When I spend time in southern Spain, I basically only order Tinto de Verano. It's so refreshing and makes the hot summer not seem so bad!

Does anyone know of an American equivalent to the Fanta Limon that's generally used in Tinto de Verano? I've tried ginger ale, sprite, and Orange Fanta, but it's just not the same.

This is a really great idea, especially since without good photography a great space looks less than stellar.

Can't wait to read the new column!

It sounds like you like red, so one option I might suggest is pulling your colors from your ceramic flooring. Maybe think about a warm golden yellow for the walls with accents of red that pick up the colors from the tiles?

Our old place had almost exactly the same ceramic tiles for the downstairs den and we went in a kind of Tuscan/Italian feel. It made it very warm and cozy.

I lived in a 400 sq ft apartment with my boyfriend and cat and although it was tight living, it worked well enough. The 750 sq ft apartment we now live in feels luxurious though- especially with 10 ft ceilings and a small roof deck!

I had a hard time finding an apartment to my liking, because I love cooking and most apartments' kitchens are neglected and cramped. The kitchen is my #1 priority (with the bathroom coming in close 2nd).

It would be wonderful if there could be some articles on container garden design. Since I have no backyard, but I do have a roof deck, I'd love to be able to create a beautiful and useful container garden.

This is happily coincidental, as I just scored 4 chairs that look exactly like the first picture at a thrift store for $25 each! They are beautiful and make me smile every time.

@TKPKgirl I've heard the same thing, which is why I'm still putting my cat litter in plastic bags and just throwing them out. That seems horribly wasteful though.

What's the best choice for someone like me who starts sleeping on their side and wakes on on their back? I spend about the same amount of time in each position, and I haven't found a pillow that's comfortable yet.
