My bedroom is almost the exact shade of the first photo. We used Benjamin Moore's "Orange Sherbet." My husband was skeptical at first, but now he agrees it's the perfect color for the room. It's looks especially beautiful in the dawn light.

I am absolutely dying to know what that bed is in the first photo. I'm looking for something exactly like that. Maybe BDDW?

@wesaturtle: Mint sounds much better than sage. I tried it with tarragon, because that was all I had handy, and that was really delicious too.


Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Recipe: Chicken in Coconut Milk

I tried the Jamie Oliver recipe last week, inspired by Faith's excellent post, and I loved it. I immediately started to wonder if it would work as well with coconut milk. Is anybody else familiar with Charmaine Solomon's chicken adobo recipe from the Complete Asian Cookbook? I was thinking that would adapt perfectly to this method.

I got these little ethylene gas guardian eggs in my stocking at Xmas, and they actually really work. I was shocked. My produce has been staying fresh for weeks and weeks at a time.

What constitutes affordable? I got custom shades from Budget Blinds in Park Slope. The price seemed pretty reasonable to me -- not cheap, but not outrageous, either -- and they look great.

Shred them and saute lightly with butter, lots of minced garlic, and whole cumin seeds. Before they get soggy, remove from heat and toss with lemon juice, crumbled feta, and salt and pepper. So delicious.

I got custom blinds made by Budget Blinds in Brooklyn. It cost way less than $1000. (I think it was more like $300 or $400 for two tall windows.) They look great and open from the top and the bottom, so you can have both privacy and light. I wanted them to blend into the walls, so I ordered a neutral tone, but I think they come in lots of colors.

I second that, Quercus: Ex Libris Anonymous is great. I've bought many journals from them over the years. And if you send them your own old books it's even cheaper; only $9 with shipping included.

I have fresh lavender growing in my herb garden. It doesn't have any flowers so far. In fact, it looks very similar to rosemary. Can I cook with this or do I need to purchase dried flowers?

Thanks, everyone. I'm going to check out the Bowery chair stores this weekend. (And yes, the counter is a really weird height. We actually brought the 24" and 30" styles home to try them, and neither worked.)

I just bought my first apartment and have no money left for a living room rug. This is just the thing I've been coveting.

ChrisG, do you know of any place in New York where those chairs are available? They look amazing, but I'd like to test them out before I purchase.
