Broadway Panhandler's prices are significantly better than Sur La Table, but Amazon's prices are better than either of them - for small stuff, anyway. FYI.

However, I was agonizing over a Le Creuset pot during their last "big sale" on that equipment... Only that it wasn't really much of a sale. The list price for a 7.25 dutch oven is like $365, and the sale price was $219... which I ultimately could not justify. I was in the Panhandler just after the sale and their regular price was like $239... So the "$365" is like... a hoax. Only a crazy upscale place on Martha's Vineyard would charge that... and the sale price of $219 is actually not even 10% off their regular price. What's the big whoop there?

I dunno. I was very disillusioned.

Why is AT even featuring this place? AT has gotten so big that it makes me wonder if you're being paid to give a shout out to certain stores. Maybe I just don't know who your audience is anymore.

BTW - doesn't all clad have an annual sale around this time of year? AT usually makes a big notation of it... Did I miss it?

Impossible to select a preference without sitting on one.

The Eloise sofa from Zagaroli Leathers (in North Carolina) was the most comfortable sofa I've ever sat in. The pinnacle of style and comfort... http://www.zagaroli.com/pdfs/sofas/eloise.pdf

I'll never forget how great it felt to sit in this couch...

Get yourself some funky slipcovers... maybe yellow or powder blue with turquoise piping to tie into that turquoise in the background, or a deep red with some other accent... or ditch the sofa... But that paint is awesome... I like to wear a bright pink shirt to work with a shiny yellow silk tie or a red floral pattern... the same concept could work here.

What are you smoking out in LA and how can I get some?

How these made it past the "hot... or not?" feature is beyond me.

I need to go spend a few hours in some disspassionate modern plaza in midtown and try to blot the word "rattan" from my mind... and find some salve for the burning on my retinas.

Please don't ever do this. again.

Brick is a porous material... It needs to breathe when used in exterior applications... If it is painted or otherwise sealed, it can be harmful to the long-term structural maintenace of the brick (and mortar joints).

I am unsure as to how this applies to interior brick, but to be on the safe side, I'd get some carpets that are appropriate to the period of your furniture and throw them over the existing brick without sealing or painting.

You might look at some old interiors mags for flooring and carpeting ideas.

Good luck.

I signed up for emails years ago and never get them... They never really worked.

Is this luxurious bedding AFFORDABLE? Or is it only for the top 5% of the population?

I have two wall colors... chartreuse and pale, pale blue.

I think you should play with blues.

Great chairs. Imagine how sexy they'd be without the spindles and that upper back rest.

Have you seen the apothecary jars in C.O. Bigelow on 6th Ave??? They are AMAZING.

Also, check out the cased glass ones on ebay.

Great music... This puts you in the spirit just thinking of these tunes.

I'd have to make a playlist from all of these suggestions, making sure "Do they know it's Christmas", Eurythmics' "Walking in a winter wonderland", and there's a song from Erasure, can't think of the title... These would be included... and I'd play them from a white one!

Happy Holidays...

Marten Van Severen's chair is the unsung winner of the dining room chair contest... you really ought to check him out at the Vitra store... or is there something about this great chair I'm missing out on?

Who's doing the editing on these posts???... Was this a serious home design suggestion???

Was the "old kitchen accessory" unattractive in a way I was unaware of???

This was truly ridiculous thing to post... Or rather, it should have been posted AS a ridiculous thing.

You're getting a cut to post this stuff, right?

I think you guys should post an array of lazy susans now. Consider it a $630 penance. I'd like to see marble ones, shapely wooden ones, chrome ones, tupperware ones, mid-century mod ones...
