I loved the Martha show in the second season on network TV. She'd found her vibe. The live audience helped her chill a bit and helped her to be more topical and loose.

When her show moved to Hallmark, the production values declined and she didn't get as many celeb guests because of her lower reach on cable.

Anderson is my talk show fave this season. He's willing to buck the talk show format a bit, keep it a bit less cloying.

Marta is an icon and a hero in the home design world. I am sad to see her fade like this. I hope she gets another come back (remember: the live show was part of Martha's post-prison comeback along with her special Apprentice show which gave us Bravo-lebrity Bethenny Frankel)

Does anyone know the difference in the audio quality between Libratone and Sonos?

I like it because the scale and casual/entertaining vibe feel right for my urban home. But I want to mix it up and not live in a museum -- bring on a modern mix!

Yes, I want a green bulb that dims too! There's one light I leave on in the apartment all day, as we come in and out + for security. I'd really like to get that green, but we really need to dim it.

I am so glad you're on the case, Sara Rae! I just moved into a new home with 11 feet ceilings and big open space.

I need much bigger art to get that lofty look, but wow does it come at a much, much bigger price!

It seems like large original art costs a significant bit more than smaller. I totally get that bigger pieces take more time and more materials, but there's definitely an opening the market for bigger stuff that's a tiny bit more affordable.

Studioren, I saw the touch faucets at the kitchen and bath show and they were pretty cool.

So many of you are so grouchy. I'm looking forward to the royal wedding. The Queen is an icon of our time and now a new generation is entering. In a world with so much negative and sad stuff, why hate on an international celebration of something fun?

Love that sunny palm room -- minus the body in a glass box.

Do you know where the succulents in the far right picture came from? I clicked over to the (beautiful!) gallery on Garden Design Magazine's site and couldn't figure it out.

I ordered some plants online last spring from a very reputable online store and have to say I was disappointed. They were far more expensive and less healthy than plants I can get at our local farmer's market. I did like that they were a bit more obscure, unique to my garden. But many of the plants I bought online didn't survive the transplant.
