I don't mind removing my shoes as long as I know in advance that it is a shoeless home. But what I don't understand is the statement that the U.S. is the only place in the world where people don't remove shoes indoors. I've lived in the U.K. and in France, and in neither place was it the norm. Etiquette at Home: Solutions to The Great Shoe Debate |

Before the internet offered dozens of websites, in Manhattan there was the NY Times Sunday edition. I tipped a corner newstand guy to get the classifieds early (he had to cut a bundle open). After three weekends in a row, I landed a little studio on E. 47th. Not great but my first NY apt. How Did You Find Your First Apartment? |

A couple of additional tips. Many owners of booths in antique centers will be around the days right before the first of the month, and they'll be looking to make their booth rent. Cash talks. Also if you spot something you like but the owner isn't around, ask the cashier to phone and make your offer that way. What You Need To Know: Furniture Shopping At Antique Stores |

The format is too confusing. If I want to read a magazine, I'll buy one. With all of the simple, easy to load and user friendly formats available, I'm surprised that they opted for this one. There might be good content, but I'm not navigating all that to find out. New Online Design Magazine: House of Fifty |

I had them in one apartment in Manhattan, and they were leaded casement windows. Wonderful. Any number of door and window manufacturers make the wooden versions, but they don't seem very popular in this country at all. Too bad. They're lovely. French-Style Windows: Pros and Cons |
