Apartment Therapy: look!

Los Angeles Water Restrictions On the Way?

We admit, water consumption isn't something we normally worry about so much. But we should. Today I bathed, washed my car (but all within 5 minutes at a DIY car wash) and did a couple loads of laundry...

Look! "Wooden Mirror" by Daniel Rozen

Wow! Check out this "Wooden Mirror" by Daniel Rozen. It consists of a bunch of wooden panels that are connected to a camera and a computer. The panels flip from light to dark to represent what the cam...

Look! White Walls, Green Trim

When we first spotted this photo of this Pasadena 1910 Craftsman bungalow in Architectural Digest, we thought it looked a wee bit old fashioned. But after taking a closer look, we're starting to like...

Look! Bottom Situated Awning Windows

LA, hot enough for you today? Looks like tomorrow is going to even be hotter (just our luck, we're leaving prime beach weather and heading into forecasts of rain in NYC). We think Malibu architect Bru...

Look! A Multi-Functioning Kitchen Corner

Looking at this photo, we'd never guess it was actually a kitchen corner (although the hanging teacups might be an obvious hint). But what we love about this corner by Moline is that it's pulling tri...

Customizable "Meaning of Time" Wall Clock

We're really hoping Bomi Kim's Meaning of Time concept goes into production, because the simple idea is simply brilliant. The mechanical centerpiece allows for customizable clock hands of your own cho...

Look! Miss Miza Decorative Decals

These beautiful decorative decals for the wall, floor, windows or wherever from designer Miss Miza for Les Invasions Ephémères have us looking all over our apartment for surfaces to decorate. The fl...

How to: Pack Luggage

We're just starting to prepare for our Friday morning flight to AT headquarters and ICFF, and that means dusting off the old luggage set and picking out what to take over yonder to the other side of t...

Look! Really Small Succulent Garden

We noticed this tiny strip of a garden outside someone's front gate and loved how much they made out of so little. The amount of dirt they had to plant in couldn't have been more than a few inches an...

Look! Mirrored Cabinets

We spotted this idea in a recent tour of LA-based designer Hillary Hayne's kitchen: refacing kitchen cabinets with mirrors. Inspired by an antique mirror that she had, Hayne replicated the look thanks...

Look! Air Plants In Glass

Here's the funny thing about blogging. It's the crazy intersection where luck meets imagination, where an experience -- a conversation, a place, food, the way someone's dressed -- sparks an idea that...

Look: Leftover Marmoleum Kitchen Floor

Here's the equivalent of home decor fried rice: Diary of a Vermont Eco Builder took all the Marmoleum leftover bits from their renovation projects, including from the bathrooms floors, bathroom counte...

Look! Pairing Lucite with Grecian Columns

We just looked through a pretty cool house tour over at Sköna Hem, and among the photos we saw, we were intrigued by this playful and unexpected pairing of lucite with heavy Grecian columns. What do ...

ATLA Reader "Work in Progress" Loft Update

We love updates from you, our readers! Reader submitted photos of renovation and home improvement projects are the gifts that keep on giving, in terms of advice and inspiration, and are amongst our mo...

Look! Matching Armoires and Walls

Here's one way to give a small home the illusion of a little bit more space: paint the bulky furniture (like these armoires) the same color as the walls. Not only does it gives the walls a bit more d...

Mr. Squirrel Assembles a Real Good Chair

A fun TGIF video from the good folks at Blu Dot. Who knew squirrels were so crafty...or into modern furnishings? ...

Modern for the Masses?

We unwittingly opened a Pandora's box earlier this week when we posted about an Eames-style office chair knockoff a reader wrote in about as a sales tip. There was plenty of discussion about the ethic...

Look: Secret Kitchen Compartment

I recently had the pleasure of checking out my good friend's new apartment, a stylishly furnished 30's era Spanish style 2-bedroom unit with all the architectural fixin's that had us weak at the knees...

Scullcave

Swissmiss posted the Scullcave, a children's play hut made out of a lightweight industrial material normally used as isolation when laying the foundation of cemented roads. But we can't help think tha...

Look! Sleeping Under a Tree: A DIY Paint Project

Here's a beautiful NY to Cali collaboration that resulted in amazing effect. ATLA reader Chelsea's best friend flew out from New York and helped transform her walls into a breezy woodland scene using ...

Look! DIY Platform Bed With Storage

David tells us his DIY platform bed project isn't yet complete, but we think he's done such a spectacular job with his bed/storage to this point, we wanted to go ahead and share what's he's completed ...

Look! Z Galleries Outdoor Pavillion

The thing is, though the weather is LA is great, sometimes the sun is, well, too sunny and definitely too hot. We need shade! We need trees! We need to access our inner Kelly Wearstler and put up t...

Look! Emroidery Hoop Landing Strip

We love this ingenious use of the decorative embroidery hoop. This time it's part of the landing strip, helping to corral papers and letters that need to leave the house. ...

20 Household Uses for Newspaper (Once You've Finished the Crossword)

Although one of the things we love most is sitting around the house with friends over a long leisurely brunch, sharing the Sunday papers, we've tried to cut back on our paper habit. Of course we recy...

Look! Granny and Popo's Haus B & B

When we moved to Los Angeles, we drove cross-country, taking secondary roads in order to see the amazing country that lay between New York and here. Granny and Popo's Haus is exactly the kind of plac...
