Greetings from Texas...San Antonio to be exact. We're here to visit family, make our way over to Austin (if weather permits), and maybe even get a little Texan BBQ during our stay. We hope y'all are having a pleasant weekend (80 degrees here...but darn muggy) and take some time to check out a couple popular sneak peeks, one inside the IKEA summer catalog, another inside Padma Lakshmi's apartment, tips for making your bathroom your sanctuary, in-floor bathtubs, our best tiled bathrooms from house tours and one really amazing floor sized hammock, all reader favourites from the last week...

I was a little disappointed to see the red ikea chair (the one that's pictured on the sand) the other day. It's really really short. I don't know why I thought it would be bigger, but it really is very low to the ground. Too low for me. Oh well. OTOH the cute little white chairs with the green and red cushions seem like they might make their way onto my deck!

Go to Salt Lick for the BBQ!

Austin? So lucky. Go to W3LL for eco-chic beauty/interior design and Z Tejas for gorgeous food and ritas.

I still dream about the "Tacos Norteno" from Chacho's restaurant in San Antonio. That and the margaritas. I don't travel there for business anymore, but it just might be worth the flight to taste those tacos one more time!!!

LilyC: Try Rosario's or Los Barrio's next time you're in SA. Two words: PUFFY TACOS!
