apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Have you ever fallen in love with a piggy bank? We have. Although there's no sign of swine in this model, it's oh so pretty and holds your keys as well. Even those who claim such things belong in the bedroom, we think this version is fetching enough to sit out in the open.

It can be easy to fret over work that goes into entertaining guests in your home, but why worry, when you can simply throw a 1-2-3-4-5 party. Your guests bring food, fun and hours of entertainment — all you have to do is clean! Here's how...

Some have been lucky to find a fabulous sideboard or credenza from a sale or off Craigslist, but for those who have come up empty handed, no despair, just make on yourself. This Old House walks us through a relatively simple process using stock cabinets (which can be found for super cheap at your local Re-Store).

The 21c Museum Hotel calls Louisville, Kentucky home. Normally when you think high end hotels decked out with amazing artwork, we aren't usually thinking Kentucky—but maybe we should be. The best part is, there's several great ideas you can borrow to use in your own home. Click through to see more...

Sometimes the simplest of things are the easiest ideas to forget about. Often times it's easy to think a diy project has to be a daunting undertaking, but not today. Click through to see how easy this recycled doorstop is to make...

The Cure this week as Maxwell told us on Monday, is all about the Landing Strip and the filtering of objects as they come into your home. It can sometimes be a trial and error process to find the exact set up that stops all your clutter at the door and keeps the inside of your home free from the travels of the outside world. This week in my own home I'm struggling with...

We've come to accept the fact that there are some things we geek out about, more so than others. Usually it involves a new piece of furniture, or maybe a lamp, but in this case, it's entire houses. Or the plans of entire houses to be exact. Did we mention they're from famous tv characters? Guess who lives in each, after the jump!

Often times we aren't looking for our furniture to bring in the bright pops of color we've been talking all month about, but would rather leave that to our accessories, windows and floors. One of our new favorite pieces is this slatted rocker from West Elm and while it isn't screaming for attention it's oh so pretty. Details after the jump...

For the better part of a month now, we've been watching colorful room, after colorful room whiz by! It's been a festival of personality and excitement, but certain colors aren't meant for everyone. We often times hear the phrase, "It's pretty, but that would never work in my house." Is there a color that makes you cringe? Which ones...

By now we probably fall into the category of internet stalker when it comes to the stylings of Eddie Ross. We read the blog, follow the Twitter and are signed up for a floral class closer to the holidays.
