sylph's Profile

i lived in a bakery turned studio and the previous tenant had done precisely this.
the studio had very high ceilings and the loft was built against the interior wall so it obstructed no views. it also gave the space a sense of division and the loft was large enough for a queen size bed and a small nightstand.
there were other studios in this bakery with the same floor plan that had no loft built and i can say that i really lucked out. i don't know that it would have occurred to me then that such a thing could be done.

ok, $175.00 flat sheet. but still.

this is divine. i am absolutely in love!

agree with Clai.

its true you should pour the coffee out once done brewing, but the cozy is good to keep the heat in while brewing, no? i wrap my bodum in a towel to keep heat from escaping during brew time.

"I'm not sure how these are anymore "wasteful" than any other piece of art in the world.."

--i totally agree with this. what is wasteful? that its drinkable coffee? that they are usable forks? it's creative, it's art. are childrens' macaroni pictures 'wasteful' and 'ridiculous'? i use potatoes to carve out shapes and use as stamps with my son. is that, too, an empty endeavor?

i'm another for mrs. meyers dish soap.
also, i stopped using laundry softener and switched to white vinegar in the rinse cycle. it works brilliantly, even very hard water.

oy.

house tour please.

'A director of a non-profit need to respect her place more.' and 'The best way to assert your freedom is to make your place beautiful. Then please show us the after pictures.'

upon what basis did you make the assumption that she DOESN'T respect her place? there is nary a dirty sock laying about the floor, or dirty dishes in the sink or grime on the walls. if you don't care for the raw, funky and unusual (to AT) asthetic shown in this home, fair enough, to each his own. but to make a statement proclaiming that she needs to respect her home more seems pompous and unfair. she posted her home for all to see. to me, this shows pride and joy. not 'help me sort out my life'.

further, the best way to assert your freedom is to make your place beautiful? i have to respectfully disagree. the best way to assert your freedom is to do as you very well please.
