I use bon ami exclusively during pregnancy-- it's so mild and does not emit even a trace of scent.

That seems like the perfect sized kitchen to me. It's really beautiful and must be a dream to work in!

I too find that when my daughter (2 and a half) cooks with me, she is way more interested in eating the product. Also, she likes to stand by me and munch on veggies dipped in soy sauce as I chop, etc. A nice way for her to enjoy her veggies. I don't care if she eats them in the actual finished meal or in the preparation-- it's all the same to me...

Tracks may elicit a 70's vibe, in some cases, but alternatives elicit distinct eras too. Recessed cans scream 90's to me, and well, meh. Our tracks are not fancy at all (from HD) but provide wonderful task lighting and allow for flexibility. Plus, they burn out with far less frequency than our cans did. Seems we were ALWAYS replacing bulbs for our cans.

I bought a beautiful old french wood cabinet at the anthropologie on 5th avenue in manhattan at 90% off! It was originally priced (ridiculously) at 1600 and they had it marked down to 160- point being, keep an eye out for sales, they can be really good...

My husband and I love Sid's-- they are flexible and deliver for super cheap. The wood-cutter downstairs is fantastic-- he cut planks of wood for a shelving unit we were constructing, odd angles and all...

Keep in mind that 'manners' are culturally subjective-- it seems like a more constructive discussion to have with our kids would highlight this-- that others may not perceive 'gracious' acts of kindness/courtesy in the same ways your family might, if that makes sense.

Also, it seems like if one is to choose to open doors etc. for others, they might do so becuase they want to, as opposed to doing so for the sort of external reassurance (via getting a 'thank you' in response, for instance).

I don't know, just a thought...

I think recessed cans are every bit as 'dated' as tracks-- they just represent different periods. Tracks offer much more flexibility and from my experience, the bulbs burn out with less frequency than those used for cans.

I went to this house on a house tour a few years ago-- it's a fascinating space-- totally not practical but conceptually interesting anyway.
