The Proper Place For Nudes
Flickr Find: Amanda and Josh's Quirky Powder Room
OK, we admit it- we love getting to peek into the homes of our readers. We love being inspired by your spaces, wowed by your design sense, and humbled by your creativity. Bathrooms especially often reveal the wilder side of your personalities- it seems many of you are more willing to take a chance on brighter colors and quirkier accents than in the main living areas of your homes. Amanda and Josh's bright and fun powder room is a perfect example of why we love funky private spaces.
Tip: Take Pictures of Your Spaces
Yesterday, we learned an important home improvement tip firsthand: taking a picture of a room helps you back away and see it from a different perspective. This is something we all know here at Apartment Therapy, right? Because every day we look at pictures of rooms and think about what we do like and what we would change.

Rescuing a Broken Mirror? Good Questions
Q: A Murano glass mirror my wife and I picked up in Venice has undergone a series of trials and tribulations, and unfortunately the mirror itself has a large crack running down the middle. The Murano glass "frame" that borders the mirror is what we want to salvage, but in order to fix a previous problem I pretty much permanently affixed it to the mirror using epoxy. Do I just glue another mirror onto the cracked one? Or is something more inventive called for?

A Rental Bath, Accessorized
Mini Tour
This is the true story of a real person with a rental bathroom, trying to accessorize and make the best of it. We moved into our apartment a year ago, and had virtually nothing to put in the bathroom, except for wedding gifts. And so we went shopping for accessories.
Vintage Butcher Blocks in the Kitchen
Lately, I've been drooling over antique butcher blocks. This is probably because my kitchen is about to inherit one from the early 1900's and I can hardly wait! While I already have a plan in store for mine, I've become fascinated by how others are incorporating them into their kitchens.
