush, even brushing multiple times in one day. Best part: if I brush my guy twice a day, he doesn't puke up hairballs and he doesn't leave a forest of fur on every surface.

I appreciate and respect what FULINLIN says. But if you already have some crummy old baskets and dribbles of leftover paint sitting around, I think it's fine to paint them any way you like and make use of what you have on hand. I'd probably go for something less African-style and more scandinavian -- a wide stripe in a cool color, for example.

Isn't it odd.... I looked at this tour and it was one of the few times really believed I was looking at the home as people actually lived in it and used it, not as it had been "styled" for a shoot. It's enjoyable to feel like you're getting a peek at someone's real home, not a fantasy created for a photo shoot -- this is the original reason I started reading AT years long ago. The owner is pretty, but seems friendly and approachable in the photos. Sorry everyone had to be so cranky.

Nice! Can you tell us what your paint color -- that deep blue in kitchen -- is? Thanks!

I love the clean, new look. And the typefaces don't bother me. But please consider making the main page EVERYTHING, rather than forcing me to click around endlessly looking for new stuff, which I'm already not doing. And please, please, consider a better way to caption posts with multiple photos. This business of always having to count which thumbnail photo I'm looking at, then scroll down to read the caption to figure out what I'm looking at makes me crazy. It's so cumbersome. At least number the photos, so you can quickly see which caption to read. Thanks.

O.K. I take it back -- after looking at the video, I realized you can actually sleep in it.
