Very curious about the wood flooring over the tile. We live in a rental (galley kitchen) with horribly ugly cracked tile. I didn't know you could put flooring over tile! (I've resorted to swapping out indoor/outdoor runners to cover the tile as much as possible, but they start to look bad very quickly with 2 little kids running around spilling things.) Can't wait to hear more and see the results!

Martha Stewart recipes are notoriously untested. They cycle through so many every month between the show, the website, the magazines... no way to test them all.

I'm not sure I would consider the Alessi prices "not more than C&B and WS" It's a little pricey for me for everyday when you have kids around.

Some of this stuff is in the stores already. I bought that wall mounted white lamp in Feb or March. That bendy lamp has been around a while. And that sink is just a smaller version of an existing one, with same accessories (looked at ithe larger one last weekend, actually). I don't see a lot that's new. Or exciting.

We have white floors in our apartment - glossy/oil paint. The problem isn't with cleaning them it's with scratches that happen in the paint - the dirt gets pushed in and mopping doesn't do anything. So when you mop you get a white floor with lots of dirty scratches. Magic Eraser helps but it buffs out the "shine" of the oil paint. NExt time I'd go with pickling.

I love that Micki bed, but it's not available for shipping to the US. And the mattress is a standard European size, not American. It is exactly what I wanted though. Impossible to find something simple, clean, low profile like that here in the US.

I agree with aemorgan. The scavenger posts are pretty uninteresting and unhelpful.

From the exposed screws, I would bet the bed is from Ikea.

Everything looks more organized when you take stuff out. I'd like to see a before and after when it has the same items both times. Not weeded out. (Because in our kitchen, we've maxed out every space - so if jarred spaghetti sauce or sippy cups don't fit in a lovely modular dry-goods cabinet, there's no where else to put them...

White or black, definitely. And some open shelving to break up the space a little - I like the idea of to the left of the fridge, but maybe you can't lose those drawers?

And a black and white striped cotton runner on the floor.
