Time and time again we've seen doors overlooked in design projects. The worst thing to find in a beautifully finished room is the builder's original slab door. More

Q: We've just updated our mid-century apartment (removed popcorn ceilings and replaced the 1959 ubiquitous apartment parquet with 5-inch teak), and now would like to replace all the cheap interior doors with a heavier, more modern style door. The picture is of the door style that we are looking for, but would like some direction on where to find them. We might need custom, as our doors are floor to ceiling, without an area of wall above them (if that makes sense!). This seems like such a simple problem, yet I can't find a good resource. Thanks for any help offered!

We recently sat down with Alan of Alancraft for the first time since he built a small kitchen cabinet for our apartment.

Named Armor this oak sideboard from Netherlands-based designer Dave Keune was created as an almost-secret place to store valuables. More

This modern home featured on ArchDaily is in the the Netherlands was designed by Rocha Tombal Architects. Beyond the sleek interior (which we love), the unique windows were designed to take advantage of the pleasant views and create privacy from neighbors. More

I adore Josef Frank textiles and furniture but since my budget does not allow for buying furniture via Christie's Auctions, I always just figured owning one of his decoupage dressers would remain a dream. More

When I left my cozy marketing job in April to become a furniture maker, my friends and family were a wee bit baffled. And who could blame them? To me, a screwdriver was just a cheap cocktail and a joint — well, I won’t go there. But after a summer at Maine’s Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, I’m proud to share my first major piece, a mid-century style entry table. More

"Undefined (yes that's the name) is totally handmade. It was influenced by the cantilever that is daringly used in modern architecture. I wanted to be true to the material though. I didn't attempt to hide the fact veneered ply was used (you see it when you open the drawers) or that the walnut "strips" in the drawer have knot holes. I believe that all materials can be beautiful if we allow them to be..."

The Bloomframe is now in production! The concept for a window that transforms into a balcony space spread across the internet — Apartment Therapy first posted it in November of 2005! — and it is now available from Hurks. More
