apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Says Deborah Buck, artist and antiques dealer, New York City:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
By Lewis Carroll
Alice's tale is all about metamorphosis, one thing changing into the next before her eyes. I believe in change in one's environment—our minds aren't static, so why should our homes be? Why not be a bit like Alice? I'm amazed at people who buy new wardrobes every season but can't replace their coffee table.
