I travel a lot for work and have tried various suitcase but like you said Great Lady - nothing compares to the Rimowa. Lightweight, easy to move around, (love the four wheeled type especially), beautifully designed. Pricey, but if you do a lot of train-then-plane-then-bus then back on to train again type travel, it's worth the money! Well Designed Travel: Top 5 Carry-On Suitcases |

Have an iPad that I use for work. I love it, but it's too heavy for an ebook. Seriously considering getting a smaller 7" Playbook or other device. Wouldn't mind upgrading to the iPad2 but at that price point...not to mention the fact that the only big change between the 1 and the 2 are the camera lenses...no thanks.

Here in Japan there's a big push on switching to LED bulbs, especially since we're in the midst of an energy crisis. I've been trying to get used to the weird orange glow that these things give off and it's pretty tough. I must admit the manufacturers are trying to get as close as they can to the warm glow that incandescents create...and they're getting closer. But not close enough!

I just moved to a lovely apartment with two large balconies, and am dying to buy some outdoor furniture and a grill to barbecue on! Unfortunately my building is surrounded by other houses, including one occupied by a very grumpy lady who can't stand anything to do with my building! No cars or bicycles can stop, no conversations can be held anywhere in the vicinity of her house, or she comes running out. I live on the top floor, but I'm guessing if she saw even a sliver of smoke creeping up from my balcony she'd call the police....sigh. Summer Style: Outdoor Lounge Spaces |

Love both MUJI & IDEE but the latter is a bit overpriced in my opinion. Fell in love with the purple PUUF chair a few weeks ago and almost bought it till I came to my senses. Over $300 for a floor cushion?? Global Inspiration: Japanese Rooms from Muji X Idee |

In the seventies/early eighties, the telephone chair and stereo cabinet(complete with eight track player!!!) were still popular. My parents had both and kept them for years! The telephone table definitely needs to make a comeback though. I think there's a photo album in my folks' basement somewhere of all the kids in my family posing for pics while pretending to talk on the phone.

I agree Snowdin! Or at the very least, move the Toronto posts to a city that's geographically closer - New York is good 100km closer to Toronto than Chicago is. Patti's Boardwalk Sanctuary on Lake Ontario House Call |

I love the bright blue digits on my alarm clock, but when I'm trying to sleep or relax, I put it in my closet! The closet is right next to my bed, so I can still hear it when it goes off. Not only does it make my room more peaceful, it makes it a lot tougher for me to hit the snooze button. It's a great idea for lazy people like me who can't get out of bed at the alarm's first ring.

My parents used to have a stereo cabinet and it was a little similar to this. It had a hinged top to cover the turntable and record storage area. It also had built in speakers and an 8-track player! What Was This Furniture Piece Used For? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Los Angeles |

I did the twin bed thing last year with my room. I live in a tiny one room apartment, so it really comes in handy when friends come over. As a sectional it seats so many people, and having a second bed for people who miss their last train home is great. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Brilliant Beds |

This is so funny. I just threw out my plastic avocado slicer two weeks ago because I realized how truly useless it was. I was only able to successfully use it once, and then it took forever to clean out the little pieces of avocado from the blades. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | The 10 Most Useless Kitchen Gadgets |

kendokendokendo! I have the same problem. I feel like I am playing dirt hockey all the time. It looks fabulous in the corner of my kitchen, but I hardly ever use it. Wish I did more research before I got it. If they are doing the recall in Japan as well, maybe I can get a new one. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Cordless Stick Vacuums Recalled by Electrolux |
