I spent many hours on airplanes last Thursday, so for once I had plenty of time to peruse the New York Times Home and Garden section. I fell in love with this bold red and blue penthouse kitchen (link): Did you know that researchers have found that the color red can make people’s work more ...
Whew, it’s a little cooler here today. Sad, really, that our first really hot spell of the summer chose to coincide exactly with “back-to-school” time.
