apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This table is something my dad would have built. In the late 50's he hand built a cottage and then spent his winters building furniture for it in his basement at home. All the stuff was mid century in style. My mom did all the upholstery work with her circa 1950 Singer (which I now have).

It didn't seem like a big deal at the time as all our parents where depression children and WWII vets and they brought these incredible trade skills and this ability to squeeze a dollar. What a different time: No air conditioning, very seldom did we eat out and dad never called in a repairman. When the car rusted he would use filler on it and paint it himself. We didn't have much money but in hindsight we where rich.

I still don't see how these "slingks" are "surreptitious".

Because the sites don't necessarily give AT permission to link to them.

Does the NYT give AT permission to reproduce all of their photos and slide shows? They probably pay their staff and freelance contributors for the content and it's copyrighted. It's weird seeing it all reproduced here. Does AT pay the NYT or is all of that "surreptitious" as well? I think the links to Amazon where AT gets a cut of the sale is actually sneakier.

mrgreen - the use of the word 'surreptitious' doesn't mean a thing, other than being cute. Of course it's okay to link to the NYT!!!! This site drives a ton of traffic to their site, where they then gain more readers and make more money. It's called 'link love'.
If you run a blog, and you steal content and claim it as your own - that's what will get you in trouble.
Obviously you haven't been reading this blog or others for very long, but I can assure you everything here is on the up and up. So don't worry about it, and instead enjoy the blog (and mine, too! :) )
