If you're in Chicago the first stop should be the Commission on Human Relations which has the "bible" of landlord tenant relations. If you still need assistance then turn to Metropolitan Tenants Organization. In Chi, its now heating season - no evictions from October 15 -April 15. Try to tough it out, document everything, give 30 days notice when you leave and chalk it up to a learning experience / drink conversation. How To Deal With Threatened Eviction?

Shine - I just happened to be blowing past my (own) posts - and saw your comment. I "borrowed" the picture from the this old house website but it did not provide any information on the paint colors in the kitchen - sorry I couldn't give you more info. Happy Decorating!

I was going to comment, and filled a page with my anger over the NYT's treatment of bloggers. Instead, I'm going to leave it with 2 words: that will go unwritten since this is a family show (aww, but you thougt I would didn't you!) Does anyone here REALLY believe that somehow AT's use of NYT images or URL's will save one job, increase NYT ad revenue by $1, or somehow improve their DIRE financial situation? For the record, AT does come up with a great deal of original content, often inspiring print and commercial media (et tu Jamiealyse? tsk tsk) and inspiring trends, for example The Cure series. This is just one more action in a laundry list of actions NYT has taken against blogs in the last 18 months, it has very little to do with money but everything to do with Print Vs. Blog.

Its a great use of the space she has. And, this is 2009, right - so that fax machines are no longer necessary and there are such things as wireless printers (which I have and stored in my closet) exist.

I saw this house tour on Small Space Big Style - it's a wonderful use of space and felt much bigger (okay, through TV) than the actual square footage. Apartment Therapy New York \| FSBO: Greenwich Village Studio 55 East 9th Street Flag this comment	12/19/08 8:37 PM

Thanks heatherleaf & signe - I found this site on the city of chicago website under sreets and sanitation and gives complete details about the recycling programs and sites/facilites that will take all of our waste (hurray!!). I would post the complete site, but its a bit long so go to cityofchicago.org, for more info. But here's the address to the household checmical recycling plant: Location: 1150 N.

How do we get rid of the stuff we don't want anymore? I imagine that I shoudn't just dumpt it down the drain and I can't just recycle the container - do you know of a waste facility for the bad cleaning supplies?

This house was actually on HGTV, Small Space Big Style, but at that time only Jack was living there with his son - you're right Laura E!

Years ago I turned the spare bedroom into my home office, which has since become my daugther's playroom / catchall room. Now that she's passed the point of needing less toy room but more homeowrk /study space we're struggling with how to purge toys and incorporate more shared living/home office/study/reading nook space - is all of that even possible?!

Yes! it's like you've been reading my mind - please can we have a design meetup - pretty please? After giving it a lot of thought, i think i'd like ( in no particular order) 1. color palettes, theory, application, how to choose, etc. 2. furniture placement, arrangement 3. high end, low end options for furniture & design 4. design theory (e.g. hey what really is mid century modern?) 5. Organization tips from the expert, yup -maxwell g. 6. local affordable artwork 7. Trends - design, color, furniture 8. Professionals - where to find, how to hire affordable designers, contractors, architects 9. Neighborhood highlights - good design can , and does, live South - but where? spotlight on retail, house tours, designers in different neighborhoods. Thanks!
