Last week David Stark made a guest appearance on Apartment Therapy to show off his holiday collection at West Elm. I noticed this simple DIY that he put together for twine snowmen over at Design Spo...
Although our beloved Domino has gone the way of the dodo, the brains behind it, fortunately, are still out there working their creative magic. Garden Editor Stephen Orr, for instance, has a thoughtful...
Who doesn’t love a fresh bouquet of flowers or a vibrant, flowering arrangement? This time of year you’d be hard pressed to find any sort of blooming flower in the Northwest, at least one that wa...
We've heard a lot about dumpster pools lately but what dumpster gardens? For the urban dweller, this is a great alternative to the rooftop garden. Plus, it's a perfect way to reuse and recycle an ab...
Though it may not seem like it here in San Francisco, where we've had a run of strangely warm weather, November marks the transition into winter, and we should soon be in for cool nights and rain. The...
Taking a cue from Lindsey's Roundup of high contrast, two-tone furniture, here is a great project we found for all you DIY-ers out there. With two days time and about $100 total per dresser, you can ...
Our desk is in the same room as our dining table, so it's important that our work space be classy and organized. Currently, we're fixated on organizing with classy bulletin boards. If you have a sim...
We love a good refinish, repurpose, or reinvention. This nightstand project is a gorgeous example of a finely crafted refinishing that we wish we had the artistic inclination to be able to do!...
We know that Eddie is killer creative and technically savvy with before & afters, and here's yet another great example. These Salvation Army chairs truly were salvaged with a little vision, some gre...

Last week we took a look at the classic Parsons table in ten different contexts, styles, and colors, and Sarah Coffey wrote about using a rug as a tablecloth. Well here's an idea that brings those two...
Our bed has gone naked for far too long, and it's time for some kind of a headboard, preferably a cushy one to lean against for reading. With our simple bedding, a headboard upholstered in a bold prin...
We have to admit that we love the cardboard furniture we've seen around the last little while, like the DIY chair from kraftwerk that Gregory at Apartment Therapy LA posted here. Check out this DIY tu...
Remember my friend Rachel, who looked so cute posing next to all of the World's Largest Things? We marveled over her photos of the World's Largest landmarks, a collection of experiences rather than ob...
We swoon at the thought of heated floors. Efficient, green, and oh-so-toasty, a floor heated from beneath with a radiant hot water system is perfect for San Francisco, where it's often colder inside t...
A few weeks ago we had the chance to be a guest at a one day concrete countertop workshop at Cheng Concrete located in Berkeley. We took the workshop mostly out of curiosity and desire to learn more a...

Every Friday, the editors' blog at ReadyMade features a reader's weekend project, which never fails to make me feel like I'm about to waste my own weekend accomplishing next to nothing. The creativity...
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 what if ...
Before... This umbrella stand was a cute, if unremarkable, thrift store find, but Jenny Komenda of Pearl Street Interiors transformed it into an elegant, even striking signature piece. If you ever re...
As if our obsession with owning books weren't enough to deal with on its own, we've now also become obsessed with the "bookcase of the day" feature on Jamie Meares' blog, I Suwannee. The book storage ...
In the past, there's been a lot of discussion on Apartment Therapy about whether it's preferable to adorn the walls with art or with family photos. Many of you have argued that perhaps the two aren't ...
