An Alternative Headboard Made of Pillows
Here's an inspiring bedroom decor idea we spied over at Olivieri, the Italian furniture design brand. Ironically, the high end design site showcases a fairly affordable option for those of us looking to add a bit of flourish and fun in the bedroom…
Decorating with Striped Art and Accessories
Be they preppy or classic, rugby or jailhouse, stripes have an "I walk the line" sort of boldness about them. Horizontal stripes add width and vertical stripes add height, but they both add drama even in small doses. Stripes usually appear in fabrics for upholstery and window coverings, but when stripes are used in art and accessories they seem fresh again.
Our Favorite Coasters From Etsy
This season's finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm had a story line where Larry David is accused of making ring stains on an antique wood table. After interrogating his friends (by asking if they "respect wood"), he uncovers the culprit (Cheryl, his ex-wife). Larry's investigation got us thinking--perhaps the right set of coasters can better encourage people to use them. Check out these gems from Etsy--after the jump!
The Deep Couch
When buying a couch for your home, comfort is key although style and design also play key roles. A deep couch with a lot of seating room is super comfy - but not for everyone.
The Rise and Fall of Design Within Reach
Fast Company
Apartment Therapy got an early sneak peek from Fast Company writer Jeff Chu of a warts-and-all exposé about Design Within Reach, mapping the dramatic trajectory of the retailer from a humble San Francisco studio to a heralded catalog and online resource for those in-the-know (and of certain means), complete with large showrooms where the design illiterate found themselves presented with options once only available via more exclusive means. Controversy soon kicked in with growth and the propagation of inspired-by pieces by DWR, setting opinions ablaze…
Printed Space: Design Your Own Wallpaper, Flooring and Blinds
Has this ever happened to you? You get an idea for something for your space that would be really cool: you saw this design that would look great on your walls or your floors only you don't have the skill set to draw or stencil it on yourself, any artisan you contact is entirely cost-prohibitive and despite having spent hours going through Apartment Therapy's archives you just can't find something similar. Now what? You could give up. Or you could contact Printed Space.

Living Without A Kitchen
Melbourne
We’ve mentioned a couple of times in the past few weeks that we were about to renovate our kitchen. We started over the weekend and everything is going great except we’re in the awkward place of not having a functioning kitchen.
My Parents Were Awesome…But Their Decor Was Not
By now many of you might have heard of the recent website flavor of the month, My Parents Were Awesome, a reader submitted collection of photos of our parents before you came along and ruined their awesomeness (we jest). Amongst the mesmerizing collection of vintage era fashions and hairstyles are a few recognizable or notable decor notes that caught our eyes that we've collected above…
How to "Punch Up" This Chair?
Good Questions
Q: I recently inherited a 1920s couch and chair, but unfortunately it has the 1970s upholstery. I can't afford to have them reupholstered yet, but I was wondering what is the best way to either neutralize or punch it up.
A Pop of Color Using Books In The Bedroom
We love the idea of decorating with books because you're utilizing belongings you already have on hand. For instance, this small stack of hardback books in the bedroom instantly adds extra charm and color to the space.
