When I went to photographer Matt Albiani's apartment to do a video house tour, I was in awe of his wall of friends and photos and memorabilia. It felt like a collection that had existed forever. But he didn't get all the things he hangs on his walls at once. Nor did Thom Filicia, who keeps... Read More »

I'm splitting the one overhead light into two in the kitchen. Like any of these? Have better ideas? By all means, post a link. This first one is an aluminum alloy pendant light from a story we did on green kitchens. Then there's this one from Restoration Hardware. This one's from Target:... Read More »

Former kitchen renovating blogger Thaddeus Kromelis sent an email with cute pictures of his kid the other day. Which reminded me that he had blogged for us about renovating his kitchen. Which made me go look at his posts. Which sent me into a panic because I have no plans for a hood for my stove. Do... Read More »

I just read the most recent WIRED magazine. It says some pretty interesting things about our assumptions about what's good for the environment. Given the fact that I'm going to Palm Springs this weekend, I was relieved, for instance, to see that A/C is not nearly as bad as heating.
Anyway, apparently it's far better to buy a used car than it is to drive a new Prius. Which is no surprise to Scrappy Girl, here, whose obsession with vintage things has made her inadvertently green since she played dress up with her mom's dead-already, ermine-tail-adorned ballgown.

I once went to a full-day brunch party at a French professor's farm in Iowa. Although I'd lived in Iowa at that point for about three years, I wasn't prepared for the goat trying to attack me or the gorgeous spread of food on her dining room table. By the time my friend Nicholas and I... Read More »

Susan Serra's been raising a lot of interesting issues re: the kitchen renovation. And she did this drawing. Think you can click here to see it full size.
She said:
When I look at the picture toward the window, what I get is a long/narrow/confined feeling. What I want to feel is the room more squared off, more wide. To give that feeling, I thought of a bench, and this IKEA one has storage in it.
Then, you could get a white table, narrow...maybe only 28" wide. Like this (paint the legs white) or this one, which you don't have to paint the legs white.

I know I'm in love with Emerson of An Apple a Day right now, but I can't help it. She's my soul sister when it comes to the kitchen and these amazing terrariums.
See, the cats don't just make it impossible for me to buy a sofa, keep my apartment clean, sleep, or leave the country, they also take my breath away. Well, that's hyperbolic--but they do eat any green plants I bring into the joint, then barf them up on the floor. I've considered introducing the little buggers to cacti, but maybe a terrarium is a better idea.
