I want to try both, and my husband probably will, too. A round of each? Your photos are so pretty for this post. For Valentine's Day: The His & Hers Gin and Tonics Flag this comment	2/10/12 5:04 PM
I think they're super pretty, but I'm not sure how they're a small garden solution. Also, they won't sink indefinitely--see those cross pieces on the legs? They'll prevent that (though there's an anomaly in the photoshopping of the silver one). Small Garden Solution: Gardener's Sofa & Table by Eva Schildt Flag this comment	2/9/12 5:44 PM
One thing to keep in mind is the amount of room the dryer vent will need. Our machines are in our bathroom and they protrude into the space quite a bit (they basically take over the room) because of the vent.

I'm so happy to find out I'm in a community of mustard lovers/hoarders. King of Condiments: 5 Ways to Use Mustard in Everyday Cooking Flag this comment	2/2/12 3:47 PM
At last count, I think we had seven different kinds of mustard in our fridge. That's not a problem, is it? King of Condiments: 5 Ways to Use Mustard in Everyday Cooking Flag this comment	2/2/12 10:21 AM
I have paper "Make-A-Fire" kits in my shop--super easy and fun. http://www.brittanypowell.com/shop/#ecwid:category=539319&mode=product&product=1849003 For Stir-Crazy Kids: Indoor Camping! Flag this comment	2/1/12 1:19 PM
My weirdest loyalty is to Wolfgang Puck vegetable broth. I don't love his other broths, but his veggie broth is the best. You just have to look at a creepy photo of him on the label. You and Only You: What Brands Have Your Unswerving Loyalty? Flag this comment	1/30/12 5:47 PM
I still don't like the wasted space this solution leaves. Our corner cabinets have a jointed door, so both the left and right sides open at once. Then, inside the space, the shelves are staggered. There's one on the left wall and one on the right wall. It is so perfect for big bakeware. I don't have to stack stuff much and I can reach everything pretty easily.

I also clean as I go and have trouble with a messy workspace. My husband lets all the cleaning wait until the end. We do not cook together. I have trouble cooking with other people because of this issue (and because it is so hard to divvy tasks), so I prefer to do collaborative meals pot-luck style rather than cooking them together. Ugh, that makes me feel like I'm so uptight. Organized Cooking: Do You Clean As You Go? Flag this comment	1/26/12 10:05 AM
Oh, this recipe makes my day. I can't wait to try it. Vegetarian Recipe: Korean Dolsot Bibimbap Flag this comment	1/25/12 4:27 PM
We have Pollock chairs. Modern, but not in the "aeron" sense. They're super comfy, but I needed to add a pillow to the back of mine because it is a bit deep. Modern or Vintage: What Kind of Desk Chair Do You Favor? Flag this comment	1/21/12 6:06 PM
I love this idea. We drink wine, but only have an open bottle of red on hand once in a while. I'd be thrilled to have a bag of this on hand (with a zip-top, of course). Dry Gourmet: Non-Alcoholic Cooking Wine Flag this comment	1/21/12 11:35 AM
Happy birthday NYKATE--enjoy your weekend. We attended a soup dinner at friends' house last night, so no cooking. Probably some quinoa something for us this weekend. Maybe a pear/blue cheese tart. Oh, and these muffins from chocolate and zucchini: http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2011/06/chocolate_coconut_muffins_gluten-free_dairy-free.php#more Hmm, maybe breakfast for dinner?

Vanilla beans, the occasional herbs/spices or hard to find ingredients, and malted milk powder (why the heck don't our local stores carry it?). Do You Buy Ingredients or Specialty Foods Online? Flag this comment	1/9/12 8:54 PM
The pantry. Hmm, that might be a good use for that space above the kitchen cabinets, though. Where Do You Store Flower Vases? Flag this comment	1/5/12 3:28 PM

Fun to see such a lovely home--warm and inviting. I love the bar area. Guy & Jennifer's Contemporary California Modern Home House Tour Flag this comment	12/16/11 10:06 AM
Oh, this is exactly what I imagined butterbeer to be. It has to be alcoholic and hot! I can't wait to try it. Recipe Review: The Real Butterbeer 12 Bottle Bar Flag this comment	12/9/11 3:38 PM
We received "An Everlasting Meal" as a gift and I can't wait to get started. I read "The Last Chinese Chef" this year and really enjoyed it, especially for the food talk. Books for Cooks that Aren't Cookbooks! Flag this comment	12/7/11 8:23 PM
