The IKEA Bollo is one of those products that you see popping up in photos from homes worldwide. (The image above shows a Swedish balcony.) We bought ours last year for our deck. It was simple, cheap...

We love kitchens, the true center of most homes. We also love The Kitchn, which focuses on this part of home life every day. As a tribute to kitchen and bath month here at Apartment Therapy, we rounde...
A while ago, we purchased IKEA's Hessum Runner for our entrance hall, and we've been very happy with how it's held up. Shown here (unvacuumed) after several days of collecting slush, shoe grime, and...
My former boss, a gallery owner with excellent taste, introduced me to Luna Garcia's handcrafted pottery. For our wedding, she gave us this gorgeous serving bowl which has since become our favorite ...
Many of us at AT are big-time magazine readers. At the end of the month, there is always the struggle to determine which ones you will keep and which ones hit the recycling bin on the way out the do...
We look to all the AT sites' archives of best products regularly. The range is great: for every room, every need and every budget. Today, we pulled the best of the best from our Chicago archives, and ...
Living in the Midwest where the sweat seems to pour off you (usually at the most inappropriate of times) and the heat of Phoenix is met by the humidity of Miami (lower cost of living has some drawbac...
For one of my Mother's Day treats, we went and did a "twirl" through IKEA. It always makes me foolishly, unexpectedly happy to visit the big blue and yellow store - call me crazy, I just like it. On t...
We've talked about the Componibili on AT before (here and here for starters), but our love for this piece has been recently reawakened. In our old home, it was a workhorse in our closet. Now that we...
We struggled with a fluffy white bathmat for a year. No matter how many times we washed it, it seemed to get dirty again after two showers. Despite its spa-like look, it felt grungy underfoot. Final...
Maxwell posted these a few years ago, but we thought we'd bring them up again for bathroom month. Rolling shower curtain rings are a small indulgence that makes a big difference in the bathroom. Wit...
We just bought our third glass globe pendant light - a "best product" for us because of its versatility, simple design, and price. Locally, we find ours at Clark-Devon Hardware; online they are availa...
We have a cotton blanket from Restoration Hardware that we use year-round. It's the perfect weight for a summer bedspread, and in the winter it adds just the right amount of warmth under our quilt. ...
There is a terrible and obnoxious street light that lives right outside our bedroom window. We could have opted for black-out curtains but we rather like our bamboo shades. Our only other options we...
Dish rack love. We got a tiny bit of flack for singing the praises of an expensive dish rack by simplehuman, but we're sticking to our guns on this one. It's true that $70 is a lot to spend on a dish ...
We recently received this "trashy" gift from some friends: the Canyon waste basket. Never would we have imagined loving and thinking so much about a waste basket! The simple lines and beautiful wal...
It might not have a lot of sex appeal, but a square basket is one of those items you can use anywhere in the home. (And despite its country-style reputation, the plain wicker basket can be modern......
If Superman were a tool, he'd definitely, without a doubt, be the Shur-Line 10-in-1 Multi-Purpose Tool. This thing can do anything. We've used it to peel paint, shear stubborn heads off of wall anc...
This set has been in my family for years. When I finally inherited the primary-colored nesting bowl set, it felt great and they have served me well. After a quick eBay search, the bowls show up in abu...
Everything in our home gets shifted around a bit when seasons change. We mentally went through every room in our apartment and came up with a wish list of some beautiful, useful, and healthy ways to a...
Simple, inexpensive, compact, perfect. When we made the switch to a pedestal sink, we lost that bit of counter top for toothbrushes, floss, sunscreen, whatever. The stuff you don't really want to st...
Not to be overly dramatic, but is it possible to fall in love with a cleaning product? We've been working on breaking our paper towel addiction. We'd already reduced our paper towel use by a lot - by ...
We've been buying the FJÄLLSTA frames for a while now. We used to have a friend's original photos housed in a pair, then we swapped out those images for something new last year. The classic black fra...
After checking out Heather's Hot or Not: Swiffer post this morning, we thought we should offer up our Swiffer-alternative, a product we've used for ages and are very happy with. It is a Bona floor m...
We've had this white waffle-weave shower curtain from Target for two years now. Out of our personal history of shower curtains, this one is by far our favorite - classic white, goes with everything, ...
