A lot of new furniture in the last few years has been really big. It's looked as if it were created to fill the two-story great rooms popular in McMansions. There's still a market for oversize pieces, but much of what's being made now is more in keeping with the average American home.

GARDENING  

The hot, new houseplant
You've seen the stalks at the mall, inside little ceramic pots with drawings of pandas and fish and Chinese characters on them. You've seen them curling toward the ceiling like bouquets of living bedsprings at Target and Home Depot and Wal-Mart.
