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. ...
Tomorrow, kids all across town will be wearing Chicago-themed clothes to school in hopes that their city will be chosen to host the 2016 Olympics. We know that our son's class will be watching the ann...
Ah, Minneapolis in the seventies. Clearly the place to go for great apartments. After years of reruns we'll never forget Mary and Rhoda's studios. From the famous "M" and dark brown velvet sofa (Mary)...
There is always a basket kicking around in my living room with a knitting project in it. Sometimes I'm working on it nearly everyday and then there are stretches where I'm too busy (or too distracted)...
Our inlaws had a condo on the beach in Florida for years - as a vacation-only home, it was decorated with bits and pieces from over the decades, some fifties Heywood Wakefield in the bedroom, a sixtie...
Through the years we've collected many things. Movie ticket stubs, foreign sand (don't ask), cameras, lamps (lots and lots of lamps), crazy socks and vintage photographs, artwork and hotwheels. But...
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 ...
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...
Long touted as a way to visually increase space and make a room feel more expansive, mirrors are an old decorating trick of the trade. Hanging a framed mirror is one thing though, adding a full mirror...
Moving boxes. We HATE moving boxes! After we've emptied them, we just don't have the energy left to break them down as we go. Or maybe it's the giant pile of them that makes us feel like we're mak...
It's a look that is gaining popularity recently - painting floors, fireplaces and moldings a dramatic black. We think the example from Inspace show above looks super, but wonder if we'd have the guts ...
You're getting ready to go on vacation. In the days leading up to it, are you getting ready or leaving it until the last minute?......
Friends of ours painted the front door of their coach house an audacious shade of lime green and it looked fantastic. Glossy, cheerful, and completely unexpected - just the right note to welcome gues...
We've been enjoying the content coming in from the Apartment Therapy readers in Canada - over the years, we've discovered wonderful spaces and great resources from this design-loving community. To he...
With all of our focus on outdoor spaces this month, it's made us think about how much we love fresh flowers. It is a real treat that we try and squeeze into the weekly budget whenever we can, yet as m...

There's so many different types of media focused on home decor, it's become easier to grow an appreciation for a style or taste that isn't your own. We love all different styles of interior design, ...
Wow, fearless color, right? A full wall of fabric in a bright hue is an amazing, memorable design detail in this showhouse sitting room but do you think it would look just as fresh day in and day out ...
Our housekeeping style is to tackle little bits of our little apartment each day. We don't actually change into old clothes designated for house cleaning, but often - regrettably - find ourselves cl...
Let's pretend your significant other calls, stating they are bringing someone home for dinner in an hour and a half. How do you react when time is short and you have a laundry list of things to be d...
Beautiful in both calm, neutral rooms and those bursting with bright color, a white carpet is one of those items that look wonderful and are tempting to consider but definitely crosses over into the c...
We only wish that was a skylight over our bed! Instead, today we have a whole slew of handymen and roofers in and out of our loft. The rains over the last few days have taken a toll on our roof (an...
New aerosol paints are hitting the craft market intended for use on fabric. They are marketed at car upholstery, furniture and home decor items such as linens and drapery. We've spotted them at loc...

We've been trying to thin out the clutter in our spaces with the Spring Cure and came across a dilemma tonight. We don't have a place to keep our remote controls. We haven't gone Universal yet, but...
