Good post on, umm, filling out a form at the Post Office. Another helpful strategy given that forwarding can add up to 3 weeks to the delivery of a letter is to collect your mail for a month and sit down on the web and update the addresses that are necessary (if not the web , the Post Office provides free address change postcards).

LA certainly needs a pubic transportation upgrade but the real reason you don't need a car to get around in New York or London is the density of these environments. Many day to day tasks can be handled by walking (groceries, sundries, etc.) which obviate the need for transportation. Taking a bus to the middle of a parking lot populated by a single super market is not a recipe for a public transportation dominated LA.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the configuration, but the computer rendering with the curved walls and the redlined divider looks better than the actual room.

I just want to second (or third, or whatever) the idea of replacing the doors with something that would allow the whole space to open to the room. If not the French doors suggested then perhaps the modern bi-fold doors that accomplish the same thing.

Jumpyfroggy is right. And to top it off most of these will not work on older corks and some synthetics.

Count me in the "too much visual clutter" camp. I think the room would be better served by replacing the upper cabinet doors. Too, the larger handles on the lower cabinets end up looking very tightly grouped due to the size of the kitchen, again, creating visual clutter. Overall the concept is great and shows tremendous creativity and effort.

I a a big fan of Gus owing to their clean design and realistic pricing. Minor point, The Thompson chair is more in the style of Thonet than Eames.

First of all, very beautifully rendered between the floor and the tile work, clearly a skilled hand. I am wondering, though, if you considered a counter-height fridge to keep the room open and airy. As beautiful as it is I get the feeling that the appliances - particularly the fridge - were left there by someone else.

My favorite tech tip is to always remember to shut the machine off every once in a while and work in a tactile way. Great refresher between long sessions at work.

Always a had shell, better for travel.

Most diy plumbing repairs involve events that look like they would be impossible to duplicate with this sink (whatever falls into the drain, hair clogs). But it also looks like you can't really stopper this sink either making it more useful for guest rooms or half-baths than a main or primary sink.

Will make a great prop in a movie to signal either quirkiness or out-of-touch aloofness.

I am not being a smart-ass, just a sheltered city dweller, but is there a reason besides aesthetics to rake, blow or whatever your leaves away? Fire hazard, kills lawns, I am just curious.
