I'm a Texan too, so no offense intended, but Blue Bell doesn't hold a candle to Jeni's.

Seconding the rec for Jeni's. It's quite a splurge though (last time I ordered, I got 6 pints and it cost close $86). Totally worth it for a special occasion!!

I am the first to admit that I am a coffee snob. I have invested a great deal of money into my "ultimate" setup (Macap grinder and Expobar Brewtus) and I order my beans from Blue Bottle....

However, while vacationing in Paris last year, I discovered the Nespresso Citiz. I ended up getting one for my boyfriend because he doesn't drink coffee every day and the pods stay "fresher" (don't get me started on this - of course, the quality is nowhere near what I get from my machine).

But it's a great back-up or alternative to SBUX. It travels well and is really easy to maintain. My only issue is that the pods are not easily available in US stores.

How can ApartmentTherapy assume that we don't have garages?

My loft had the range set in the island. I liked being able to cook for a crowd while facing them. However, there was no ventilation...and 16' ceilings....cooking smells were inevitable and they tended to linger. I finally had to quit cooking fish except in the oven. I'm really glad that my next place has the stove placed against the wall. With a hood!

After owning a condo for 10 years and sinking over $70K in improvements that I did not even come close to recouping when I sold it http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/house-tours/house-tour-kathryns-loft-life-009235

I will soon be a renter and it's my goal to spend absolutely nothing in improvements!!

Professional upholstery cleaning isn't that expensive and will go a long way towards extending the life of your sofa. I paid about $150 to have my sectional cleaned (2 7'-long sofas) and it was well worth it.

Austin can be an expensive place to stay...especially in the trendy SoCo or Travis Heights area.

Pacific Pillows (http://www.pacificpillows.com/) claims to supply bedding to most of the major hotel chains.

I fell in love with the pillows at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta and ordered them from this site. The prices are pretty good.

Twombly fans in or visiting Houston should definitely make tracks to the Cy Twombly Gallery at the Menil Collection.

Why do you find these to be "heartbreaking"? That is a very strange description, IMO.

I would love some details on the artwork, specifically the red two-panel piece in the living room and the one behind the Womb chair. Artist name(s), please??
