Visiting SoHo for a shopper is sort of like visiting the Louvre for an art lover — all the big names are spread out before you in one walkable place. It's crowded, totally commercial, and lots of fun if you like hopping from store to store. Although most stores tend to be high-end showrooms, there are still enough eccentric holes in the wall to satisfy the adventurous shopper. Read the full guide on Marketplace.

The Huia, a now extinct bird, is featured in this cut vinyl record artwork by artist Aimee Gruar. We love that the circular shape of the original record is still implied by its grooves and center label, but the shape has been completely cut away to show the silhouette of the once-beautiful species:
Greetings, Apartment Therapy readers. I've been tasked with the job of finding a large modern, durable, and attractive dresser for some clients. Lots of great options out there, you say. Sure, but the problem I'm having is they want all this...for $700!
Three legged chairs make this mid century dining set something really special. Six chairs and the table, all in good vintage condition, are included in the $600 pricetag.
The word "doily" just sounds old and musty, doesn't it? In reality, they're small little works of art that can be found all over at local thrift stores and estate sales. After we mentioned using them as wall art yesterday, we thought a proper roundup was in order to showcase their true modern beauty. Here are 7 ways to put them to use and get them out of the linen closet!
Lots of new lighting — the growth in the number of LED options is staggering! Here are some new lamps and chandeliers rounded up over the past weeks.
Brooks Hudson Thomas, owner of Specific Merchandise, shared his summer style with us:

The Color of Summer 2010: Blue & Yellow Plaid
Name: Melissa & Phil
Location: Brooklyn Heights — Brooklyn, New York
Our apartment is a 1,000 square foot pre-war in Brooklyn Heights. We share it with an anti-social Pomeranian named Munchie — as you can see, he is one of the best design elements in the space. Our home is full of mementos and informed by our past, our travels, and our walks through the streets of New York.
I'm in a traveling, outdoor mood, largely because I'm stuck inside an air conditioned office and longing to be outside. To soothe myself, I want to revisit a home we visited last summer — Margaret Roach's year round retreat in upstate New York. I've included new pictures, and I think you'll get a lot of vicarious pleasure out of this visit. Enjoy!
