What a wonderful post and link to a new blog! Thank you. 10 Zen Approaches to Curing Your Home zen habits Flag this comment	11/9/10 3:07 PM
I'm in the camp that worth of a great night's sleep is priceless! We recently tossed our 6 year old Sealy - around 700$ - it sagged, was lumpy and creaky. We knew it sucked but we slept OK (we're in our late 20's) and spending the $$ was scary. So we postponed and dealt with it for more than a year until a spate of travelling and sleeping in other peoples beds proved we weren't getting good rest. We bit the bullet and tested the higher end beds and ended up with a Tempurpedic at around $3000 and LOVE IT. We fall asleep instantly and have no aches. Yes it was a big outlay, but we know that this mattress will last way more than 5 years. What Is the Right Price for a Bed? A Year in Bed Flag this comment	9/22/10 3:11 PM

This is such a timely post, I just bought some hooks to install in my tiny entryway! Thanks AT! I have 3 hooks and a four foot wide wall. What do people think is good spacing for the hooks? Closer together to look like a unit, or more spaced apart to take advanrache of the whole wall? 6 Components to a Well-Functioning Landing Strip Flag this comment	9/16/10 10:25 AM

Hi everyone, it's Angela - thanks so much for all your responses! I'm heartened that a few people do like the green (it's one of my favorite colors!) but have definitely learned a lesson about context! Since the bathroom is through the bed room, and is the only one in the apartment, I'm going to follow the suggestion to use a color from the rest of the house to for more of a unified look. This puts me in the linen/butter/khaki camp, so those awesome blues. purples and grays will have to wait for the next apartment. I definitely plan to try switching the bulb again. I can't change out the fixture in the rental, it only takes 4-pin compact fluorescent bulbs, but I'm going to hunt out some more bulb options online. I've been making a list of all your suggestions and will be searhing out samples tonight and will definitely follow up as soon as I can with the update! Thanks again.

While I could live without AC in an ideal setting (big windows for cross ventilation, fans) the reality of living in NYC means that open windows mean dust and car exhaust in my 400 sq. ft space!

I just got out a situation like this, my mantra became to only affect a change if it directly concerned me. You do have to accept that other people have differing points for that moment when it's time to clean. Clean only your mess, leave other stuff. The fact that they aren't doing what they said they would is a real drag, but find enjoyment in your own space. Oh, and the reason I finally moved: roomie brought in bedbugs from a bedframe off the street. Scream. Help! Everyone Except Me is a Slob!

Hi guys, thanks for the suggestions!! I'm already planning a trip out to Two Jakes this weekend :) and will search out a few more shops like this in the city. Has this ever been the subject of a AT post? Valerie, that's so interesting that this kind of sofa would be adopted by the Air Force as a standard style!
