I stop by Garage Sale regularly - it's never dull with such a rotation of goods! Plus, you can stop by Hudson, Lekker, and other neighborhood shops before or after your scavenging. To me, that's a perfect Saturday morning. Apartment Therapy Boston | Garage Sale: High-End Consignment |

This is really great news! Can't wait to share and trade tips. I just sold an Angela Adams rug and a heap of other modern furniture via Craigslist over the last 2 weeks. Next time, I'll try our AT classifieds as well! Apartment Therapy Boston | Welcome: AT Boston! |

Joining the chorus - one of the best houses I have ever seen photographed. A total delight. Great lessons in texture, color, and shopping abound. This post and these slides will be fun to come back to again and again. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | LA House Tour: Kevin and Greg's Sugar Shack |

Add me in to the "Mom taught me to make hospital corners" gang. Also I worked at a B & B on Nantucket one summer and did thirteen (13) beds a day. I'm well-taught in taut beds! Very funny trying to teach hubby how to do this, though. Can't teach old birds new tricks. So, folks, get your kids while they're young!

Given the recent comments, I am a little loathe to post a tidbit of advice, but the creators of this lovely apartment might really enjoy a new book on choosing and buying art that has just come out. The Art of Buying Art by Paige West - a good choice for browsing or borrowing at the library. I recommend it because it might help you personalize the space (if that is at all of interest).

I think I am the only one on the planet who adores The Unplugged Kitchen by Viana La Place, judging by what it goes for on Amazon these days ($1.99). It's extremely poetic, for when you need to get whooshy about your love of plants, and has lots of good lifestyle ideas, like how to enjoy broth. Sounds weird, but bright green broth can really perk up your mood - well, you know that already. Mmmm, her rice cake with ground almonds; mmm, her simple tomato sauce has become my standby. The problem with her book, like Alice Waters' books, is the California ingredient list can be depressing for those of us who live where there is actually a winter. (Look, it's great that you can make ten desserts from persimmons, but stop rubbing it in, okay?) Good Question: Good Vegetable-Focused Cookbooks? |

Is it Ben Marcus the writer you refer to? Very small world we live in. I once had one of his apple tarts, and my, was it decadent, born utterly of the subset between white-box modernism and patterns & wallpaper ColorTherapy: A High Modernist Debate |

Keep up the good work! What a blessing indeed to have a garden in such a dense neighborhood, and considering the delicious food shopping opportunities in the North End, I'd say you've got it all. Just keep up what you're already doing. I set a monthly budget for home décor, and what a thrill it is to buy something for my home (or in your case, garden) every single month.

I have used and LOVED the cedar shoe racks you can buy at the QVC site - that being the cheapest source when I scoured the web a year ago after initially finding them on some fancy shop's site. They don't fit your specs above, it's true, but some readers might appreciate the natural odor-absorbing properties of cedar. $24 for a 3-pair stackable rack. We now have 8 racks in various spots in our closets. Good Questions: Know a Better Version of This Rack? |
