Q: I am about to remodel our bathroom and am thinking about installing a horse trough instead of a claw foot tub. Clearly the price is right when a horse trough costs $79.99 at Farm and Fleet when com...
If a day off work for Labor Day only means that you'll instead labor away on your home, we're curious what's on your to-do list. If the weather holds and you've got any outdoor space at all, we recomm...

A while ago, we wrote about using grids as a way to increase the impact of small art. We showed a few ideas from Apartment Therapy homes, which we're augmenting today with some more inspiration...
Pre digital age, I remember having an outdoor thermometer that was checked daily. Somehow its use faded over time, though it's tough to pinpoint quite when. Today, squinting at an old mercury-based ...

When the Twilight movie first came out we did a post on the decor of Edward Cullen's room, which we thought was great looking. Clearly the release of that film was just the beginning of a Robert ...

This month on Apartment Therapy we are looking at collections and even if you don't consider yourself a collector (no vinyl toys or blue & white porcelain at your house!) we bet you have a fairly...

Between the labeling of this house, the stripes and the front door paint treatment, well, we just don't know where to start......

September is here, and it feels like fall in Chicago, which means it's almost time to start adding those extra layers of bedding. In case you're shopping for fall/winter bedding, we've rounded ...

The current Chicago Home + Garden features the home of Fort Pitt Furniture owner Scott Zawitz. The modern structure in Humboldt Park is remarkable in many ways, but what jumped out at us was the ...

On Sunday we headed out of the city for what was likely our last summer hoorah...a visit to a friend's lakehouse in Bass Lake, IN. Like most lake homes/cottages, this one continues to enjoy a s...

There are so many reasons to love this little bedroom. Let's just start with that Marimekko bed canopy......
A good portion of the country has some truly amazing weather right now, most of which is perfect for hanging out in a hammock, reading a good book, or catching some shut eye. Learn how to make one, ...
For many of us, seeing walls covered in any type of wood panelling conjures up thoughts of basement rec rooms and seventies-tastic faux-rustic spaces. But, upon seeing this very modern take on the pro...
Necessity is often the best designer. We've seen some pretty amazing examples of beds made by hand, modified, altered, or even just brilliantly styled to suit the owner's needs. For five ideas,...

Here in the Midwest, we're fortunate to have space to spread out, and many of us like to use that extra elbow room for entertaining. Our house tour participants have been kind enough to share t...
Sometimes we feel like the only people on the planet NOT watching Mad Men - but even without seeing a single episode, we know the look - it has become shorthand for glamorous, sexy sixties style....
We don't always go for the matchy-matchy look, but we do love a good pair of lamps. Next to the bed or on top of a console table, a set of lamps can bring balance to a spot that needs some stru...
This beautiful warehouse-turned-home in Toronto was designed by Studio Junction for a family of four. Without a front or backyard, the home is designed around a series of interior courtyards: "Tradi...
