When Beth submitted a House Call we had an overwhelming response, readers wanted more! Beth's amazing nest in South London is what dreams are made of — her parents bought this townhouse in the swinging 60s, 2 weeks before her birth. Beth had the opportunity to move back into the family home 4 years ago and she jumped at the opportunity.
Dune has been producing high-quality contemporary furniture since 1998. The designs of Tom Dixon, Nick Dine, Fabien Baron, Jeffrey Bernett, Harry Allen Victoria Meyers and Dune president Richard Shemtov recently found a new home in a new showroom at the north end of SoHo.
Accomplished Brooklyn-based designer Anne Chessin has just launched her new website, featuring even more detail from the beautiful projects pictured in this post. Before your loved ones start gathering around an empty table, she's been kind enough to share her last-minute tablescape ideas with Apartment Therapy.
It seems like every weekend part of the city — or at least a major street — is shut down for a parade. The biggest parade of the year happens tomorrow. Do you attend or watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade? Is it part of your holiday tradition?
Gobble, gobble. It's that time to raise a glass of gravy and chase it with a shot of pumpkin pie filling. But before you head into the holiday weekend, let's give thanks to some home trends that make use of the Thanksgiving Turkey.
From Dwell — the teeny-tiny studio of architectural designer Alan Y. L. Chan that he renovated himself over the course of a year. Simple materials like plywood, concrete, glass and steel unite the 400 square foot space.
Some friends of mine used to decorate their table for festive dinners with a multitude of streamers and ribbons pouring down from the ceiling and gently pooling onto the table top. The ribbons would be all different colors and widths and the resulting look was fun and festive to the nth degree.
Florist and event designer Robert Isabell passed away in July — but the amazing collection of Twentieth Century art, furniture and objects from his Greenwich Village townhouse will be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York in December. The New York Times and Sotheby's take us into the private home of the public figure.
This oval serving cart has a Shaker-ish sort of feeling, and would fit well in pretty much any sort of decorating scheme.
The holiday season is upon us! For the next two months you'll be wining and dining with friends, close family, coworkers, and the occasional crazy uncle. We know that hosting a holiday party in your home can seem overwhelming. You're worried you don't have enough glasses, and you're not sure how to set the table or what music to play to encourage your guests to dance (though hopefully not on your dining room table). Thankfully, we love entertaining and have thought about this a lot, and we'll help you prepare for the party. First on the list: barware and glassware...
Q: Hi, We recently got a teak dining set and I'm concerned about how we're going to keep it safe. We have a 9 month old daughter, so I need to protect it in a way that's super durable but also safe. I've heard that I should use tung oil, but I'm not really sure what that is, or if it's safe. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanksgiving is upon us. Did you spend all of your money on your menu? Don't despair about decorating the table. Just step outside. These ideas from Donna Hay use nature's decorations to trim a seasonal tabletop.

Store: CanvasPop
Description: Remember that amazing candid shot you caught of your sister mid-laugh? Or that once-in-a-lifetime photo snapped while you were on a safari last year — you know, the one where the giraffe almost bit your nose off? There's nothing more satisfying than decorating your home with personal artwork and photos, and CanvasPop makes it easier than ever to do so.
Take a look at this sleek kitchen renovation — you won't believe the before photo! It looks just like many, many small kitchens that we've seen lately.
A mixture of IKEA, Jens Risom and high-end antiques decorate the midtown office of interior designer Harry Heissman and New York Magazine gives us a peek into the true "eclectic mix" of his workspace and design philosophy.
