I do something similar to Miss Neesh. I peel only the part I need from the thin end and store the rest in a zip lock bag in the fridge. The next day the exposed edge is brown, so I thinly slice it off and toss the brown part. I use avocado on sandwiches and have had them last for a week this way.

Myself, my husband and our two children live in 1300 square feet. I agree that the lay out is what really matters. My husband works from home full time and we have frequent overnight guests, another bedroom instead of a family room would make the function of our home so much better. We are just fine in this size home, but crowded when company comes for long visits.

I once again have no dryer (3rd time). Sheets are the hardest to dry, due to their size. Towels are crunchy, but you can get used to that. Our biggest issue is our laundry freezes if outside during winter, and when your wet clothes freeze they literally will break (done it!). So we have to hang dry all in our little house. It's doable, but hard if you like to have company over.

I have no idea - but I still had to tell you that I think your tables are fabulous. While I love mid century modern (and decorate that way myself) it seems that homes are all starting to look alike with chair and table choices. Your tables are very unique and I'm sure they give your room a personal spin. Love them, and the diamond pattern on your floors.

I would cut off those little fan looking things in the corners of the desk and paint both pieces black. Then some teal glass knobs. Maybe even some teal tissue paper or craft paper behind that cool scrolly thing on the top of the desk to make it pop.
I have a hutch my grandfather made for me 17 years ago that I sanded and painted black. Best decision I have ever made for my home.
