Q: My boyfriend and I just moved into a one bedroom apartment we're renting in downtown Chicago. It's incredible — the owner is a DIY maven who created a custom desk and entertainment center. One place is a problem, though - the window treatments for the large window located in the living room. 

Q: I live in a small studio and have been looking for the perfect (small) dining table. When I saw this red folding one in the Freedom Room article I think I found my solution. Anyone know where this one is from? Or have a great alternative?

Q: I am moving soon into this 789 square foot apartment, and am puzzled about how to arrange my trapezoidal living/dining space. I will not have a TV, so I do not need to have a viewing wall of any sort. Any furniture arrangement suggestions to utilize this strangely angled space? I would also welcome any low-budget furniture suggestions (sofas, coffee table, dining furniture). I tend to like neutral colors and soft lines and occasional pops of color — along the lines of the "Organic Modern," "Simple Chic," and "Happy Modern" decor styles on Apartment Therapy. Thanks!!

Q: Hi - I really would like this lamp, but I will need to have it taken apart, shipped from the small store where I found it in Italy, and reassembled here in the US. And it isn't very inexpensive to start with. Has anyone seen a similar lamp available online? Thanks so much.

Q: I just moved into a new apartment with AWFUL brown carpet. I prefer clean neutrals. I have purchased a white leather sofa, and I'm trying to stick with whites, creams, gold, silver, gray, espresso and black.

Also, the ceilings are curved, so there's no break in the wall for painting. Right now they are flat stark white. I love the french windows, and the space seems very airy, so I want to keep it nice and bright, but also don't want it to look too clinical. Those horrible vertical blinds are already on the way down!:

Q: I am looking to find a new or old caged ceiling fan similar to the one in the picture. I have seen them in use but cannot find one either online or at any antique stores, etc... can you help?

Q: I'm moving in a few weeks and I'm not sure how to handle this piece of furniture.  It's a dresser similar in style to the one in this photo, and it's on the heavier end. About three flights of stairs are involved in this move (we're only relocating across town, thankfully). My instinct is to cover this bad boy in bubble wrap galore... any thoughts?

Q: My sister picked up this chair at a flea market. A sweaty shirtless guy had been sitting on it all day. When he began packing up at the end of the day, he sold it to her for around $30.
She didn't have a place for it so I took it. It's in fairly good condition. The velvet along the front edge is worn a bit and the veneer on the swivel base is lifting up in some areas. It is incredibly comfortable and after a really good cleaning, it's a keeper. 

Q: I've searched the other ugly tile posts. Please don't tell me to keep it! It's really not our style and, frankly, gives my husband a headache (although our 4 year old daughter is thrilled)! Not much to explain. The only major thing not obvious from the pics is that the bathroom is actually two rooms — one with the toilet and one with the sink and tub. The toilet room is a bit claustrophobic with the door closed. The tile in both rooms is purple and black, and hideous. It's a rental, but we have a bit of leeway to fix the apartment. We are willing to spend a little, but not too much — maybe a few hundred. Help! (And thanks.)

Q: I found a chair that is really comfortable and good looking and would like to know what it is... would love help.
