apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i will be very interested to see coverage of Asia and Australia!

If you ever need someone for the Portland and Seattle area please let me know!

redmolly: you should contact ATSF at sf@apartmenttherapy.com just in case they're looking for new contributors. We're certainly always talking about those stylish Pacific Northwest regions :)

i am thinking asia means japan means small spaces = lots to learn and do and harness space.

Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, China, Taiwan...they're all asian countries where small space living is often practiced.

What about for Canada? We have some unique constraints, such as colder weather, different store chains, lack of some US retailers shipping to us, etc. As well as different design influences, such as British and French. For instance, Quebeckers traditionally rent a lot more than in other North American cities. Montreal and Quebec City have a great French influence, and Maritime houses are different yet again.

i think the asia material would be fantastic!! really looking forward to that...
how about savannah, ga one day????

take care!

I agree that Canadian content would be great -- there's so much different architecture & design across this huge country!

What about Europe? When will you need contributers? ;)

So, coverage of Asia but still no one in the entire South? Miami? Atlanta? New Orleans? No?

Interesting.

Please note: each AT city site covers a specific region, so ATLA is specifically looking for cities within our current coverage which includes Asia and Australia, alongside the Southwest states.

Europe falls under ATNY and is already being covered, while Canada is being covered by ATSF and ATChi. This call out is specifically a search for bloggers to join AT Los Angeles' team, so it does not include any other regions except those listed above in the post.

vjm: in time, we'd love to cover the South (chicken or the egg first conundrum); it's been discussed often and I'd bet it will happen sooner than later.

"Canada is being covered by ATSF and ATChi."

It is?

>Asia, Australia and the other Southwest states

Um, when did those become Southwest states?

Hey! I'll do it! I don't know how to do most of that stuff, other than make oodles of posts. And I don't live in any of those areas. And I don't really like leaving the house much either.

Uh, but I was thinking...maybe you could just send me money anyway?

:::giggles:::

Thanks for thinking of the south! I'm moving to New Orleans from Virginia next month, so I look forward to expanded coverage. Lots of really amazing stuff down in NOLA. Green design, great examples of vernacular architecture, new designers and artists- what's not to love?

ohhh, how exciting! I've always wanted to blog for AT, thinking that here in Japan there are so many interesting ideas. Small living leads to great creativity. Also it is interesting how old blends with new in a lot of decoration ideas (tatami rooms, futon, etc).
Count on my application for the Asia spot ;)

Asia to most people in the west means Japan, Thailand, Hongkong etc...but please dont forget INDIA. There are many many beautiful homes and apartments here, loads of traditional wisdom regarding space and resource use...and of course colors and textures! Let me know if you would be interested in blogs from vibrant INDIA!
(...heck, I'll throw in some food posts for theKitchn.com too!)

CA-NA-DA! CA-NA-DA!

rusholme: yes, both ATSF and ATChicago have done house tours in Canadian regions.

viola: "the other Southwest states" was in reference to their relation to Southern California/Los Angeles coverage. Because AT started off with just 4 cities, we were assigned certain global sections where the design and decor scenes were notably healthy and in tune with the site. So for example, since AT New York is closest to Europe, they often cover European house tours. While in our case, ATLA covers house tours of homes in Asia and Australia.

Hi all -
Janel from AT:Chicago here.

I'm happy to see so much interest in more AT coverage of Canada - we're looking forward to adding a blogger from Toronto in the fall.

Please stay tuned for the Toronto-specific search in September on AT:Chicago. Thanks!

umm... canada?

Exactly what does a blogger do?

I am in Perth, Western Australia and would love to do it but I really think AT needs someone from Sydney or Melbourne to make it worthwhile. Can't wait to see the Aussie entries though!

Montreal is covered by San Francisco??? Well, I guess they're both cities near a bay...

Hmm...

I think what is needed is an AT:Canada, not coverage by AT:SF and AT:Chicago.

And there's a lot of US between AT:SF or AT:LA and AT:Chicago that isn't getting covered either.

And I hope the new AT:LA bloggers come up with more interesting articles than the current ones seem to be.

P.S. -- AT:Canada is at minimum.

It really needs at least two: one to cover Toronto and Montreal (and the rest of eastern Canada), and another to cover Vancouver and the rest of western Canada.

Sure, once we're able to expand out to a full-fledged Canadian team, we'd certainly consider it. But for now, this post was specifically put up looking for additional contributors to the LA team due to an actual need we have with vacancies and with hopes for regional posts originating directly from Asia and Australia, two excellent regions for design and decor inspiration. In due time, you're likely to see a similar call for Canadian bloggers on our other sites, so keep your eyes out.

dblitz, I'm disappointed to hear you're not pleased with the LA content, but it is certainly hard to please everyone so we take it all in stride (bruised egos aside). For the most part, I think the LA bloggers are doing a great job considering they're all writing about what they're passionate about with a positive voice that reflects the spirit of our own city. Perhaps, future additions to the team from different areas will provide the content and aesthetics you personally value.

@gregory:

it's the paper shampoo/dog paw washer type articles I'm griping about. You guys are passionate about that sort of stuff?

Seems like we need an AT: Team Canada site! AT:SF & AT:CHI don't spring to mind when I think Canadian design.

I say go BIG, and as big goes, Canada is BIG.

AT: Atlanta...I had to submit my Birmingham, AL house tour to Chicago! c'mon, show the south some love! I'm ready when Y'ALL are!!

...I wish I had more time...because I would have loved to contribute and show you the amazing places here like Asia, like my new hometown Kuala Lumpur...can't wait to see who's going to do the job! many greetings from sunny KL!

dblitz1: sure, we're passionate about many different solutions. I know Grace is interested about canine related products for the home because she has two hounds she loves (and whom she often has to clean). I was looking at easy to carry washing options because I've been planning camping trips and have used paper sheet soap before and really like them. Like I said, sometimes things we post may seem silly to one person but ends up being extremely useful information to another (sure, if I didn't have a pet, I would really be interested in pet products either)...

Also looking forward to something representative of Asia. Going to pass on the details to apply to a friend who I think could fit the bill.

GOD! I would absolutely love to do this!!!! It would be such the dream- I have everything BUT a digital camera. Blah, maybe someday :(

I second rapidtransiman's comment!

I agree with topia7 - Australia's east coast would be a great addition, although melbourne has such a rich design culture and is so under-exposed. I'm sure Canada is nice - but Melbourne is awesome [and in the region your looking for].

Do you need bloggers in NJ or Washington, DC. If so I'd love to do it.
