I'd say change the floor and backsplash. The cabinets are very restrained—almost Shaker-style—and could work in a modern interior. But the wood floor is just too much matching wood for the space and the backsplash is just "meh". Consider tiling the big white wall over the counter with the same tile you'll use on the backsplash to really tie the room together. (There, I said it.)

You should paint the brick. Make sure you choose paint that can withstand heat as well, or it will peel. You can paint the stove or use a product specifically to blacken stoves. Lose the brass. Use the stove for a winter to see if it satisfies you. It looks to me like an older stove that is probably not that efficient. Make sure the gaskets are in good shape or replace them. If you don't like it's performance consider replacing the stove with a newer epa certified stove. We have this (which we got used for under $1000) http://www.jotul.com/en-us/wwwjotulus/Main-menu/Products/Wood/Wood-stoves/Jotul-F-3-CB/ It is similar in size to your current stove, is EPA certified & easily heats our 900 sf house. Also check out the Shaker stove by Antonio Citterio or a super modern Rais or Wittus. Apartment Therapy New York \| Making This Wood-Burning Stove More Attractive?

they do look like they need more light; also let them dry out more between watering & now that they are getting the sun they need, pinch them back to encourage them to bush out (harvest a few of the leaves & toss in a salad), they will perk up but it will take a few weeks; don't fertilize or you will get more green & no flowers Apartment Therapy Re-Nest \| Look!

Um, if I received one of these gift cakes, there is no way it would sit on a shelf for 6 months. Why not give out the cakes and tell your friends to eat them right away? It's still a thoughtful gift.

How about editing the title of this post so this "garbage truck" nonsense isn't perpetuated? Quality posts will keep readers coming back. Crap like this, plus the endless "Hot Posts," "Most Popular Posts" and contest updates are on the verge of taking AT out of my daily rotation. Editors, where are you?

Has anyone seen this in person? We looked at a similar one and although I really wanted it, we decided not to buy it as it seemed somewhat flimsy. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Ironing Ladder from Tiny Living Flag this comment	8/22/08 10:22 AM

I recommend SimpleFit. A chin-up bar and a stopwatch are all you need. I started with SF, because it is simple and can be done at home. I needed to get back into shape and SF let me do it without paying for a gym, or figuring out some new activity to take on. Interested? Read the introduction on the site "How To Get Started" Day 1: do as many sets as possible in 20 minutes. Day 2: you should focus on perfect form, doing 5 sets, and take a 3 minute break between sets, but do not include the breaks in your time. Day 3: is called 'judgment' and the goal is to complete the prescribed exercises as quickly as possible. If your time is less than 5 minutes, you move up to the next level. It isn't a life-long program, because I think it would get boring eventually, but it is a great program for those who just need to get off the couch! Once you're in better shape, you can step up or over to another activity. Also, the fact that every Day 3 is a test of sorts is very motivating. After 17 weeks I am still very into it. The site includes a forum for advice and support as well as a logging tool. My progress. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| LA Good Questions: Working Out at Home on a Budget?
