If you're only going to tackle one task for Project Month, make it the addition (or improvement) of a landing strip. 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...

An organized pantry is a great benefit, whether it's shelving, a cabinet, a closet, or an entire room. It makes cooking easier, helps keep track of foods on hand, and well, it just looks nice. A few helpful items — jars, labels, baskets, and smart stacking — all help keep things nice and tidy. These awesome pantries have more great ideas and inspiration. More

I'm a sewer, which doesn't quite mesh with my small space living. One project and it looks like a fabric-and-pin hurricane swept through my living room. So of course I'm envious of those who have a whole room dedicated to arts and crafts: ceiling-high organized shelves, vintage armoires filled with supplies, and enormous tables to lay out fabric — these are the things that make me swoon. But while browsing for inspiration to turn part of my living into a serious craft space, I found elements from big spaces that I could incorporate in my small space. More

A clean, organized, and well-lit home work space is a must. And what better time to tackle this issue in your home than the fresh start of a new year! Many of us don't have the luxury of a separate home office or studio, but that doesn't mean we can't create a healthy environment for working at home. Even if you don't work from home, carving out a space for productivity is important and a smart way focus on specific tasks without distraction. More

Q: Hi there — we have a DC rowhouse with a corner-located fireplace (not uncommon in houses of this vintage) and are trying to figure out how best to design the living room. The sofa placement is especially problematic, so I'm ooking for ideas. The room is 13 x 16 with a bay. More

Before they were designers, and before they created their own design studio in 2006, John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong Ardt were doing other things. John, a Wisconsin native, was a potter, sculptor, and cabinet maker. Wonhee, originally from Seoul, Korea, was also a sculptor. Realizing they were designers as well, they founded StudioGorm in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and have since relocated to Eugene, Oregon. Crafting and constructing in their workshop, the duo produce smart, comfortable designs -- the kinds of things you develop a familiarity and intimacy with. For us, they've crafted this week's Playlist, giving us a chance to explore their work's musical accompaniment and the space they work in...
