I just started reading Emily Henderson's blog. I liked her take and her attitude a lot. But now I love her. That color!

I love it when we encounter a craftsperson/artist who makes useful items beautiful, and beautiful items useful. That bed is exactly what a child or former child would love: a cozy hobbit bed.

Oh, and what it "saves" it, in addition to the meticulous cleanliness, is the warm wood floor.

Currently, I have four pillows on the bed, because we always sleep with four pillows. When I add decorative pillows, there have been as few as six (including the four that are always in use) and as many as 12. I've never had problems with pillow "wrangling." I like both looks and I'm fortunate to be able to indulge myself or go Zen.

The hexagonal tiles were used in my last house which was built in 1911. Never got tired of them. Ever.

I am currently (and temporarily) living with 5 cats. Only one is an indoor cat. I would really like to be a good neighbor and not have the cats in other peoples gardens. I hope this thread will encourage people to use non-toxic solutions to both insects and cats.

I think artichokes are just an excuse to convey butter, mayo, or other sauces to one's mouth.

I think they have done an exceptional job on this apartment:witty without self-indulgence. And one of my favorite pieces is the large painting; it's amazing. Love!

The STATION is beautiful. However it would be a hundred times more useful if there were a slot to run a charging cable. Doesn't make sense for the phone to just sit there.

Just weighing in on open kitchens: don't like them because I don't like to interact with other people when I cook. I can but don't enjoy it. I want guests to stay in the living room with the drinks and the hor d'oeuvres I prepared for this purpose while I get the final preparations done. Even when you have kids, it's better, imho, to have then in close quarters than "over there"...
