A leisurely and loving foot rub with special foot cream and more massage with nice smelling lotion, splurge on some fancy toiletries. I just picked all the early blooming daffodils ahead of the coming cold front and my house is so much cheerier now.


5 Ways to Indulge Yourself in the Kitchen on Valentine's Day

Very pretty home. Curious about the ermine too. I read about a trend of freeze drying dead pets and wondered it that was what happened to him, but he isn't named with the others.

Decided I should get off the soapbox and commission a lamp from my friend with my black walnut, which he tells me is too dense to glow, but can be a base.
http://www.glowingwoodsculptures.com/?
He attends shows all over the country and said he is frequently accused of "wasting" wood with his process and then he laughed a lot. He doesn't update his website.
Then he articulately extolled the uniqueness of each tree and the way his work brings the history and life of the tree to a beautiful and useful lamp, and we agreed it is is an heirloom to cherish and pass down. My daughter bought one for an anniversary.
He burns very dry pine in a hot fire (with no creosote) and heats his workshop that way.
He was a Duke scientist before over 20 years of woodwork, so I believe him.
In NY last week I saw wagon loads of pine shelves being crushed in a grinding truck, so one of you figure out how to salvage useful material like that, from store remodels. It pained me to see the waste.

I am disappointed by all the negative comments here. This is a beautiful product. Pine is not suitable for burning in a chimney. It creates a fire hazard. Stumps are hauled away to landfills by the dump truck load during logging or burned on site.
I imagine I'd be friends with Mr. Berger if I lived in New Zealand. My mom saved me a great piece of black walnut from a hurricane felled tree that was being cut up yesterday.
He's very kind to show his process and I urge anyone who wants to buy something to support craftsmen/ artists whenever they can.
I sent a request to the editors to also show the work of a local artist who also makes glowing lamps but after reading the guidelines for posting it seems appropriate. This is a worldwide readership so I hope I take nothing away from Mr. Berger, but he may also be interested to know of his American counterpart who is very nice guy. http://www.glowingwoodsculptures.com/

Beautiful, and so efficient and functional. I agree about the small kitchen, a good cook makes good food under any circumstances. Love the colored telephones, green velvet sofa, vintage linoleum and your fab shoes.

I just watched "Sylvia" and though all the rooms were dark muted colors the walls were glossy and looked great. I used glossy on the wood boards of the kitchen ceiling I found under the popcorn sheetrock and am very pleased.

I was looking in art galleries in Chelsea last week and one of them had a projection of a moving pattern on the floor. The ill feeling it caused lasted a long time. Ceiling fans can trigger a migraine for me and I really dislike patterns like this.

I bought pretty vintage glasses that had a cloudiness in them that I thought I could clean off, but in google reading I found that storing them upside down over time makes the glass cloudy. Some of them improved with soaking in vinegar and some are permanently damaged.

A handful of candied ginger and walnuts is nice, or any dried fruits and nuts.

I'm eating a box of Annie's macaroni, but I filled it with (frozen) little peas and corn, quick, always on hand, and satisfying. We eat fruit of all types and raw salads for supper frequently, also stir fry with bok choy and vegetables on brown rice or ww spaghetti, or sauce made of mushrooms, eggplant and artichokes, soup with canned beans and pumpkin added.

NY Kate, revel in your weekend. Welcome to the 50's, (which I like to think of as the decade of fruition!)

STH, sending you imaginary hugs and cups of hot tea.

Easy food here; waffles with blueberry sauce, pita bread pesto mushroom pizza, spinach salad and lots of fresh citrus for snacking.

They have a lot to be smug about, particularly that stunning dog, the floors, (especially the salvaged wood) and that neon sign.

Take out minestrone, because I have a virus. Best discovery: Wholefoods boxed coconut water that I am mixing half and half with grapefruit juice. Very soothing.

Thanks Brubro! Making the nail in the middle sounds exciting because although delicious, the RN is rather plain looking.

This house looks so comfortable and interesting the owner must be a fun and fascinating person.
I owe a debt of gratitude to Brian for making me a better parent. While I was sternly lecturing my adolescent son on filling his brain with tasteless, offensive trash, insisting that Family Guy was not even funny, Brian totally cracked me up with the most hilarious moment in tv ever. There is nothing more tasteless than dictating "taste" to others, even your own children. Thank you Family Guy makers.
