Martine's Profile

I finally got the Bullet as a gift for Christmas. It's really convenient for my small kitchen. Don't use it religiously but when I do it's for coffee drinks, alcohol drinks, protein shakes/smoothies, and occasionaly to grind coffee.

Surprised how it crushes ice cubes. Nice little gadget!

If you are in a rental, check with your apartment manager (landlord) to see if they do seasonal maintenance for A/C units i.e. cleaning, replacing the filter, repairs, etc.

If they do, which should be no charge to you as a renter, then I would advise to have them take care of it.

Lovely apartment!!

Would like to see a site for AT: New Orleans, La.!!!

Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

CharlesandHudson,

Can you suggest a brand of the CFL light bulbs and where one would purchase them? Thanks.

Cool, I should be receiving my issue in the mail pretty soon.

Can't say I like the new May cover. I guess I would need to have a better look at it first. I don't understand why they always have to have a woman posing on the cover (yes I'm a female).

Never figured this out yet with Domino since I'm a first-year subscriber. Are they directed more towards a home decorating magazine for women or what?

I have an expandable over the sink dish drainer that I got from BB&B. Something similar from the Container Store. I really don't like using it, but it's better than those Rubbermaid plastic drainers with the mats for the counter.

Also, for the most part it holds most of my dishes in one wash. Drying glasses, cups and mugs can make it difficult to stack the other dishes. Overall, I think it's good for people that don't have to do alot of dish washing.

Love the tiles. I guess my complaint is lack of lighting. Just seems very dark and dreary inside your apartment. I like ample light in my place to brighten it up and even having sunshine beaming through my apartment. I guess that's just my preference.

Otherwise, Joan you have a nice apartment and wishing I could experience living in Paris :).

Thank you Wende for the suggestions.
