My new summer favorite: 1 part gin (brokers) + 1 part fresh lemon juice + .5 part (ish) Lillet. over a big ice cube. garnish with thyme if you want. SO tasty. 12 Food Writers Share Their Favorite 3-Ingredient Cocktails Flag this comment	4/17/13 10:51 AM
i think it looks great as well! if you're worried about it 'matching' other pieces (like the ones in the picture), i'd say that it's better to have the darker piece rather than worrying about trying to get the two finishes to match exactly. :) Is My Two-Tone Dresser Too Dark Now?

The rust(?) stain on the front of the sink is totally freaking me out. I would go insane trying to cook in there with all that stuff, but that stove is fabulous and i want whatever that cow head is on the side of the island. towel rack perhaps?

I had this problem in a past apartment -- except with a Wii! Is there possibly a different room in the apartment that she could use the treadmill in that might not be right above your main living space? Or maybe if you guys can work out a kind of schedule where she uses the machine (over your living room presumably?) during a set hour-long window or something? That way, at least you know when to expect it and when it will end? Maybe it will be during a time when you can be browsing online/not interested in a tv show? In conclusion, that sucks and I feel your pain! good luck! (also she probably will stop using it eventually...or at least in the spring? :/ ) Neighbor's Treadmill Noise: Help !

many thanks for the suggestions!! I think what we're going to do (taking advantage of the black friday/cyber monday deals) is get a normal couch from La-Z Boy, which as several people suggested has a very low back and removable feet (and cushions FWIW). We wanted the sofa bed originally because my boyfriend just moved here to DC from the West Coast, so we're going to be having a lot of overnight guests in the near future, and with a cat an inflatable mattress didnt seem like such a good idea. But alas! We found a hopefully cat-proof air mattress, and the deal on the sofa will even out with the price of the upgrades we would have to do to the KARLSTAD. and for the record: my boyfriend wants nothing more than to hoist a couch up the side of our building and through the window, but i nixed that idea. :D [also i apparently dont know how to put enter spaces in html, so sorry for the awful paragraph!] Ideas for Getting a Sleeper Sofa into Apartment with Small Doorway Clearance?
