Oh, and I realized there's something important to a kitchen and kinda magical, actually. It's restful and calming. And that's regular soap and running water.

I used to be terrible with them. Like, weeks. Now I usually ask myself the question, am I going to want to do this later? No, so I wash everything right away now. I realized I could do them, and that it wasn't really a big deal.

I second that - the first lamp from Anthropologie is actually the "Bruno" Double Arm Pharmacy Lamp, by Robert Abbey. Nobody should have to pay 400 dollars for it!

Slick place. Where did you get that pitcher, above the massimo vignelli cups?

Really? In my experience, women make plenty of noise when they pee...

Red. To bring out the red accents in the rest of the kitchen more boldly. I like the red paired with that aqua to contrast against the brown of the kitchen.

Get some acrylic cut in long narrow narrow shelves. Put 'em up in rows - I think it would be great to have a whole wall massed with these things. But I guess a hundred actually isn't that many...

Why not just line them up completely along the mantle? I think one should either be very minimal in little groupings with things like this, or go big with the sheer mass of them.

Seriously, yeah, William Stout Books in Jackson Square, SF.

A list of design bookstores in SF has to begin with William Stout, it is THE major one. Green Apple Books also has a good selection of both used and new.

0! Whoohoo! I agree, though, some of those colors looked awfully similar... It's crazy, you could be just one off and not have a perfect score?

Although, a good cell phone (or especially new iPod) can easily double as a decent flashlight...

I used to have this problem, except it was a horrid cooking smell that would come in through the bathroom.

The solution: turn on the bathroom fan (this is different then turning on a fan somewhere in the apartment). Because the smell is coming through the exhaust, you want to pull it the other way.
