No need for a toilet in here. Nothing would EVER come out.

Excellent idea. I wouldn't even think to create a blog post about this but it is so needed. Thanks.

Honestly I love my 3 tier bamboo steamer that I bought at a goodwill for $4. I put it over a saute pan with a 2 inches of water, stock or wine and it steams my veggies perfectly.

I really appreciate this post and some of the posters obviously understand that cooking eggs is not the easiest thing to do. As a student at the French Culinary Institute, one of our exams was to make a perfect omelet (no color on the eggs, slightly jiggly and plated in a perfect crescent). I went through a dozen eggs before I even got it close. Thanks for all the info.

I agree with Alliebear. If you have room to place the couch parallel to the fireplace with a sofa table behind it, I'd suggest that. Also, paint the walls a warm color to bring out the warmth of the brick because the white walls are too stark a contrast. If the recesses on either side of the fireplace can hold built-in bookshelves, that might add interest and texture. Then mount the TV above the fireplace

As someone who strives after that ever-elusive standard of perfection, (in spite of the fact that in cooking, perfection doesn't really exist), I can truly appreciate this article. Confidence in the kitchen doesn't come from knowing everything - it comes from doing your best with what you know. I'll try to remember those words the next time I throw a fit over another less-than-perfect meal.

This is my first time posting on this site and this room is the motivation I needed. What a beautiful room to come home to! I love the colors and the not-quite-matching patterns. Very well done. I'm inspired.
