Battra92 - some people with onion allergy can handle leeks (milder, less sulpher.) Other substitutes for pungency are toasted cumin seeds or fresh/dried chiles.

Before you paint, select some textiles and ornaments - framed art, throws and pillows, rugs, window-coverings, upholstry, bedding. It is very difficult to find lots of stuff to go with a pre-selected paint scheme, but if you have 4-5 items that you love, the room color will be more easily selected.

Love the rug. Consider hanging wall colored sheers, on wall colored rods, over the lower windows for daytime. For nightime - hang a set of extra tall yellow drapes over all three double-ranks of windows. During the day, pull them over to the far outsides of all three, between the window and sconce, for a frame to the windows. Consider putting a racing stripe of yellow on the white wood work, as well.

A rug is a good place to combine the elements of your color scheme, but a bad place to start a new and completely different one from the other major pieces of your decor - couch, walls & curtains.

No. Food processors make cooking a second-hand experience. The kinetics of chopping, grating, mixing and other touch-the-process steps are what I like about cooking.

I use one of a pair of (new!) trouser-socks. It's heavier than knee-highs, but still stretchy enough to fit over an old 32-oz yogurt container so it's easy to pour the almond-mash into it. Knee-highs tear too easily, usually while trying to milk out the almond mash. How to Make Almond Milk at Home Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn |
