A patio garden that's just starting out can look a little scraggly, but benefits of greenery, visual pleasure and sometimes food make it well worth it. And as this garden demonstrates, it doesn't ta...
This is practically one of the wonders of the world. This particular hanging garden isn't just decorative, though - it's a vegetable garden......
These days we've been combing the internet for examples of people who have used apartment patios to create outdoor living spaces and gardens. But this picture reminds us that not even a patio is nee...

Candlelight against lush green foliage is always a little magical, and we usually see it used on a table top or along a garden pathway. We were intrigued by this variation, which sees slim, birthday...

We have bedrooms on the brain today as it's the perfect temperature outside for a quick cat nap and this bedroom looks like just the place to take one! Although that probably makes us sound weird an...
We love the color palette of cloudy gray, crisp white and rust in this modern, relaxing guestroom at the Hotel Max in Seattle. A few other aspects we really enjoy about this room after the jump......
We sat on this picture for a while, fully expecting and dreading a chorus of "but it's not good design!" But it reminds us of our grandmother's house. And we felt wonderful there. And isn't that the...

Looks like a simple, nicely organized home, right? Well, not quite......
It's probably just us, but we might get a little freaked out by a bathroom with two large windows in it, for privacy reasons (we know, curtains, shades, but still). But the upside is a spot to get r...
