Seeing more and more of these advertisements-as-articles recently. Seems very anti what AT is about - "if you hurry, introductory discounted rates are being offered through February"??

I agree with Chester/Trudy on the kitchen but wow - it does my soul good to see that real loft bldgs still exist in nyc. This loft reminds me of my friends apts in soho that I would play in as a child. Of course my friends parents were actually artists with full on studios in the living space. Usually when you see an apt described as a NYC loft you cannot tell it apart from the brand new condos - this is the way these buildings are supposed to look.

I currently have two avocado plants that I've had for about a yr that started out as a seed. They aren't doing great but then I should pay better attention to 'em. I'm constantly attempting to grow tomatoes (eat so many of them) and what happens is that I'll plant the seeds, very quickly get sprouts, it grows well but then sort of stops growing (but still looks healthy) but never grows fruit. Once I got little tiny tomatoes but that's it. I also always stick the tiny pineapple seeds in soil but never get anything from that.

Looks amazing! As a possible solution to the footsie feel dilema, maybe you could try using rit dye? It's of course much thinner so you probably would have to use a sponge to apply it to the doormat.

I definitely agree with Miami Elaine, I much prefer to be able to immediately see where my kitchen is unclean so it can be dealt with right then & there. To me that's one of the appeals of a white kitchen.

Of course I'm jumping for joy that's it's not just me. So now that we've established that there's a ton of CL items that are drastically overpriced junk, the thing that really gnaws at me is - where's all the really cool stuff that shows up repeatedly on AT amazing house tours?? And did the AT house tour folks just break down and pay jacked up prices when they found these pieces? The fleeting hope that I too could score, say, an ACTUAL vintage iron & leather chair on CL and be able to casually say "I picked it up on CL" a la AT House Tour folks is the one thing that enables me to trudge through those listings anymore.

Love this look! One question, is it me or are the pics color manipulated? On first glance I thought maybe the photos were b & w with the wood color added in.

Thankfully I'm not allergic to ay foods, but I do get a weird reaction in my mouth after eating fresh pineapple & eggplant. My mouth feels like it's been burned or scratched raw. Does anyone else have that reaction?

I've actually seen larger boxes of different shapes filled with interesting items suchs as cotton balls, fake flowers, etc & used as side & occassional tables. Always wanted to take on that project, but haven't yet. Has anyone else attempted?

Miyagisan, best laugh I've had all day!
