apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Happy National De-Lurking Week!

2007-01-10-delurk.jpg

Who knew? We just found out that this is National De-Lurking Week (January 8-12). Started by Paper Napkin and slowly making its way through the blogosphere, it's a good excuse to say hello on the blogs you enjoy.

 
 

We think that the culture of online life and its complex and interconnected social structure should be recognized - this is a week worth celebrating!

So, from us to you: Happy De-Lurking Week...We are happy you are here and always love to hear from you, so feel free to say hello back, all lurkers who are ready to de-lurk!

I live in Minneapolis, MN, so I don't feel I have too much to comment on... I wish there was an apartment therapy - minneapolis!

Outed. Was waiting to finish my place before posting, but seeing as that could be years from now...

Yes, I'm lurking. The search for perfection keeps me jumping all over the blogosphere, but likewise keeps me silent...

I live in a house in Montana, but I love this blog, so I check it everyday!

I love lurking/glimpsing into other people's places and being inspired! AT is my favorite place to lurk.

Catherine - I'm soooo with you on AT-TC (Twin Cities, for those not familiar with our own abbreviation)! I would love love love to head up that; being at the center of some really unique cultural experiences up here *in the middle of nowhere* makes living in the TC really great. Hopefully someday we'll be able to showcase for the rest of the world how far from "Fargo" we really are!

Gratuitous self-promotion alert:
Maxwell - want to expand the world to the TC?? Would absolutely love to head up the effort.

Cheers, everyone, and happy lurking!

Wow! I just posted on the last house tour and confessed that I was a lurker! No reason. I'm just lazy. But I've been lurking here for maybe 2 1/2 years now...I love this site!

I think I was brave enough to post once. I live in a 1950's ranch in South Carolina.

Live in a house in the boonies- this is my exposure to whatever is the next new black. Plus, look forward to many of Patrick (the other one)'s comments.

I've been lurking and loving Apartment Therapy for ages.

I also look into people's houses when I walk by at night if the lights are on and the blinds are up.

That last part might be an overshare.

Austin lurker here. I rent, and decorate in fin-de-siecle thrift. Closing my blinds now! ;)

Central Massachusetts here! I lurk, therefore I am!

I live in Sydney Australia, and love to browse
this site

posted by Jenny on 2007-01-10 20:32:14

I love this site!!!! It almost completely satisfies my voyeuristic desires, thus negating my habit of standing across the street from living room windows, hoping to glimps an ingenious decorating scheme, or at least an interesting light fixture. Maybe one day, I will be able to contribute to this site, although I suppose I'll also have to move from Savannah.

I'm a Portage Park lurker who's always looking for great ideas that I can steal for brick bungalow! When I finally redo my bedroom, I'll hopefully love it enough to post.

I'm a lurker -- or I *was*, I guess.

I found this site about a year and a half ago. I used it daily as I renovated my house, stealing every idea I could. I finished the house about 4 months ago. I tried to ween myself off of the site. I check it several times a day. Everytime I put it in the address box, I become extremely aware that I am in the process of procrastination.

I'm a lurker.......

I check Apartment Therapy daily and one day I'll post photos of my pad and pretend that I had style all along.
