First thought upon seeing the Phytoslim wall planters: no way can I conceive of hanging huge graham crackers on my walls.

But then of course I read on.

On the Nature's Call Flower-Shaped Urinals: do they come in Anthurium?

That almost sounds like a P(too) question.

I on the other hand was THRILLED at the coconut grahams for walls. But I'm already on the plant team, and in love with wall mounted staghorn ferns.

This is a gorgeous solution to the destructively hungry cat/ people blessed with light . . . starting with that great white loft with the aeiral downtown floor from last week.

love the photo of your fridge page! this is something that my husband and i do at one time or another in each place that we live and extend it to our cabinets as well.

it is so much fun to look back at photos from los angeles (with tony danza's face on our milk from ralph's, eggplant cutlets from trader joe's).guaranteed lots of smiles when you look at them again down the road.

There's a photographer, Desmond Fisk, in Brooklyn that has been photographing fridges for years.
