Do you peel your rhubarb first, or just wash well and then cut up?

Love the artwork. Anyone else have popup ads that couldn't be closed? Almost ruined the House Tour!

I enjoy my ice cream maker, but it does not seem to save money. Buying the cream and special ingredients seems to add up. I will have to plan out my usage more efficiently. I like the idea of making summer drinks.

Can you mention the chain of hearts dangling next to the string of lights? I think these look great and would like to make something like that. Are they paper or fabric? Is there any sort of weight on the bottom of the ribbon/string?

I hope to buy an immersion blender soon, because just last week I burned myself trying to blend the tomato soup slink'd here on TheKitchn. The lid popped off spraying me and my kitchen. My "stand" blender died, but my Bullet blender did the trick, once the soup cooled.

My faded duvet and not-so-faded shams really could use a replacement. These would be fab!

West back to East Pasadena (LA) store today and bought green tray (pictured above in ATLA post). This one tray, plus one small round plate, one coaster set, a couple trash bins, and framed prints were all there were left on a very bare endcap. I was very pleased to have bought the tray, but would like to see the entire line...even if just on the website!

I also went to two Targets this morning, a big and little store. One had some of the stationery, but no trays to be found! Very disappointing. A manager said they would be putting out the line this Tuesday or Thursday.

A drive north to San Francisco. I visit family and friends, shop in the many unique stores, and enjoy how clean the city is!

I would definitely like help with my living room. I want to add more seating, paint on the walls, a console for electronics, and more original artwork. Between built in shelves/cupboards on one wall, a large, low, and long window opposite the shelves, and an awkward walkthrough space from the front door to the hallway, I feel stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My husband and I, and 5 friends just rented a home this past weekend in Palm Springs! I included the link below to the rental.

The house was a beautifully restored Wexler home that had a great mix of Ikea and vintage Mid-Century furniture, complete with original artwork (both Palm Springs and Rat Pack themed, naturally) in every room. It was spotless, well taken care of, and even had music playing and the air conditioning on when we arrived. Although we were near the airport, I heard a plane maybe once over the course of 3 days.

While the temperature reached 110 degrees, we still had a wonderful time. The pool stayed nice and cool, and with plenty of sunblock we even visited the Living Desert Museum (a zoo of desert animals) on Saturday morning. We were treated to a brief thunder/rainstorm on Sunday morning that added to the atmosphere.

We all had a wonderful time and agreed this should be a yearly tradition.

Better odds than the lottery! This would be dreamy.
