One of the biggest complaints, and hardest things to change, about a rental kitchen is the floor. When you own a kitchen you can put down new tile or wood floors — but even then you may not wa...
We're loving this Eat At Home dishtowel! It's been appearing here and there in shops around the web, and we like its vintage forthrightness. It should be right there with the "Wash the Dishes" towel o...

Last week, Faith asked where you hang your kitchen towels. The answers ranged from "over the edge of the sink" to "on the oven handle," typical places I've hung my towels, too. But inspired by the pos...
One of our favorite online shops is Toast, an apparel and home goods shop in the UK. International shipping is a doozy, so we look and don't buy, for now, but we do find their kitchen things very insp...
