OMG I haaate the tracking!
My girl cat has a habit of jumping out of the litter box with a little sideways jerking motion thus sending litter EVERYWHERE. I call it her "potty dance"...it's like she's showing off and just so happy that she just pooped!

@redbegonia

I had a cat who developed incontinence when she got older and I had to discard many of my items after she had peed on them.

You may want to try using the Puppy Pee Pads for her. I realized at some point that it was the feel of the cat litter that my cat hated. I would have an immaculate litter box for her but sure enough she'd just go on the bathroom rug.

I personally didn't get a chance to try the pee pads before she passed away but I've since heard people suggest that for older or ailing cats.

Bristol Looms also offers beautiful blankets that would be great for summer. Her scarves are great year round options too!

Yay for Rhody love on AT and Newport to boot!

I absolutely love the decor of this home and I love that the couple has embraced the bones of the house that are so common in these old Newport homes.

Check out Natalia KW. Her recipe link is below. My favorites are the Carrot Cake and the Curry Pate.

I LOVE seeing inside Mark and James' home and I love seeing these two Newport icons getting some AT spotlight!

Their place brings me right back to the original Salvation Cafe and I love seeing Mark's bright smile just like every time I used to stop into Pleasant Surprise.

I'm in Rhode Island, and the first weekend we spent in our new home this past January, I said "to hell with the damn storm door!" and we took it off. It was so liberating!

Snow, sleet, rain, etc. and it's doin' just fine. I began scoping out other homes in my neighborhood and a surprising number of people didn't use storm doors either. Growing up we always had one but now I wonder if it's just an old New England habit rather than a real necessity.

I love to see Lil' Rhody getting some face time on AT!

I pop into the Farmstead Mercantile on a monthly basis and they really do offer a great selection of items and yes those candles are DELICIOUS! They definitely offer a unique retail experience that has been much needed in this area for a long time!

I think you and my husband are kindred spirits. Sadly, I HATE the sound of Ray's laugh....maybe it's Tom's. Whosever it is, I HATE it!

Rock on!

It's certainly not my style and it seems just plain impractical but also apparently, not a joke: http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/09/noble-savage-a-mens-tea-party/

I love this room design! Was the wallpaper purchased recently because I know it's been out of print for a few years now and I've been trying to hunt some down!

It'd be a dream to design with the Mara Mi team but alas Im a New England girl.

Never even knew this flagship store existed....might have to plan a midwest vacation soon!

AAAAH!! People who improperly credit sources and don't credit at all make me want to absolutely scream! Take the extra 20 seconds to do a quick google image search for the image.

And I think Tumblr pages are solely responsible for 95% of the improper crediting that happens on Pinterest. If the image URL is from a Tumblr page, there's a 99% chance that's not the proper source.

Prague is my favorite and Vienna was a close second. American holiday markets are pathetic compared to the real deal.

As @HHRI mentioned, the hot wine and grilled meats are a must!

I know money matters are a personal subject but I'd love to start seeing some rents listed in these home tours.
That way maybe I wouldn't feel so bad about my own apartment because I'd know that I could (most likely) simply never afford these beautiful spaces....or maybe that I could!

Hillstone in Midtown offers these to at lunch time. I think it's genius and it sure helps to lighten the mood if you're at a particularly heavy business lunch.

If you're in Venice, make a trip to Burano and check out the lace shops. Very expensive but beautifully hand-crafted lace and linens.

As for Murano glass, beware, if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, then it's not real. Even on the island of Murano, there were many shops that had imported small glass pieces from China.

I'd recommend a nice big Italian pottery pasta bowl. They are sturdy for transport and a great conversation piece at dinner parties.

a quick google search will tell you that OK is indeed alive and well and owns/controls her own design company.
