Of course I love all of our Apartment Therapy videos, but the ones from our 'Favorite Things' series are some of my, er, favorites. These videos take a look at the things we treasure and the stories behind them. Though they're ostensibly about stuff, the videos are so funny and personal — they're an exploration of the things we keep in our homes, our relationships to them, and why we love them.

What I Love About My Small Home:

I love the big windows that allow a lot of natural light to enter my small space. Even though my apartment is tiny, it allows me to have a nice view of the canal and house boats. I dont feel that I live in a small space. There are six big windows in my 2 floor apartment.

What I Love About My Small Home:

I love the original bungalow character of my home. Simple things like the old hex tile on the bathroom floor, wooden medicine cabinet, chunky baseboards, wooden windows, Chambers stove and solid oak front door give this house an established, yet unassuming feel.

What I Love About My Small Home:

My cozy bungalow is classic 1930s California, and filled with mid-century flea market finds and family treasures. In the mix are wood Danish chests, a vintage Gucci coffee table, a West Elm couch, and a really cool 1950s "space clock" that was my dad's. Set in the Silver Lake Hills, my little home has a gorgeous western view from the kitchen, and late afternoon is what I call the "golden hour," when sun floods the kitchen and living room, perfect for a bottle of rosé or some fresh blood oranges from the garden.

It's the start of the first three day weekend of the summer, so in keeping with (and expanding upon!) recent Apartment Therapy tradition, we put together a big list of DIY projects to consider for the days ahead. From crafting to cleaning, renovating to relaxing, there is an idea here for everyone - 100 to be exact!

Danielle Moss leads a hectic life. As a co-founder of The Everygirl, a popular website dedicated to career-driven women, the owner of her own graphic design and photography business, and the writer behind the blog Breakfast at Toast, it's a wonder that she has time to think about interior design at all. But in just a little under a year she has managed to convert a humdrum beige apartment into an inspirational, light, and glamorous haven.

There must be something in the water this days, and that something is copper. Clever folks everywhere are coming up with great ways to use pipe, tape, paint, and sheet metal to create modern, beautiful projects for the home. Get thee to the hardware store if you want to try them out yourself...

Six years ago, Gavin Froome set out with friend Mike Bernard to explore the Pacific Northwest coastline — and its legacy of modernist architecture. The result is “Coast Modern,” an independent documentary that’s been featured in festivals across the globe and is about to show again on June 4 at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Between touring for the film and his work as a freelance art director and music producer, he showed us around his bright, clean-lined Vancouver studio.
