We recently had to make the unfortunate plunge from being a one car family to becoming a two car family. While I love our Golf TDI, it just wasn’t too good at hauling plywood. With all the extra sets of keys bouncing around the house, I figured it was probably time to find [...]

Just passing on some of the email deals that I got recently. The Flor one is 50% off shipping. Not bad if you already planned on ordering from them. CB2 has some nice new stuff. Make sure you check out those chairs. Very chic and only $69. Seems like [...]

Design Public recently announced that they are now carrying some notNeutral Melamine trays. At only $18 a pop, these colorful little trays are just the thing for moving your breakfast [...]

Todd Oldham of La-Z-Boy fame has been bringing a nice modern angle to the overstuffed recliner for some time now.

It seems that there is a positive trend with city dwellers to ditch the old SUV and get out the trusty old bike. Its an idea that helps both the environment and the wallet (especially with crude oil at a record high). Well if you live in a small pad like my wife [...]
