Kitchen Counters and Stools
Looks like it's shaping up to be an industrial chic day on AT:Chicago. We've been looking at kitchen sets, and lately we're dreaming of a counter with stools to help create a little more workspace in our kitchen. We were excited to see Janel's picks from Costco, and we went searching for a few more counter/stool combos.
Top: Emeco's stools are made from 80 percent recycled aluminum, and they're available at many modern retailers for about $300 - $800 each. If money were no object, we'd outfit a kitchen counter with 4 of these in a second. For the counter, the stainless steel work table Janel blogged earlier would work. Image via All Modern Baby.
The Marais Stool is just right for the French cafe look. They're $280 each at Design Within Reach and right now the gunmetal gray is on sale for $220.
We really like the look Maxwell got in his home with the Lyon Industrial Stool (only $65) and IKEA butcher block counter.
Emily and Craig picked up their counter stools from Aldi (the grocery store) and painted them white. High and low is always cool.
This IKEA kitchen gave us lots of ideas, like using a countertop table with an island of storage underneath.
• For more stool options, check out AT:NY's Best Stools for the Home post.
• For sources for industrial restaurant supply in Chicago, check out this post.

My fav bar/coffee stool are the ones at Intelligensia in Silver Lake, CA. They have no back part and are square and bright blue (matches the tile perfectly). Anyone know where those come from (and the metal water container they have?)
My favorite stools were purchased at Crate and Barrel. They have two sizes and the seats swivel. They are pictured here in my studio. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/fall-colors-2007-west/11-dmstudios-private-sanctuary-034204
dmstudio, not only do I like those stools very much, I enjoyed seeing your other pics. I am now poking around online looking for Hawaiian quilts. I've never been there, and was completely unaware that there were quilts specific to Hawaii before I saw the photo of your bed.
Check http://www.rainbowhawaii.com/hawquilbedco.html
Also, if you are interested, AT San Francisco posted a full house tour of my apartment here http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/house-tours/sf-house-tour-daniels-collection-of-travel-and-art-042050. There is another example of a Hawaiian quilt in the picture of my guest room.
Good luck finding a Hawaiian quilt you love. I think they are fantastic.
Hey Emily and Craig...
Nice hair!

As long as Ghostcrawler doesn't leave, I'm happy. That guy is awesome.
AxisOfJustice said...
How am I more "spineless" than you or anyone else here, Eversor? We are all behind our monitors rather we disagree or agree with GC. So just because I have a different opinion than GC means I am somehow "spineless" and you're not? F off.
AxisOfJustice said...
No. I do not believe he is what "everything that is wrong in the game". However, I believe that he doesn't play his own game when he makes statements such as "people wear Naxx gear because it's easy to get, not because it's better than pvp gear", which makes him a clueless moron (notice how a huge chunk of dps classes in 2000+ arena ratings are wearing a mix of pve gear?).
So you want to claim that Naxx gear is not accessible, and, say, ret pallies would not benefit from it far more than from the honor bought blues to start up arena? Sure, for other classes/specs with far less survavibility tools there is no such option to wear PvE gear and win, but that does not nullify the fact that Naxx gear really is the best a beginner in the arena can get. Honor blues, really? For the time invested to get them, they completely suck, if you do not farm arena.
Burst is FotM this season. I'd like you to add one with one and think why. Yes, it is the same reason why you claim GC is a clueless moron. So maybe one of the lead developers isn't as big of a moron as some of the clearly bright talents in WoW playerbase are? Oh no wait, I forgot, the playerbase knows what is best, they all are experienced MMO devs.
RogueJedi86 said...
Guys, calm down. I just meant I love how Ghostcrawler tells us about upcoming changes and exactly why the changes happened. That's why everyone loved Ghostcrawler at BlizzCon'08 and love him now, it's his openness to the player base. It makes us feel like we're involved in the development process.
AxisOfJustice said...
If you think that the devs have never made any mistakes regarding class balance and especially in pvp, then I think that is quit laughable.
I'm going to end the conversation here; and in the meanwhile chuckle to myself as you continue to call people names such as "spinless" without knowing what it really means, the fact that you continue to use it out of context, and the fact that you do not realize the irony and the hypocrisy of you calling others "spineless" while in the comfort of your room, hiding behind a monitor and a keyboard. Enjoy your day.
I'd like you to point out exactly where I said that the current PvP balance was flawless. But obviously you are quite sensitive in this matter, so I take you like to throw out criticisms pointed at devs quite often.
As for hiding behind the keyboard and hypocrisy, funny that someone sitting behind one as well suddenly thinks he has a morale highground and now can preach me on how to behave in the Internets. I have seen plenty of "FU GC" whines. They are made by people with little to no comprehension about development process whatsoever, they saintly believe that exactly GC is to blame about every thing going on wrong in the game, and they think that he is supposed to answer every of their retarded threads (which he does in his free time), they are hardly ever made by those who really put in effort in the game and rather work to improve than sit all day in the forums, tapping the buttons into endless walls of text, so yes, I believe that the adjective "spineless" fits in nicely.
RogueJedi86, sorry for derailing your comment and filling your e-mail box with this nonsense.

