I really wish that you would have included more about the people who are actually working to pick the berries. Who are the people working in the fields? Where do they come from? What is their life like? What is the work like? (Other than just *hard* - we know that.) The greatest benefit to organic farming is the lack of pesticide exposure for the pickers. I'm sad to see that this is missing from the article.

Gorgeous! I love the backsplash on the counter. Fantastic job, especially when compared with the before photos.
Question: can you open the dryer? That wire shelving unit seems like it's in the way.

I added some inexpensive pull-out wire drawers from Amazon to my lower kitchen cabinets about 6 months ago and it has made a tremendous difference in my kitchen! I'm able to find things much more easily and don't dread going into the deep lower cabinets anymore. Things are so organized!

Yes to the cats! It's gotten to the point where I don't even bother to set my alarm unless it's a day where I have to be somewhere by 9am. Cats = alarm clock.

This is fantastic. It looks to be about the same size and layout as my NYC kitchen and it IS large by NYC standards! They've done a fantastic job in creating more counter and storage space. Question - where did they move the table? No room for it anymore!

Is there a noticeable difference between using Honey Maid graham crackers (or any others that have honey added) vs "regular" graham crackers - i.e., those not made with honey?

Yes I'd also like to know how people have made this in the slow cooker. It looks delicious!

I thought that this was going to be a trick as in - the invisible bike helmet is the one that you don't need when there is good infrastructure as in the Netherlands, Denmark, etc. (Although even in these places I'm still horrified that people don't wear helmets! Everyone should always wear a helmet!)

That said, this is a brilliant invention! Nicely done!

I absolutely love your apartment, right down to the color of the shower hooks! The porch looks especially cozy.

That's worth about $320,000 in 2012 dollars - about the cost of a 2 bedroom apartment in Queens now! Good investment. :)

Wish my bathroom was large enough for furniture - as it is, the only "furniture" is a litter box. No room for anything else!

Cute cupboard, but too bad you can't see the yarn on display! I keep my stash in the plastic see-through Lekman boxes in an Expedia from IKEA. The yarn is sorted by color and you can readily see what's there (in the front of the boxes, at least).

I absolutely LOVE your apartment. If I wasn't part of a pair I'd be first in line to take over when you move out! :)
