I also covet the antique radio and vintage fan.

I wouldn't use canola or olive oil to season a cast-iron skillet as they destabilize easily when heated. Coconut oil, for instance, is much more stable and rarely goes rancid.

The *furniture*, IMHO, ignores the history of the building. The historical details of the beautiful space are completely at odds with its ultra-modern contents. IMHO.

I don't know. That first photo sort of gives me a headache, and the third one makes it look like the walls are closing in. Cool Soviet propaganda posters, though.

OK, not entirely related, but where can one find that woven natural fiber cushion that the woman in the photo is lying on at the top of the page? I've been looking for a cushion like forever and can't seem to find one.

The streamline is my favorite. Like water rushing over pebbles on a riverbed.

I've recycled all our plastic containers and use glass refrigerator containers (eBay) and old jars for food storage. For bag lunches, I use a stainless steel container like the ones traditionally used in India called a tiffin. It's a set of nesting stainless bowls with a lid and a locking mechanism to keep them sealed. It's convenient to carry, and you can even eat straight from the bowl, if you like.

I'd like to get a Japanese bento box made of true lacquer (as opposed to the plastic commonly used today), but these are hard to find. Unless you want to spend upwards of $100 on an antique. Ah well, a girl can dream.
