Damn! You've got some SERIOUS style!

Can anyone tell me more about the lime green chairs in the last photo?

Well, I've had terrible experience from United airlines: they cancelled my flight, then cancelled my rescheduled flight, then when I called customer service the unintelligible overseas agent hung up on me.
And terrible service from Home Depot: my boyfriend - "where are the elecrical cables?" Home Depot employee - "I dont know man, I just work here."

But I would love to take this opportunity to sing the praises of Mythic Paint. They are a new NO VOC paint company who opened a shop in my hometown in CT. We just made over the kitchen in my apartment, but because it is now an open layout, it required a new paint job in the kitchen/dining room/ living room / hallway. So, we made the long drive up to CT from NYC just to get this paint. I brought in a color sample from Behr hoping to find something similar. I found out that not only do they color-match, but they already have a formula database for most other major paint brands' colors. They found the formula for my sample and mixed up four gallons. When I brought it home, it was a little too dark for what I wanted. So, I brought the paint the paint back and explained the situation. The guy from the store called the Mythic headquarters and they created a new formula for him to mix on the spot. He mixed four NEW gallons for me for no additional cost. Well, I brought it home and IT'S PERFECT!!! So beautiful, covers well, fantastic customer service AND NO SMELL! Best Paint Company Ever.

i am painting my living room right now and I just spent the whole day taping off the ceiling and the trim. my question is, if I paint the first coat, but then wait overnight to paint the second coat, will I have problems when I remove the tape?

bronxmaria,

wow, thank you for a comprehensive and realistic response to this post. can you recommend anyone who does this in ny/brooklyn?

Love the blue cabinets!

How is it not having a hood over your stove? I'm thinking of doing it in my kitchen which has closed cabinets, but I'm worried about grease particles getting all over everything. I can't imagine what it's like with open shelving!
What is your experience?
Anyone else not have a hood over their stove? Does it require excessive cleaning of the entire kitchen?

I always return the hangers and plastic bags to my dry-cleaner, and they're happy to have them. I also return my plastic take-out containers to the Chinese food restaurant.

how many lumens is it?
