Certainly we think of flower arranging as an art, but we've never considered literally treating bouquets as artworks, by framing them as one would frame a painting. It's an interesting way to use...

We've covered the humble beauty of Decorating the Wabi-Sabi Way before. Seems the style has been everywhere in design media recently, but where can it be found in real homes? Just look to these...
Moving into a small space requires some advance planning, especially if you've got to buy new furniture or make tough decisions about which of your existing pieces will fit in your new home. One 600-s...
Got any plans tomorrow? We know that many of you are true-blue Polaroid fans, so we thought we'd pass on this bit of information we just received: Urban Outfitters will be selling deadstock original P...
We'll admit it, we consider ourselves nerds. While we're not over-the-top, we appreciate things like video games, geometry and stamp collections. In the same token, we try to keep a chic sensibility w...

Benita at Chez Larsson has inspired many posts here on Apartment Therapy. She is the master of keeping things organized around the home and she does it in style. Her amazing ideas have inspired many s...
Amazing style and a crazy low price combine to create a perfect scavenger storm with this retro low cabinet. This 60's piece surely will not be available for long so step to it!...
There's been a lot of talk about mismatched dining chairs around here, and it seems many of us agree that the challenge is actually putting the mismatched set together and making it work. But wha...
Usually decor featuring the alphabet is relegated to the kid's room, but we might want to keep these Etsy finds for ourselves. One question - where did the P go?...
A photograph suffering the effects of mat-less framing
Setting up a new home, whether it's your first or fourteenth, often involves framing and re-framing art to fit it into new spaces. And professio...
For tightly cramped quarters, sometimes you have to think outside of the box... and possibly away from the wall. Depending on your apartment's layout, floating a bed in the middle of a room might be y...
The winners are in! We wrote about the ReBurbia contest last week when they spotlighted the 20 finalists, but now the judges have judged! Check out the winners after the jump......
Since stumbling upon these guys for a galvanized steel roundup, I've had a revisit to their site bouncing around my to-do list. Quite a few of their utilitarian (agri-chic?) fixtures caught my ...
Q: I've been holding onto this picture of Sofia Coppola's living room for a while now. I am dying to find that fancy, round, sisal (I think) rug. I know I've seen it somewhere...a catalog, a website.....

Name: Jim Kumiega

We don't naturally gravitate to marble, since its effect can often be so dramatic, even over-the-top. But lately we've been seeing some gorgeously subtle examples of marble used as a dining table...
Tacking art to the wall is sloppy (not to mention it can destroy the work), cheap frames generally look cheap (sad but true), and custom framing is, well, expensive. Aside from that there aren't ...

Last week we were pondering bedside table alternatives, among them the very simple solution of placing a chair beside the bed. A chair provides a flat surface and even a place to hang a robe or e...
In the past when we've featured layered rugs of different patterns and textures, the response has most definitely been mixed. But what do you think of using several of the same small rugs to create on...
