Our email inbox has been inundated with food and clothing drives this week, looking for support for the homeless. Even though folks are already overextended during the holiday season, we think this is...
Having lived in South Pasadena a few years back, we grew to love and really appreciate the 1920s style bungalow. Charming and identifiable at a glance, these homes are chock-full of design characte...
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 lookin...
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 ...
Just because you recently replaced your current tablecloth with a new one for Thanksgiving doesn't mean the old one has to be put away. Grab some wire clips and repurpose as curtains in your home w...
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 ...
Sometimes, the right containers can make all the difference in the world. This is definitely the case in Leslie's closet-style laundry room. The before pic is a scene of mismatched products overfl...
Just because winter is approaching doesn't mean we're heading inside--at least not in Southern California. We're looking forward to taking our favorite cozy blanket and cup of coffee out on the sto...
We visited our friend this week and hadn't been over to her cute home in a while. When we walked in, we were greeted by the most amazing scent. ...
We're beginning to think we only throw parties as an excuse to decorate. Most of the time this is easy: choose a theme and a color palette, rummage through saved supplies like crepe paper and vintage...
When we need extra seating, our go-to move consists of footstools and chairs from the kitchen. But we're really starting to admire the poof--and its design quality. Squishy and comfy, they can be ...
Our previous roommate owned a slender bookcase that extended from floor to ceiling. We ended up laying the bookcase lengthwise on the floor when we needed a T.V. stand and extra book storage in the li...
We remember watching Apartment Therapy fave, Ron Marvin's, episode of Small Space, Big Style years ago and how he had a thing for lamps and lighting. In just 300 square feet he has over ten. We also h...
Pardon the graininess; this picture was taken in very low light! Last night we attended an event at the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel (more about that later) which took place in the Garden Terrace room. Th...
We usually turn to our laptop to watch T.V. (thank you Hulu). Which means that our living room has turned into a sitting room where we listen to records, get work done on the laptop and occasionall...
We bumped into an old friend the other day and she was sharing about her small home and small shed-turned-office. (House tour very soon!) We could tell by the way she was talking that she cared about ...

I hate throwing clothes out. Oh, I've tried. I've gone through those "I am banishing all colour from my wardrobe and only wearing black" moments and, not two days after handing over all my rainbow ...
We've always flown by the seat of our pants when it comes to arranging flowers, but there is something to be said for knowing how to create the perfect bouquet. Usually, that's when a flower frog i...
In a past life, we collected Elvis Presley memorabilia and windsocks that we hung from our bedroom ceiling. While we don't collect anything currently, we would definitely go for items that pull doubl...
We've posted about the classic styles of Bauhaus before on Apartment Therapy and continue to see the influence of these designs in modern day. Interpreted through architecture, art and furniture desig...
We can't wait to have an entire room devoted to a home office. Just being able to close the door on our work space at the end of every day sounds dreamy. Until then, this sun-drenched, desk-in-a-c...
For us, decorating and arranging furniture in a small space can be challenging but also very rewarding. Take for instance, the entryway. It's the one spot where guests are welcomed and get a "first ...
Last week, we hauled our pint-sized fridge onto the front porch to defrost the freezer. The process wasn't going as quickly as we would have liked so we helped it along by chiseling away at the 4 i...
