apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

What about the "Judges praise" for Roberts place? I never saw it.

Hey

I'm moving to Manhattan in about a month, and I wanted to get started with picking my furniture. I really like the collections at Room&Board and West Elm - are there any other stores out there that sell similar stuff but at a lower pricepoint? I am not a big fan of Ikea.

Anu suggestiong would be much appreciated -- Thanks much!

Any recommendations on overcoming really bad bathroom floor tile? I am in a rental and the tile is fairly rusty, the grout seems dirty and no matter how much I scrub or what I do to it it never gets clean. Bathroom rugs aren't an option becuase with poor ventilation they get moist and smell stale.
Any thought are appreciated.

I just bought a fabulous (and dirt cheap) dark bamboo tile floor mat that I want to hang above my bed as a pseudo-headboard.

The only problem is that the bamboo tiles are woven together with stretchy plastic, and the weight of the tiles will stretch out the mat if I simply hang it against the wall.

Any ideas on how to properly hang a mat? Thanks much.
