I am currently using both (wood and plastic), interchangably, but at some point will probably use mostly wood spoons.

Great Great place! Really!

Please tell me where you got the office desk, really need one just like it, it's perfect.

I love a lot of things about this place. The effect of the chandelier off the ceiling is stunning IMO. And what I absolutely love is that it's real and tangible.

You know before I go through these pics again, I have to say something: I started visiting this blog daily because it is so relative in my life right now, however it is really discouraging to read some of your comments. Really just disgusting. I can understand stating your opinion and, even having enough design knowledge to critique/criticize some of the design choices. But some of you are just blatantly mean, questioning people's parenting abilities? People make choices based on what works for them and then they kindly open that up, a very personal thing, with the hope that it may inspire someone else. If it does not inspire you, say that, and that's all you need to say. Please don't turn this into AOL blogs cuz then I'm done.

Last question/comment: I overlooked the leather chair and ottoman, great, great pieces! And can you disclose why you have the office space covered under the loft bed? I think you mentioned in the blog earlier, but I love the loft bed idea and can't wait to do this for a room in my house. It's always cool to see the office space, so curious, if you can/want to disclose why it's covered?

I like your space, especially all the cool art above the eating counter, wall thing. I think it takes guts to open your space, so I commend you. I also think people need to be cognizant of everyone's various style. It's really hard to live in NYC and not accumulate a lot of stuff. Not that you can't control that because that really is a choice but it comes down to personality. That said I collect a lot of stuff/junk/crap, and then find myself having a yard sale every so often. I guess now is the time to get that under control. I really think you are utilizing the space as functionally as you can. It's obvious that you and your mate and your doggie actually live in the space. So it's more realistic to me than some of the homes I see posted on this blog. I am so challenged in hiding wires, never realized how bad that looks, am conscious of it and try to be proactive about it, but with all that goes on in life sometimes, it’s like whatever. Anyway I’m rambling; overall you guys have a great space.

Love the Mimosa. Recently did an accent wall, sahara shade, very close to this color - not as bright. Very warm, relaxing...all that good stuff. Love it. Contrasted it with an antique red (on another accent wall -- in another room). I know, or at least have heard the reds are out, but it really compliments the "yellow." Anyway love the color!

These items are a bit pricey but I think they are great ideas for microwave shelving (made that up, it's late, i'm tired):

I love it, but I think one of those posters would have been useful over the arcade.

Interesting...I had a moth infestation sometime ago, they took over my pantry and I sort of just lived through it, not really knowing what to do. But good to know.

I love bay leaves and add them to almost all of my meat dishes because the flavor is phenomenal (sp?)!
