Seconding the 3-prong to 2-prong (grounded to ungrounded) adaptors.

Also, any tool you need to borrow twice, you should probably buy for yourself, which means I'm getting a stud finder this weekend to hang up some IKEA shelving in my kitchen!

I was always fascinated with the fridge that had a built-in ice dispenser. It was like something from the Jetsons!

(Also, that psychedelic lamp in Greg's attic bedroom looks like you could now get it at IKEA.)

For $20 (US), you can get semi-Midmod legs for the Karlstad: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10118914

I can't believe how similar your wall art decisions are to mine!

I also love the radio in the living room; what model is it?

Looks like the radio is a "Vers 1.5R Hand-crafted wood radio alarm clock," or something very similar from the same maker.

What radio is that in a couple of the pictures in #8?

Is there something wrong with the IKEA DOCKSTA dining table ($179)? It's a pretty obvious knockoff. (I do think I've heard the base attracts scuff marks from shoes.)


How Would You Top This Table?

That chair in the foreground reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask-- what's the proper name to describe that color that, say, a red poster or red plastic fades to after being in sunlight? The best I can come up with is "muted red" since "light red" implies "pink," and that's not right. I've seen it a bunch on "Mad Men," although I'm having a hard time finding a good example...

Has any other Small/Cool entry featured a mobile? That got my vote!

You aren't specifically *carrying* pictures of Chairman Mao, so two thumbs up!

That 8-piece set is a Cook's Illustrated Best Buy.

I've never seen anyone sitting in an Eames Chaise. Is it comfortable, or more of an objet d'art?

All other things being equal, I'd go for one of the top two since their legs are more MCM to me.

Forecast: Gray With A Chance Of Color

What would you call the color of the wall in that "Don" and "Kristin" picture? It looks baby blue in the brightest area and something I find really appealing in the rest of it, only I don't know its name!

I love the Eames storage unit! Also, where did the baby blue lamp come from?

What precise shade of gray is that? I've been thinking about something similar for my living room.