Permalink Mighty No. 21075 ガメレオ Sat, 2014-07-19 12:48.
Hello Mighties!
We interrupt our regularly-scheduled Mighty updates to give you some breaking news and an extra special announcement!
Those of you that kept your eyes and ears glued to Anime Expo today should be in the know, but we had something so exciting to tell you that it couldn't wait until next week!.
Our main man Keiji Inafune has something big he wants to share with you all, so I'll let the him do the talking:
You heard it right: Keiji Inafune and the Mighty No. 9 team is pleased to open up a new funding campaign for the project via PayPal!
Take your time, let it sink in…. we'll wait. :)
Now I'm sure we've got your gears turning trying to piece together what the new funding campaign means for the existing Kickstarter project, among other things. We have a FAQ here ready to tackle what we considered the main concerns, but even so let's start things off here in the update.
We formed this plan as a result of all of the slacker backers that contacted us after the Kickstarter campaign looking to contribute. But let's make this crystal clear: this new funding campaign is for bonus content in the Mighty No. 9 video game. We are reaching out to current backers, but even more so to those who missed out on the Kickstarter campaign for a chance to put even more features in this jam-packed game. Any new funding will NOT go towards existing content in the current state of the game, but bonus content to be implemented into the title.
During the Kickstarter you guys have made our dream game possible by blowing through stretch goal after stretch goal--and with this new funding campaign we can do even more! Of course, this means new stretch goals too! Go check out the front page for our first new stretch goal: full English voice acting!
And it doesn't stop there! Thanks to our awesome friends over at Humble Bundle, we've been given the green light to open up pre-orders for the Mighty No. 9!
This is a chance for non-backers to grab the game early at a pre-launch day price! Grab extra copies for friends, family, pets, imaginary friends! You can even grab multiple copies, or get the game in a bundle with digital rewards that go towards the bonus content stretch goals!
Mighty No. 9 Digital Copy Pre-Order* (aka the "Gotta Have It"™)
This tier gets you the release build of Mighty No. 9 in all of its glory, at a pre-release day price! *note: Pre-orders do NOT go towards the bonus content stretch goal.
Mighty No. 9 Digital Copy Pre-Order + Digital Reward Bundle (aka the "Gotta Have It All"™)
This tier gets you Mighty No. 9 upon release AND a bunch of digital rewards, namely: the digital retro-style game manual, digital art book/strategy guide and the digital official soundtrack.
Mighty No. 9 Digital Copy Pre-Order + Digital Reward Bundle + Steam Early Access
(aka the "Gotta Have It All NOW"™)
This tier gets you Mighty No. 9 upon release, the digital rewards from the $50 tier, AND access to the much-coveted Steam beta for Windows!
We're exploring other backer reward options at the moment, but these are the only rewards we felt comfortable opening up to new funding. It's a tough balance to strike: keeping the backer-exclusives intact while showing the slacker backers our gratitude for their passion and willingness to contribute. We think we've struck that balance just right this time around, and we'll be doing even more as the campaign continues!
Just to reiterate, check out our FAQ for the new funding campaign for answers to questions and other important factoids!
This is quite a lot to take in, I know… but can you believe we aren't even done yet?
The hits keep on rolling here at Mighty central, with this new video from a certain company called Digital Frontier we think you're going to love!
Our words can't do it justice, so once again we ask you to take a gander at the YouTube video:
We're proud and truly humbled to present this amazing teaser video for our new project: exploring a Mighty No. 9 animated series!
The awesome men and women at Digital Frontier put this teaser together (and on their own dime!) to show the world how amazing a Mighty No. 9 animated series could be. We're grateful to have their passion and skill on our side, and we can't wait to see how this project unfolds!
Keep an eye on the Digital Frontier page for ongoing updates, and in the meantime check out our FAQ for some basic info surrounding the project!
As you can see, we've had quite a weekend over here at Team Mighty. We want to take this opportunity to thank the people at Anime Expo for helping us put this announcement together!
And just as (no, definitely MORE) importantly, thank YOU, Mighty Beckers, for your continued enthusiasm, love and support that's brought us this far! From the beginning you helped push the game to new heights, poured love into the Mighty No. 9 universe and--after the campaign concluded--showed up by the droves looking to lend your support through fan art, game ideas, development feedback and new backer requests. We wouldn't be here without you, plain and simple, and together we can push the boundaries of the Mighty No. 9 universe even further!
It's times like this we can't help but be grateful for all of you for making this dream a reality and make Mighty No. 9 the best game it can be. We only hope that you will continue to put your faith in us as we've put our faith in you.
Thanks for reading, and hope to see you on the forums come Monday morning!
Let's keep this fire burning, Mighty Beckers! (`_´)ゞ
- Dina (Mighty No. 1046), Keiji Inafune (Mighty No. 9), Humble Bundle, Digital Frontier and the Mighty No. 9 Team

