Design Notes. This week's lead story, While You Were Out, the Post-it Went Home, explores the multiple uses of Post-its outside the office — different purposes for everyone. Doesn't that wall look familiar to one of our reader's apartments??

• Updating a House of Tomorrow. The circular home of Theodore and Susan Pound — updated from the 1957 original design by Cecil Alexander. Lots of pictures, but still hard to see...
  
  
  
• Lenny Weiner's electic Peter Cooper Village apartment:The Steamfitter’s Escape.

• That Time Again: Make Way for Tomatoes.

• Room to Improve: What kinds of rugs are good for high-traffic areas?
  
  
  
• Personal Shopper: Shade. Umbrellas, tents and screens.
