apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

My parents put a sheepskin rug next to my bed when I was little because I kept falling out onto the hardwood floor. It worked!

The tablecloth stove reminds me of the stove my mother made for me out of cardboard and paper tape. She was an art student at the time with mad mat-cutting skillz... actually she had some carpentry background too... it was really amazing. The oven door opened and shut with a magnet, and had oven 'racks' (flat pieces of cardboard with the grills drawn on with a ruler) which could be adjusted like in a real oven. And there was a working bottom drawer. My Fisher Price range fit perfectly on top.

I love the afghan. Yet another great white space with color pops - vintagy but not too cheesy, and with great applications for those white-walled apartments you're not allowed to paint.

I love the look and feel of sheepskin rugs but I don't understand how to clean them. When I wash mine in the washing machine they smell really bad when wet, take a long time to dry and curl up on the sides...Any tips?
