With the weather getting nicer and the days getting longer, we find ourselves on our front stoop, enjoying the end of the workday. So it's only natural for us to keep the stair area inviting. We spo...
A few years back AT posted about how to make furniture polish with just baby oil and lemon extract, but we're more apt to concoct this homemade recipe shared by the Australian edition of Better Homes ...
When we used to live in Burbank, we would pass a boutique store carrying magazine bowls just like this one pictured above. We always liked the idea of having our own bowl made from the recycled pages...

Right now, we're looking at our blank bulletin board. It has one final step (a coat of white spray paint) before its ready to go back in our office. It used to be covered in fabric from IKEA (a busy...
Before you start organizing your office space (or any space for that matter), it's important to ask yourself questions that will instruct your process. You'll need a vision for the space (and a goal ...
We're already looking ahead to AT's January Jumpstart 2009 (let's just say we like to plan ahead). So far we've found a side table that has great lines--just a really bad green paint job with 70's in...
