Even though I have fallen in love with Los Angeles, I'm a southerner at heart. And when I do make it back to the south, one of my favorite spots to visit is Charleston, SC. My Dream Escape would be nestled in the middle of downtown Charleston (off of Meeting Street). I'd be in the heart of the city but close enough to Sullivan's Island for a daily swim.

The Versatility Of A White Bathroom
Minha Casa
Although we love the tiles in our bathroom, sometimes what we wouldn't give for an all white bathroom. Not only does it look clean and fresh but we'd love the ability to morph from one look to another as easily as a change of accessories.
Harriet's Nature Inspired, Designer High Rise
House Tour
Name: Harriet Zaretsky
Location: Los Angeles, California
Size: 1112 Square Feet (2 Beds 2 Baths)
Years lived in: 1 year
The first time I walked into Harriet's home, I knew she was a designer. We live in the same apartment complex and I have to admit I was comparing her fabulous space to my own apartment. We have the exact same floor plan, so it was very interesting to see how someone else envisions the space and implements their personal design. Harriet proves that just because you live in an apartment, it doesn't mean that you have to accept their status quo designs.
Beadboard on Kitchen Cabinets, Walls, and Ceilings
Beadboard is a traditional material that was once installed as separate boards. Today, the availability of beadboard-look sheeting products makes this look easier (and more inexpensive!) than ever to achieve for a cottage-y look in the kitchen. Take a look!
Hotels, Motels & Musical Moods
Austin has been known as a live music capital of the world for some time now, and at any given day or night, one can saunter into a country music show or rock out to the trendiest new band. Much to our delight, Austin has in recent years also begun to garner attention for its amazingly talented architects and designers.

Round Up of Quick & Easy Gift Wrapping Ideas
Some very creative gift wrapping of an Eames lounge at Le Blog!
I've got wrapping on the brain. Maybe because it's the good husband's 30th birthday today (Happy Birthday Dear!) or maybe it's because I'm finally prepared to admit— I suck at wrapping.
10 File Boxes To Display
A recent project has us working with a client, helping her set up a home office space. It's the second level of a large loft where we've had to create storage spots for paper and office supplies. And while there are plenty of good looking file cabinets out there, we opted for a combo of open shelving and file boxes for housing paperwork.
Style Inspiration: 6 Los Angeles Hotels
We love our hotels in Los Angeles. They're not just for visitors either. If you're looking for a great bar, restaurant, spa or hair salon, it's not unusual to find them in a hotel. But, since we live here, most of us are less likely to get a peek into the guest rooms so we've rounded up a couple of our favorites, the better to inspire you to bring hotel style to your home.
Good Ways for Couples to Share Food Responsibilities?
Q: How do couples share responsibilities for food in a relationship? I get the sense that my boyfriend expects me to be almost 100% responsible — yet he eats three times as much as I do. I love to cook and share, but spending $20 each night on dinner adds up to something unaffordable over the long term. I don't know how to broach the subject without hurting feelings.

Did You Inherit Your Organizing Tendencies?
We're right in the thick of re-watching 'Sleeping With The Enemy" and we really can't get enough of the two main homes that appear in the movie. Clean and modern, the first home shows us how Laura Burney (Julia Roberts) got her "neat freak" organizing style from her (downright despicable) husband. Living in fear of her erratic hubby, Laura learns that nothing can be out of place--ever. But once she flees and sets up shop in a new cozy charmer, she banishes his rules and throws caution (and order) to the wind.
