both are really nice and have their advantages! the layout of the second is better, but the squareness and richness of the first table is better.

Quite lovely!

I suspect it looks "small" due to the shape. It appears to be narrow, long room. A room closer to square would appear larger. I don't think the decorator can do much about that. :)

I really love this recipe and would love to see more like it! I'm vegetarian and many recipes are heavy in dairy and butter to add flavor, which adds up over time. I much prefer this style of recipe that accentuates the natural deliciousness of vegetables!

If caraway and fennel would disappear forever, I would be happier. But I do prefer caraway to fennel, if you've GOT to put one in my food.

My grandmother lived in a beautiful old home with painted wood floors. I can remember seeing them in blue and red. I thought both looked great!

I have artwork over my stove, too. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, so I like having something nice to look at while I'm standing over the stove!

wait, too fibrous to eat? i always put them in my soups and have noticed no ill effects -- in fact, i think they're quite delicious!

At dinnertime, I make a cabbage/carrot/celery salad with a dash of red vinegar and a generous helping of lime. The vinegar and lime will keep it tasting good for a few days. My standard breakfast is black beans, an egg, and cabbage salad (yum)!

i love the remodel.

i once decided not to buy a home just because the kitchen looked very similar to this "before." tile countertops...rickety cabinets...awful linoleum floors...i could not handle it.

but i really love this "after", especially the choice to pull down the wall. it makes me almost wonder if we should have bought that otherwise-perfect-house!

this must depend on the kind of plant -- wouldn't that much watering kill a succulent or orchid, for example?

Wow that room is beautiful!

Although it is crying for a coat of paint and a new chandelier, to start. :)
