How do these work? Do they stand, hang, are they adhered to the wall? They don't look fun to clean!

Dear DrMcFacekick,

Best name ever.

This position is NOT good for your spine. Please, don't do it. Don't do your work on the couch either. You will assume the same "slouch" position. Sit in an upright position on a supportive seat and at a surface that puts your computer at eye level. The concept of going "deskless" may sound great for small spaces, but habitually slouching on soft surfaces weakens the muscles and ligaments that support your spine. I live in a small studio with no desk. I sit on a cushion on the floor, with my back against the couch for support (it props me up all the way to the neck). My coffee table puts the computer almost at eye level and I can rest my elbows on it without feeling like my shoulders are shrugging.

Of course, once in a while you will have a situation like the blogger did, but for the most part you should protect your spine. Once a ligament is overstretched, there's no reversing it. It will stop sending signals to your brain that it isn't supporting you. That slump posture you have when you work will be how you walk around, too. This can lead to chronic pain, surgery, you get the picture. Your spine does so much for you, treat it right!

The preceding was a public service announcement from a dancer who believes in healthy bodies.

That child is clearly the next Cy Twombly.

There's also an interview in last month's Vogue with Lee Radziwill (niece and cousin to the Edies) about the film.

Eddie P, I don't think it's Robert Picardo of Star Trek. Imdb says that he has two daughters, no sons.

I especially love the translucent appearance of the colors and materials in this kitchen. I know hiding a half-size fridge works for the design of this space, but I wonder whether or not it is actually functional for this family.

Kudos to FJ!! for total representation.

Did they expand? The before picture looks drastically smaller than the shot of the after from the master bedroom, which makes the space look huge. I would've liked there to have been a blurb detailing the renovation.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think Heywood-Wakefield made queen size beds in the 40s/50s.

This is a great example of quirky-chic.
