Not everyone has enough room for two big, comfy armchairs, but most of us have enough room for at least one. The ones listed here are favorites for different reasons, but I won't hide the fact that...
You may find this crazy, but Sara and I were just on vacation last week and I fell in love with these plastic beach cups. After you've drunk beer, rum & cokes and other things all day long in one o...
I had the honor of being a part of the panel judging furniture this year in ID Magazine's Annual Design Review. I am happy to say that two out of the top three prizes were with my consent. The mag...
Okay, here's a layup: my favorite three Wegner side chairs and a radical tip - TRY MIXING THEM UP (no one ever does that). The idea comes from the picture above, which I saw on the Bulthaup website...
Smith & Hawken One of the sweetest joys of my summer is spreading out under a market umbrella on Sunday with the paper, coffee and muffin. Not only does an market umbrella keep off the sun, but it a...
In our new apartment we've only recently begun to use a new feature, one that we'd never encountered before, a Mr. Slim split-ductless AC system. Not totally attractive at first because these bulbo...
Today I'm going to experiment with cutting to the chase. The list below represent everything I've learned over the past 7 years about where to get beautiful outdoor lanterns. These DO take mainten...
We love windows in the bathroom but, in old apartments, they usually end up in the shower. Our new apartment's shower has a lovely view of our neighbor's outdoor deck and, although we love the natur...
We were turned on to the subject of fountains on our trip out here to California (the fountain above is in Sara Kate's mothers yard. It's from Jackalope). It's just starting to get warm on the East ...
I hate clutter and dirtiness (the natural enemies of good design), and strive with Spring Cleaning not just to clean out, but also to reestablish any of our home made systems that have fallen on hard ...
We have coveted Miele products ever since working for a fabulous but O.C.D. inflicted Interior Designer who insisted that each day begin and end with a good vacuum. She swore by the Miele brand, and w...
All of these are from reader's comments and has grown by over 40 comments to deepen the list. Some of these are toxic and some are not. We recommend non-toxic, but realize that some folks will debat...
All of these tips are from reader's comments on this great thread. 10 readers giving their tops picks along with over 50 comments that deepen the list. This is a good companion to our Strong Househo...
I generally don't like Pottery Barn. Even though taking a tour through the store at Christmas Time HAS to be done, just for the over-the-top festive spirit that their retailing elves are so good at ...
I first saw the Teema collection at OK in Los Angeles over three years ago (below) and it was the mugs that caught my eye. I just wanted them immediately. There is something about mugs that can do th...
We first started focusing on small sofas in 2004, when my brother was looking for one and having a really hard time. Since then the market has changed and manufacturers have become a lot more savvy a...
I am not a huge fan of underbed storage and generally believe that allowing the space underneath where you sleep to breathe and be free of clutter is a good thing, BUT necessity sometimes dictates us...
April 10, 2008 Go beyond corkboard and pins. Here's a great tip that I found when I visited the super cool advertising firm upstairs in our building here on Crosby Street. They used one ...
This is a really fun category that we've been collecting data on for years now. More and more we are seeing people go small and compact in order to open their space up and increase the efficiency o...
April 3, 2008 I don't crow about glassware too often. I'm prone to using the same old classic designs, look for tried and true and amskeptical of anything claiming to be a new inven...
March 31, 2008 City hallways tend to be narrow, small or non existent, but some kind of "landing strip" is essential if you are going to keep your apartment from getting overwh...
March 28, 2008 We've had many occasions to buy telephones for clients as well as for ourselves and have always been disappointed in the choices. After you spend so much time and money on...
We've blogged our 5 Best Bathroom Scales for Minimalists, good high tech scales at Unplggd, and awhile back we looked at the Bathroom Scale by Stefano Giovannoni for Alessi. While we like its slim a...
Another thing we love is our new George Taylor shower head. Large, flat, adjustable and with metal tips that don't corrode, it allows our (rather minimal) hot water to flow down like rain, whether it ...
Visiting the parents a few weeks ago in Florida, we had the pleasure of using a retractable clothesline in our bathroom (see pic above). Simple in design and able to disappear in a jiffy, we though...
