Recently, we received the loveliest handmade card that was embellished with thread. Simple but unique, the extra bit of time that went into making the card really wowed us. So much so that we...
A long, long time ago, I confessed to watching Monster-In-Law while hungover and obsessing over the decor and ignoring the storyline. This was long before we ever started doing On the Set features; s...

We realized it had been awhile since we last checked our Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flickr pool, a way for active Flickr users to easily share their images with both us and our readers. What...
Q: My husband and I recently bought and moved into a house. I have to choose the curtains for the living room, but I am not sure which is the best option…it has high ceilings. Please does anyone who...
Instead of going horizontal with our work/storage space (where things can easily be out of reach), we like to go vertical. And while shelves are usually a great alternative, sometimes drilling...
There are tons of tricks to make your small space feel bigger. Aside from mirrors, great lighting and floating furniture, consider using glass in your small space. We spotted......
There is seating that oozes style and sophistication and there are couches worthy of snuggling up on for a 3 hour nap, but finding a sofa that is both hip and comfy can be a challenge. Even wor...
The other day Beth suggested some ways to loosen up the dining room. Funny, we're not even sure that in our increasingly informal lives there's even much of a need for this room anymore but then the ...

Our bedding had seen better days. A few years back our younger and rowdier felines tore up our duvet, thanks to their razor sharp claws, and we never got around to replacing it. But recently we...
Q: We recently bought the sofa and chair as we began to settle into our new place slowly upgrading things from several college-based households as we were able, and then lo, I found out I was pregnan...
We started wearing a watch again for the first time in years. This single act has freed us from locating our cell phone when we need to know what time it is. Using a wall clock in the home af...
When we attended the Ahead of the Curve panel a few weeks ago, we had an opportunity to hear what design leaders feel are the next design trends. One trend we wanted to try was......
It's rare that we find a store that not only has a selection of furniture and accessories that remind us of an awesome flea market stall but that also has prices that remind us more of craigsli...
It doesn't matter how much counter space you have — it always seems you need more during various times throughout the year. For many it's the holiday season, but if your space is small, it could...
We love how this bedroom feels "grown-up" without seeming stuffy or overdone. All of the elements came together to make for a stunning bedroom. Basically, we've kinda fallen for the space--le...

As a child of middle class suburbia, the tract home defined our perception of home and a house. But even in our youth we noted that although the Smiths may have occupied a similarly designed tr...
I recently bought this cart, which I love. My plan is to use it as a bar. But midway through setting up, I thought to test the paint for lead, and got a faint positive. Since I'm expecting a baby, lea...
While we don't believe that you have to run out to The Container Store every time you need a container for your belongings, sometimes the right product can be invaluable. For instance, when we...
Craving a new paint color but fearful of leaving the beloved beige behind? Neutral and versatile doesn’t have to be plain Jane. Look out the window and borrow colors from nature, like blue and green...
Last week Beth asked whether you look in other people's medicine cabinets when you're at a party. We're among the "yes" contingency. Knowing where we stand, we clean out this space before the festiv...

Celebrity homes are pretty funny--some homes (like Julia Child and Diane Keaton) have a LOT of personality; while others...not so much. This one walks a fine line between the two: Once you figure ou...
