Wasn't this exact recipe in the LA Times a week or two ago?

I throw them onto a non-stick frying pan, no spray, no oil----totally dry. Let them soften a bit, flip, soften, remove. PERFECT warm tortillas.

Visual Comfort makes a great Abacus lamp that I purchased recently.

Wow. Is less furniture possible? Maybe move one chair into a bedroom or get rid of it entirely?

Any tips to switch out a can light? I know there is a 'can light converter' kit that you can order online but it's pretty crappy.

This is about as far as I could get away from my own style and you'd have to put a gun to my head to have that much lime green in my eyesight....but this house is fabulous.

Why are TVs automatically associated with bad design? TVs are being designed to be as sexy as sleek as ever. I have an enormous 50 inch flat screen and a very well designed living room. No point in hiding it with an apron (sorry!)--I mean, it's part of the whole "living" in living room, right?

I know this is an old post but I found this when googling Casamidy and I figured someone may do the same. I just want to add my two cents to this as I've had a completely different experience. Yes, emails chains have fallen apart a bit but you have to figure that this is a "family"-run biz--not a Pottery Barn. I ordered a gorgeous table that arrived in flawless condition except for a mirror inset top that was shattered. Jorge answered me immediately and said that they would cover (via insurance) the damage and I should replace the top locally. I'm in the process of doing this now but I can tell you that I think Casamidy is wonderful. Shit happens in shipping---the table was stuck in customs for a bit too. You can't expect mass retail chain type shipping when it comes to this. You're getting a far more unique, custom piece of furniture that you'll be able to live with much longer than some crappy CB2 catalog item that will be tossed aside during the next move.

I disagree---I ordered some Robshaw bedding from them a while back and it was very delayed. They were EXTREMELY patient with my persistence and always kept me updated with an ETA as I had to receive it within a certain window. I'm sad to see them go.