On a side note I just re-watched the animated series trailer a few times. It still looks very childish just as I assumed. Then again it looked great for all ages at the same time. I hope since the animated series seems childish the difficulty of the game, and the series overall does not reflect that. The largest most exploitable source of money is children and their parents unfortunately. This is also a large always continuing revenue. I believe this is very smart on Comcepts part. Like I said before having Inafune fund the project publicly, if successful, for the first installment the revenue generated hopefully will pilot the series into being an ongoing thing for maybe even the next decade. I applaud Inafune for being a smart business man as well as a very intelligent game designer. Either way I cannot wait to see more from them in the future, and to play Mighty No.9 next year. Good luck to him and the whole Mighty No.9 team!!!

Americans ate more yogurt during the past decade than ever before, making it the top food of the 2000s, says Harry Balzer, vice president of the NPD Group, which specializes in studying what people eat.
"Yogurt would be the category or the food that has increased in our dietary habits more than any other food during the past 10 years," Balzer said in a Jan. 1 interview with National Public Radio. "It's very convenient. It's very individualized. . . . It has a health halo certainly surrounding it. It really does define what I think America wants from its food supply.
According to consumption research conducted by Dairy Council of California (DCC), families with children and adults in their 30s eat the most yogurt, with adults eating less in their older years. And there's plenty room for growth within the yogurt category, says DCC registered dietitian Andrea Garen.

Cites unpopularity among businesses, residents
By Meagan McGone
COCOA BEACH - The Cocoa Beach City Commission voted unanimously to suspend its pay-by-phone parking plan for now, citing unhappy businesses and residents, as a result of the change.
Originally, the pay-by-phone spots included 214 spaces from North First Street to South First Street along State Road A1A, and fees cost $2.50 during prime hours on weekends and holidays from Feb. 1 to Sept. 30.
Motorists were instructed to pay for parking in those spots via credit card by calling a number or downloading an application on a smart phone through a mobile parking system called ParkNOW!, but the City Commission suspended this pay-by-phone parking plan a little more than a month after it was enforced.
"I wasn't convinced of the direction we were heading in," said Cocoa Beach Commissioner Dave Netterstrom. "I walked around and spoke with perhaps 70 to 90 percent of the businesses in the downtown area, and I heard loud and clear that this pay-by-cell thing was a problem on many levels. It was not completely thought out, not implemented well, and too many changes were happening at once, with no proper input from businesses."
The city will likely revisit the issue after the November election. Commissioner Netterstrom said the Commission needs to decide what issues it is trying to solve with the pay-by-phone parking program, as well as how to move forward with a plan that involves the stakeholders, who it might affect.
"I am glad the motion passed unanimously," he said.
Commissioner Netterstrom said the city spent $7,000 to start the program, a cost that mainly covered painting curbs and adding signs.
"Although I don't know the amount, I'm sure that we did collect some parking fees during the short time that does offset the $7,000," he said.

