Has someone already covered an ingenious way to hang pendant lighting in a rental where you can't open up the walls to wire the ceiling? I want to put a pendant light or chandelier over a dining room table in a rental. I'm pretty sure I can get the wiring converted so it just plugs into a wall, but I'm not sure the best way to hide the cord. I was thinking about a hook in the ceiling and incorporating the cord into the overall design, but my "client" (bf) may not go for such a bohemian approach. Tips: 16 Flag this comment	8/9/07 7:06 AM
I had one of these portable a/c units. First of all, it's nearly impossible to get the tube vented out of a rental window -- you need to cut a hole in the glass or have a panel made that has a hole the size of the tube. Second (and possibly because I didn't have good insulation around the stupid tube), the thing condensed water like a m**********r at night, and the (2" deep at most) tray that catches the water overflowed, and water went all over the floor and leaked through the floor into the neighboring apartment, and warped the floorboards... TOTAL. NIGHTMARE. I wound up propping the thing on a chair with a bucket under the drainage tube, and would still wake in the night to empty it on a regular basis. I probably wasted a ton of energy, too. (wincing at memory). Good Questions: Is There Such Thing as a "Windowless" AC? Flag this comment	5/1/07 2:06 PM
"Where are the Women?" was the cover story in Fast Company. I think it was a couple of years ago. Fast Company is a business magazine dedicated to innovative offices. It's actually a lot like AT, but about business. Is that a bench across from the wall of magazines? It's like a tiny waiting room. I think it's kind of cool. And maybe it looks nicer in person than it does in the photo. Maybe Daniel just likes to be able to have back issues for reference. In Style always has an article about celebrity homes in it. I always feel sad when I put my magazines out on the curb for recycling. If I could keep them all in storage, I probably would, just in case I wanted to go back and read an article. As a matter of fact, I was just talking about the FC article the other day after the Op-Ed in the Times about women and the labor force. #28 - Daniel's Idiosyncratic Little Pad Flag this comment	4/27/07 11:56 AM
SCRABBLE THEME. Wasn't there a scrabble themed room in some publication years ago? You have the tan/brown and the peach. All you need is teal. you have wood too. My first thought was white waffle-weave shower curtain and big floor covering also. Good Questions: What Goes Well With Brown? Flag this comment	4/27/07 11:27 AM
