I put mineral oil in an oil mister and lightly spray over the appliance. Then I wipe with a microfiber cloth. It does the trick

Dark grey walls, put up your shelves, change the knobs on your cabinetry and lay a large Chilewich mat with a grey tone in it (they are a woven plastic material, easy to clean and padded for non-slip). Maybe look in the basketweave collection.

...but run them straight across, I agree with the other post. The "diamond" pattern I dislike.

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in brooklyn (my former office is now a nursery). I have an open kitchen/living room area and I turned the small pantry (shallow closet) area into an office. I can fit two large iMacs, a scanner, a printer, papers etc inside. I can easily close the doors when I want to relax or have company over.

LOVE... my new dream house.

why

Fresh Direct. Its great, convenient, they use some local farms, have a pretty good selection of organics. If you are not happy with an item they send you, their customer service is fantastic. They have refunded an item for me several times.

I'm obsessed with this yogurt. It's a little more expensive but worth it. The grapefruit flavor was not my favorite but the blueberry and acai are fantastic as is the ginger.

I buy organic and scrub the veg, unless its something like celery root which I do peel. If I am in a bind and buy non-organic from the deli, I will usually peel it. I heard all the vitamins are in the skins!
