Apartment Therapy | Saving the world, one room at a time
One of the best parts of the house tours here on Apartment Therapy is finding inspiration for our own homes. That inspiration often leads to searching around for the individual pieces to replicate the look, which can feel like an interiors scavenger hunt. We've rounded up some of the key pieces in Hannah & Brandon's "Ever Evolving" Classically Modern Reno living room to help all you design hunters get the look at home.

- The first time I saw this apartment I fell in love with the huge sash windows and their original wooden frame. The living room is south facing, and I love the bright and cozy feeling of the space.

When Ana found the listing for this 3-bedroom duplex in the New York Times, her immediate response was "it's way too good to be true." The building had been in litigation for three years and most people had been scared off.
MoreWe've featured Ana White before, like when we shared her creative instructions for building your own backyard see-saw! I stumbled across her newest project while looking for a thin console table to fit into our foyer. I love the idea of making our own furniture — now we just have to find an area that suits the building process!
Yesterday, at launches in Seattle and London, Microsoft just may have staked its claim to space in your future living room. Hoping to take on the laptop as your home-based center of connectivity to the world, they introduced their new console, the Xbox One. Below, some details on the system that aims to be an indispensable part of homelife...

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I'm in love with the windows. With 6 of them (one is 11' wide) there is a ton of natural light, and the space feels much larger than it actually is. I'm centrally located in SF and on the top of a hill. The view is great, overlooking Golden Gate park on the west side and looking up to Twin Peaks/Sutro Tower to the south. You can see all the way out to Ocean Beach on a clear day, and every night I look forward to coming home to a beautiful sunset! My 2 kitties love the windows too, and you can usually find them sitting on one of the ledges.
You can find almost anything at Brimfield, from sleek antiques to the weird and wacky. And while each field and booth is often quite different, I spotted a few trends during my two days at the famous outdoor fair.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I recently relocated from Miami to LA and made it my mission to find the perfect place to make a home. I had a list of non-negotiables that my home needed to have, so when I found this place, I knew it was the one. I fell in love with all of its unique characteristics: the floor plan, the great natural light from windows in every room, the built in vanities, and the vintage kitchen sink and cabinets. I think living in a small space requires a lifestyle change for most people, but I love the simplicity of living in a small home. I think it's important to find things that are special to you and have them on display to enjoy. I love the hunt, and have searched high and low for things that work for me and my space.