Margaret's Beloved Clutter
Small Cool Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Margaret
- Location:
- Baltimore, MD
- Square Feet:
- 463
- Division:
- Tiny
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I actually love the dinginess of this apartment. When we lived in a newly remodeled apartment I never quite felt at home, and many of my quirkier possessions and art pieces looked out of place rather than like treasured items. I find it easier to dress up a run-down space than to force character onto a sterile one.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space
- Finding a way to curate our beloved clutter so that it feels intentional rather than chaotic. The other main challenge was just finding a layout that works for us. There are three distinct rooms in this apartment, which makes it seem larger than it is, but they are all very small spaces. We did a lot of re-arranging and furniture purging before we landed on our current layout.
- If I am the Grand Prize winner of Small Cool, the item(s) or project(s) from my home design wishlist that I'd like to spend my winnings on are:
- I would buy a proper adult bed with a frame and headboard. I've been sleeping on this mattress since my first apartment and it was cheap to begin with. Next on my list would be updating my IKEA Klippan sofa to something with a little more character. In addition to being dull, it has also become a nightmare to keep clean. We got the white couch before we adopted our shedding black dog.

I just love your fireplace but the trolley must find a new home. However I totally understand cos you have such a small kitchen. Very nice overall - ditto to your comment about sterile spaces.
This apartment is so so so cute! I love your eclectic style and color palette. It looks so homey, and you have somehow managed to make it look like an adult/sophisticated apartment while still incorporating whimsy and fun touches! Love it!
I love this space. Your write-up made me think of "For Esme--with Love and Squalor" and made me wonder what I could have done if I'd rented that dirty but charming apartment with so much inherent character. I wonder this from my white box.
Excellent use of space! I like your thoughtful comments also. I think you have edited your belongings well. And I understand the need for tweedy upholstery - we have a pale cat whose hair shows as much as black!
This place has a lot of potential - if you own it you could add built-ins esp. in the kitchen. When you get your "grown up" bed, look for one with storage - ours has been invaluable.
Lovely space! The wall colors you've chosen are very sophisticated and add a nice feeling to the place. Almost missed your doggie there on the couch! What a cutie! Thanks for letting us see your home!
Ah, Baltimore! My home town. You're place looks very cozy and inviting. I was worried there wouldn't be any entries from a city that has so many old buildings that have been changed into apartments. A lot of them are VERY TINY. But this one has some great bones.
Very sweet space. I completely get your comment about loving the "dinginess" factor, though it doesn't in fact look dingy at all. I like the curated but relaxed vibe too. So many spaces on AT, while often beautiful or striking and always fun to look at, have been designed within an inch of their lives. The result can be like looking at a specimen under glass rather than a living, breathing home. It's a tricky balance for those of us who are inclined to obsess about our spaces. You manage it well.
I think you've done a superb job with your charming little space. It makes me feel good to look at it!
Why the vignette and radiator photos but none of the den? It appears to be a significant chunk of the space.
Thanks all for looking and commenting, it really means a lot to me. When we moved in it really was a filthy mess, and I promised my boyfriend that it would be cute enough to enter this contest this year. I'm thrilled to have made good on the promise.
@ the cubby: Your Salinger comment made my day!
@ Jane Jones: I agree that I should have included photos of the den, but I couldn't get one that I was satisfied with and had waited until the last minute to photograph. I swapped that photo for the vignette, since it showcases a few of my favorite belongings. Rookie mistakes!
Nice use of space, color. The gray paint is gorgeous
I can hardly imagine this place ever having been "run down" or "dingy".
On a side note, I would really love if there were a moratorium on the word "curate" on design blogs. Just say edit, select or organize! :)

|Drinking Apparatus - A drinking apparatus from which a beverage may be consumed and an expandable device for preventing the beverage from being dispensed from the drinking apparatus to a consumer after a selectable amount of time has elapsed or has substantially elapsed. The expandable device includes a soluble composition and an expandable portion. The expandable portion protrudes from the expandable device to substantially block the dispensation of the beverage from the drinking apparatus upon the partial or full dissolution of the soluble composition by a solvent. By making the beverage available to the consumer for only a limited amount of time, the drinking apparatus reduces the possibility that the consumer, and in particular, a young child, a toddler, or an infant, will drink a spoiled beverage.
|Pulp Molded Biodegradable Remove-ably Connectable Lid - By creating a slurry of biodegradable material, forming it in a mold under a vacuum, a channel may be created in the lid which can be release-ably connected to a traditional rolled lip coffee cup, among other common liquid holding vessels but be made out of biodegradable material. The resulting lid may be elastic enough such that the lid will give to allow a complementary cup to fit into the channel to create a seal between the cup and the lids. It also will be firm enough to withstand the weight and pressure of the liquid inside the container and from pressure from consumers while using the container. The lid also may be sufficiently heat resistant to withstand desired temperatures and liquid exposure for a time long enough for a consumer to enjoy the contents of the container but also be biodegradable.
