I am sure Mike Pace and his crew (Santo, Brandon, and Lawrence) are rolling their eyes at this title if they are reading this. This past week I happened upon them as they were taking down a tree in Brooklyn Heights.
Although I knew the city provided this street maintenance, it was my first time to see it in action. Mike took a moment to tell us about what they do...
A quick, informal poll among my friends resulted in most thinking pineapples grow from trees. Pineapples do grow from the ground, like a flower, and in fact have stems. And so these 'baby pineapples' were truly fascinating when they appeared at the florist. Feeling the end of summer drawing near I decided to take some home to savor a bit of the tropics.

It's no secret that we here at Apartment Therapy are big fans of SF-based artist Rex Ray. His colorful, biomorphic work is captivating and, we've always found, inspiring. It seems we're not the only ones who glean inspiration from his work, as this apartment attests to.
Everyone we know has one. For some it's a maid who does laundry. For others, it's a weekly floral delivery or takeout every night. One friend has a candle habit; another indulges in a nightly bubble bath. For another, it's a refrigerator full of tasty tidbits, ready to whip out for guests at a moments notice. Our personal indulgence?
Through November 1, 2008, Minnesota-based weeHouse is selling their solar-powered SMALL prefab homes (350 square feet) for $99,000 ($109,000 for states west of Colorado). The house comes with an "off-grid solar package" made by Fusion Modular. Click below for details...
Our current stairway in dire need of some love.
There's nothing like your boss telling you he'll be re-visiting in a few weeks to work from your place to get you motivated to do a few touch-ups to the apartment. Well, more than a touch-up...a pretty involved 2-3 weekend project considering our goal is to rip out the unattractive rubber non-slip padding in our stairway, replace it with some FLOR carpet tiles, and repaint the whole stair hallway...
If you're in the Bay Area, you know it's hot out. Too hot. We've been complaining about the heat all week (we so love it, though). We've already told you how to beat the heat, but if that's not working... try looking at these photos. They made us think of (a cooler) Spring, our favorite season.
Since 2000, two Chicago-based sisters have run a business all about vintage and antique shopping called Come Flea With Me. They put together day trips to area antique shows and flea markets, filling up a bus with shoppers and providing them with coffee, muffins, shopping totes and other treats along with transportation to and from the market and the camaraderie of fellow flea fans...
We found these Desk Dot ceramic magnets while searching the web for must-have office products. While these magnets aren't a necessity we like their simple design and their strong capacity for holding your stuff. More details after the jump.
People don't often find themselves looking for mailboxes. However, we recently did. And guess what? There aren't a lot of options out there, which is a bummer. So, imagine our delight when we found this beauty from Semigood. It's gorgeous.
If you've been on the hunt for the most luxurious, most futuristic dog bowls out there, we've found them. Functional and goodlooking, they're bound to be the perfect addition to your modern home. And if you're an Austin resident you get the added bonus of buying local! More after the jump...
Once a mercantile store for those heading west, this store retained in it's original location (as well as name) and anchors the downtown area of Independence, Mo. Selling specialty groceries and cookware, it's a great spot to spend an afternoon browsing...
When it comes to open space living, the advice we keep hearing is to designate areas by using all the methods known to man (and woman). This would be, but not limited to: colors, rugs, curtains, screens, and tables...But for those of us who like to keep our spaces streamlined in all ways, here's an interesting example of restricting the color palette while still keeping everything in its rightful areas with the proper balance of black and white.

Wednesday's Chronicle featured an article on shoe designer Anyi Lu's Tiburon home. What was most important to Lu? Not just shoe storage (which, incidentally, appears to be a common theme today -- see
