Are there any plans to expand the cities that Apartment Therapy covers?
Maybe you could introduce a monthly feature that covers the local trends, artists and designers from a variety of cities and towns across America.

Any chance of approaching Florida? :)

Still waiting for the Montreal post to open up. We are swimming in gorgeous (not to mention affordable) homes here! Plus a ton of amazing indie shops, interior designers and gem-filled flea markets.

What happened to the occasional post about Austin, TX that used to come through the Los Angeles section?? Austin is full of wild, hipster designs and creative experiments! Just check out the Cathedral of Junk http://plainview.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/austin-cathedral-of-junk.jpg

Whoever applies, I sincerely hope that their "blog-style writing skills" include a rudimentary knowledge of spelling, grammar and punctuation. That would be refreshing.

Well, i love this page but sincerely did anyone thought about open up to foreing countries? A blogger from Scandinavia, France, Italy, India, Morrocco, Spain ( i must confess i am spanish), maybe Japan could add a little fresh air to AT. Anyway, i love AT. I beg your pardon mirandabee if my english it is not as good as i'd like.

Far-flung foreign AT bloggers would indeed provide a breath of fresh air and certainly would add perspective. Great idea, Ninasneu (and BTW, your English is far, far superior to my Spanish)! :-)

i've emailed a couple of times inquiring about Florida representation to no avail. i think we have a good mix of foreign design influences plus -- depending on where you are -- mid century art deco rumblings and quirky beachside towns...
