While it is indeed a celebration of the evolution of a dress, it is also a tribute to the designer herself, with paintings and photographs of her distinctive beauty and glamorous life.

'If you live in a condo and want a new design for your kitchen, it’s natural to feel limited by the size. But small kitchens can be just as beautiful as large ones!

Cold Comfort

'At one time or another, I''m guessing that we have all spent Valentine''s Day in the company of everyone''s soulmates in solitude, Ben and Jerry. So why shouldn''t we leave a bouquet of roses at their domicile, the refrigerator/freezer? Frigidaire thought it was a fine idea in 1964. Today, we might consider extending our appliance-appreciation practice to the microwave, as well—offering a posy for the electronic enabler of Orville Redenbacher, perhaps?

A Comrade's Kitchen

'This kitchen in St. Petersburg is going for the gold in more ways than one. Antiques dealer Sergei Bobonikov has outfitted the room with an absorbing assortment of Soviet-era castoffs, many culled from railroad stations.
