4:20? Really? Tacky.

If I had life threatening food allergies, I'd probably opt out. Human error could make for a tragedy. If it was me I'd then enjoy inviting others to my place and everyone could relax and have fun.

As a host I would be very appreciative if someone let me know that they have dietary needs. I wouldn't be offended at all by someone bringing what they can eat in order to be able to participate if I was unable to meet their needs.

Since I don't often invite people I'm not comfortable with to my home, I would offer to have them come by early with their offering. We could then, together, make it a part of the meal and no one would be the wiser. Otherwise, if it's very special and only for that person, again, come early and I'll be able to serve you in such a way it is not a point of discussion to make you uncomfortable.

I once read a definition of etiquette I quite liked. It was simply, to be able to make people comfortable in any situation. Not always possible, but something to aspire to.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I renovated my NYC bathroom entirely with 12x12 tiles on the floor and walls up to the ceiling and love it. It actually makes the space look bigger.

I went with a classic grid pattern with the smallest grout lines possible.

Looking at your bathroom, would you consider a stone tile? The one benefit we have with small bathrooms is a smaller amount of tile! A granite or marble would make a special accent in your bathroom and will make the white stand out nicely.

Good Luck!

I have to say I love this.

At first glance I thought it was a gut reno. Then I realized that it was a very clever change that completely transformed the space into something new, bright and modern. To me that's the most interesting. Anyone can gut a space, not everyone can be creative and clever enough to make it look like they did.

Bravo!

P.S. This may sound a bit over the top, but I'd also take into account the color of your car(s). They will be a strong part of your curb appeal when you are home.

I know, I know, but these are the things that keep me up at night. ; )

Congrats on your wonderful chairs. I'm sure you'll enjoy them for years to come.

I think the idea of a more rustic table is right on. Since you're in NY, check out "Old Good Things", which is near Union Square. They have a great selection of reclaimed wood farm tables. Any size you need, either in stock or they will make one up for you. Same or better prices than CnB.

I got one to go with my DCW chairs.

I have mirrored backsplashes in my small NYC kitchen and love them. They open the space, add light and are easy to clean, spritz and wipe. It's not so easy to get tomato sauce out of the grout of a tiled backsplash. You also end up wiping the splatter into the grout unless you clean the tiles individually. Love 'em.

Pretty pictures. I would only consider actually sitting for an entire dinner in the chairs from 3.6 and 9.

IMO this begins in the womb.

Mom's tend to clean up more for their boys than their girls. In general girls are taught the basics of housekeeping and are praised for doing so. Not so much with boys. Most of the guys I went to college with didn't even have any idea how to do laundry. Everything is much more of a chore if you don't know how to do it efficiently. Just my opinion...
