"People participating in our Fall Kitchen Cure are closing in on the final days of the process. If there's one question we've seen again and again it's how to deal with those pesky plastic containers. Stacey Platt, a professional organizer here in NYC, gave me some tips to share with you." - Nurse Katie from Bookmarklet

I use Rustoleum. I get mine at the hardware store. - Admiral Anika

"Lets keep it real. The Herman Miller Setu is priced to sell at $650. It’s no Embody but in this economy throwing around over $1k for a chair is wishful. The good folks at Herman Miller sent one to try out and my bum (queue Brits laughing) and back thank you. The supportive mesh and innovative spinal support really do make the difference.Whatever you do, don’t call it a poor man’s Embody. Hit the jump for my review. So what about this spinal support system? Herman Miller calls it a Kinematic Spine. The rib cage-like design flexes as you lean forward and back. There are no adjustments. They’ve simplified the ergonomic chair into what all chairs should have done years ago when that word first started floating around – it just works. Sit down and it hugs you spine. The mesh doesn’t cut into your skin yet provides plenty of support. Ever sat in a cheap generic mesh chair? They quickly lose their form. You get what you pay for." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

"So an entire lego house is amazing. Just, amazing. But perhaps just a touch of Lego--say just a kitchen island--could be a subtle homage to the architectural toy... Who are we kidding!?! It's ridiculous and completely over the top! But we love it..." - Nurse Katie from Bookmarklet

"ANDREA SPERLING, a photographer and single mother who lives in Gramercy Park, had a thrilling epiphany this summer: her daughter, Grace, 11, had finally outgrown the toys and child-size furniture that had been clogging their living room for more than a decade." - Nurse Katie from Bookmarklet

i can identify with the neurotic client. that's definitely me, always second-guessing and forcing things off-track. :P - Joe Silence is not dead

Eric Skiff says: Sure, it’s all well and good to bring some of your college furniture and posters with you to your first apartment, but at some point you need to get rid of the futon and upgrade a bit. So, how do you show your geek colors while ditching the dorm look? 1337motif on Etsy has some beautiful geeky cutting boards, coasters, and necklaces fit the bill nicely. - Airam F. from Bookmarklet

"Who says an aquarium has to be all about fish? All over the world, planted aquarium enthusiasts practice the art of underwater gardening -- creating lush, natural-looking landscapes that live in the confines of a tank. These hobbyists communicate via the Internet, trading plants and information. They also trade pictures of their tanks. Each year the Aquatic Gardeners Assn., a group of enthusiasts 1,300 strong, holds a contest to name the best tanks in the world. Here you'll find the winning aquascapes of the past five years and get a taste of a whole new way to look at an aquarium. To read more about the art of aquascaping from California to Japan, read our story here." - Amira from Bookmarklet

I, too, LOVE having a nice bathtub. I've actually been known to bring the ole computadora next to the tub and go to town with it. I used to have a big ledge on the side which allowed me to surf and not get shocked to hell and back. It was SO damn relaxing. - Brad Williamson

"If you’re looking for an early retirement in pure tropical luxury, we suggest taking a close look at this luxury villa in Mallorca, Spain. Designed by architect Julia Palmer, this Mallorca villa is seated on a plot of land stretching 530 square meters, with a 180 degree view of the land and the sea beyond this home’s stylish patio. It’s circular-roofed design is reminiscent of the fronds of a palm tree, stretching down from a central point and providing a canopy of shelter to the room below. If you move in, we suggest a fresh look at interior decorating, as this Mallorca home is a bit cold in design at present. With a bit of love and a focus on a relaxing warmth, this luxury villa could be the best place to spend your wonder years of a long retirement." ~~~~ :-o ............

My wife and I are considering switching to salt water and need some insight on the pricing and benefits. Thanks! - Brad Williamson

As far as maintenance, I have a pool guy but have been told that maintaining saltwater pools is easier than chlorine based ones. Beyond regular pool maintenance I believe they drop a 10 lb bag of salt in bi-monthly. Also with regards to salt taste in the water, it's only about 1/10th the salidity of the ocean. - Mark Krynsky

"I love the uk’s very fabulous living etc. magazine. it’s always fresh and has very inventive and eclectic brit-pop styling ideas i never would have thought of without a little help from the glossy pages of their beautiful magazine, or helpful, handy online galleries. i am feeling the itch to redecorate (yes, yet again) and went searching for some ideas based on a background embracing a white palette (you know, my very favorite) with bright pops of color here and there. i found lots of inspiration in the pages, and oodles of pages, of  living etc.’s online galleries. here’s a peek at living etc.!" - Emma from Bookmarklet

hahaha ... I'm lulling you into a false sense of security...letting you think it's all about just the ottoman but just wait my time before taking the Barcelona chairs and couch too!! :D As for Lancaster Gate, that explains the funny looks and why they'd glued the Ghost Chairs to the floor when I went for that private viewing last week... ;p - Emma
