How long do you think it takes for you to move from one home to another? Not including a long drive, the organizing, wrapping, packing, cleaning, touching up paint, renting/returning a truck, loading/unloading the truck, unpacking, and rearranging can add up to many hours of heavy labor. How much would you pay for a service that did it all in one day, including cleaning each item before packing it? More

After 35 years in a tiny tenement apartment in the heart of the East Village, it was time for a change. What we wanted now was something bright, open, simple and peaceful, with easy access to Manhattan. A 650 square foot studio apartment in Sunnyside, Queens fit the bill perfectly.

The importance of an organized entryway, or landing strip, is one of our most-repeated tenets here at Apartment Therapy. They help keep your home clutter-free and your life running smoothly, and what's more important than that? If you're only going to tackle one task for Project Month, make it the addition (or improvement) of a landing strip. More

My mother-in-law just stayed with us for the first time since we bought our house two years ago. The last time she came to see us, my man and I were a new-ish couple who'd just moved to Seattle together and were shacked up in a cramped rental. So when she decided to visit for the weekend with my husband's brother in tow, I went into home-improvement overdrive. More

I was chatting with an interior designer friend recently and she told me that half the time she feels like a therapist as she tries to accommodate both partners in a design. I've been hearing this a lot lately: a girlfriend whose husband thought the tufted headboard she was eyeing was too girly; another who was grateful she got a pink bedroom out of her system before her engagement; a crafty art collection didn't make the cut when moving in with a partner...

We are working hard to revamp our house in order to prep it for sale later this year. Which means, at the moment, my dining room is actually in my living room while we redo the floors. I'm sitting on my sofa staring at dining chairs, extra toys, shelving, and a ton of craft supplies scattered willy nilly. I need some organization inspiration! More

One of the first things I did when I moved into my home was turn a dead-end hallway into a hallway linen closet. My home has no other storage, and for my family this was a huge upgrade — one of the best renovation decisions we've made. Now it's completely packed with towels, sheets, pillows and toiletries, so keeping it organized is a must for maximizing storage space. Here are some wonderfully organized linen closets we use for inspiration. More

Lately I've been on a bit of a kick with all things vintage. I love odd little pieces with a serious sense of history but sometimes I have trouble reimagining them for my home. More

No space for a home office? No problem — use your door! Over-the-door pockets and baskets provide much needed space for documents, mail and office supplies. Combining two over-the-door organizers work even better for versatility and more storage. More
