I have the Batali 6 quart dutch oven. It weighs 16 lbs empty!!! Crate & Barrel does not like to reveal that. I once wrote a positive review on their web site about the dutch oven, and happened to mention the weight. C&B took the review off their site.

And great paint!! I just painted my entire apartment using Benjamin Moore's Aura paints. Aura is INCREDIBLE paint! It made the entire job so easy and it looks amazingly professional.

I would need a giant air cushion, or trapeze net, at the bottom of the steps.

I have the white Batali and love it! I hand wash it in the sink like a baby. A 16 pound baby!!! And that's empty! It's heavy. But I'm convinced it makes everything cooked in it taste deelish. I use Bon Ami to keep it sparkling white.

OMG! I feel the same way! I want "real" furniture. I want the thrill of finding an original at an unbelievable price. So long Klippan sofa and Saarinen knock off dining room table. You're outta here!!!

I love A Pocket Full of Miracles. The transformation of Bette Davis from a "cockroach into a swan", per Peter Falk's character in the movie, is AMAZING!

Their snow globe window at Chelsea Market is hysterical. The window fills up with snow, covering the mannequins waist deep. Then the snow is somehow swept away, and the snow starts to accumulate again. I LOVE IT!

But Bergdorf's windows are great all year round! I pass them everyday on my way home from work. The team that puts them together is brilliant! They make me happy 365 days a year! This Christmas' paper window is STUNNING! And I always love the polar bears when they make a cameo appearance!
