And things have only gotten more intense lately. When I compiled my last midterm report, I easily narrowed my picks down to 25. This year, though, it was harder because there was a lot more great new barbecue to evaluate. Some of it could be found at pop-up operations. But our rules require that a place have a permanent address and regular hours. And then there are the top-tier places that have spawned second locations, such as Austin’s Micklethwait Craft Meats, which launched a satellite in Smithville, and Brenham’s Truth Barbeque, which expanded to Houston. While these places are technically new, their parent operations got plenty of accolades in our last Top 50 list. This time around, there’s so much happening in Texas barbecue that there’s no reason to repeat ourselves.
Kelley’s job, then, is to use design in ways that get customers to linger, touch, taste, scrutinize, explore. The stakes are high, but the ambitions are startlingly low. Kelley often asks clients what he calls a provocative question: Rather than trying to bring in new customers, would it solve their problems if 20 percent of customers increased their basket size by just two dollars? The answer, he says, is typically an enthusiastic yes.
With their simple, utility-first approach to design, the Danish use wood only in the doses required for a piece. Dining room tables or office desks often have thin, straight or slanted legs. Dining room chair legs can also look thin, but owners are often surprised by how long these pieces last, thanks to design, workmanship and the right materials. And comfort, even in a wood-only piece of furniture, is still a primary consideration.

Three Peaks Lodge does have a set lunch menu of salads and sandwiches, and a picnic basket can be prepared by request to accompany a walk, wine tour, or horseback ride. Also available are the BBQ Boxes, featuring all the supplies needed for guests to grill snapper, burgers, carnitas, or flat iron steak. The kit comes with pre-made grilled veggies and roasted potatoes so that guests don’t work too hard. After all, it’s a vacation.
I love Louis XVI-style dining chairs and always try to include them in design projects (not to mention stock them in my shops!). Their elegant-yet-refined silhouettes are versatile and stylish. They are understated, and their clean lines enable them to fit well in contemporary or traditional settings. These classic chairs quietly add to almost any room or design scheme, which makes them a must-buy if you’re antiquing and come across a set.
Our test boat had twin carbon wheels on unobtrusive pedestals and carried a carbon rig and deep V-boom. No single item grabs the eye but the whole boat holds your attention. It’s a powerful yacht, yet one that can be simply managed solo using well laid-out electric controls –?perfect for a greedy helmsman.
For the actual installation and assembly of the tables at Folkmoot, Plisko said the project went smoothly thanks to all of the help from his volunteers.
You make a valid point about 2nd-hand furniture. ?Most interior designers swear by the rule that you should never buy or take a 2nd-hand mattress.? Others claim that anything upoholstered (sofa, couch) is too nasty to consider getting used.? While I think it depends on the circumstances (most of my "second-hand" furniture is actually from the?"curb"?of family members), you need to stay safe from things like bed bugs and foul odors.
Since then, Kelley has worked to show grocery stores that they don’t have to worship at the altar of supply-side economics. He urges grocers to appeal instead to our humanity. Kelley asks them to think more imaginatively about their stores, using physical space to evoke nostalgia, delight our senses, and appeal to the parts of us motivated by something bigger and more generous than plain old thrift. Shopping, for him, is all about navigating our personal hopes and fears, and grocery stores will only succeed when they play to those emotions.
Josh Glaser describes the process as, “a very simple, one step process.? For example, with a post and rail, there are three holes in the joint. One hole on the post is for an insert nut, and the shaft bolt threads into the internally threaded insert nut. Then there are two holes on the rail, one for the housing and one for shaft bolt to enter. Once those are lined up, the shaft bolt goes in through the housing, you can see the countersunk hole, you drop the grub screw in, and tighten it up.”
The Nnewvante Folding Laptop Desk strives to be both a lap desk and a laptop cooling pad all in one. Using a folding breakfast tray design as its base, this lap desk incorporates a USB-powered fan into an angle-adjustable surface that is large enough to hold laptops up to 15 inches.
