Britomart's Profile

The first year in our house all our money went into "invisibles" - water-saving toilet, insulation in the walls, new heat pump, etc. I would have rather bought furniture, but we reap the benefits of efficiency every day.

Two pots or fewer.

Some nice ideas here, but offputting, for sure. I didn't need to see the pair of shoes or the turned around books. Was fun to see the iMac (I have the same one), though that's also completely impractical - its hard drive can't do sh** anymore.

I guess I'd just rather read the newspaper with those ten minutes.

I spy a killer hat.

Fun tour!

I cut a hold in the center of the creased end and use them as garment bags to protect my blazers.

I like this! But I doubt it's less than 800 square feet - my house is 2 bedroom, 1 bath at 760 and there's no room for a dining table.

I actually love it. I don't think I'd mind the privacy, but I probably wouldn't turn the lights on at night.

My husband and I are doing 1 1/2 shares this year, because we regularly polish off a box in two days (we're vegetarians at home, which I think helps). This will be our seventh year of participating in a CSA. For me, it works best to follow recipes in winter. During the summer, I just make sure I have staples on hand (pine nuts for pesto, beans, an interesting cheese, olive oil, etc.) and on any given night improvise with whatever vegetables look like they're on their way out.

Also, I find that a crisp glass of wine can make even two beets and lettuce (again) feel like a feast!

I wish I had a better sense of the place from the photos. I can't seem to get my head around the bathroom entry or the sofa placement.
