Recently a friend who knows I actually care about stuff like this asked me what's the deal with non-absorbent dish towels. And it's true: A lot of dish towels these days, especially the cute ones, sil...
Why don't they exist on every bath towel? One Apartment Therapy reader reminded us in the comments on yesterday's Aarikka towel clip post that some bath towels already have a loop sewn in for hangin...
We've seen Aarikka mobiles before, but here's one more playful home accessory from the Finnish designer and manufacturer: towel clips!......
Retailers often lump bed and bath together when categorizing their goods, with some collections encompassing enough items to allow you to have identical patterns or textiles in both your bedroom and b...

While Ikea is our go-to source for dishtowels, we wont turn our noses up a something a bit nicer. French linens are our dream kitchen towels, but we've never found a cheap source for the vintage one...
Thick bath towels are a true luxury that last a surprisingly long time, and get better with every use. These organic cotton towels with bold contrast stitching mimic the look and evoke the comfort o...
Because it's technically winter here in San Francisco, we've been looking at elegant ways to heat the house. The ugly furnace from 1994 is the only heating source we have. It is on our to-do list to r...
We often pay more attention to accommodating guests than being one. But if holiday travel is in your future, we found this set of valet pouches to pack and separate all the little things, organized ...
We replaced our vinyl shower liner with a new curtain, but we felt bad about just chucking the old one in the trash. We decided to keep it to use around the house because it seemed like something that...
While we're usually big fans of simple white bath linens, a good pattern can really get us going. So it's no surprise that we're currently eyeing these Tile Jacquard Towels....
We've been searching online for a shower curtain for our new abode. Since we don't have time to look for fabric and make our own, we'll probably end up with one of the following... ...
We have a few requirements when it comes to bathmats - they must absorb water well, dry quickly, be machine washable, and not cause us to slip on our tile floors. The TOFTBO from IKEA does all of thes...
We are firm believers in thrift stores, Craigslist, Ikea, and any other inexpensive places to find home decor. One place we refuse to skimp, however, is the linen closet. Sheets and towels are guarant...
Maison d'Etre is one of our very favorite stores. We were trying to pinpoint what makes shopping there (or merely browsing) such a satisfying experience: it's a domestic sensualist's delight. ...
In our recent post about our updated bathroom shelving, a reader noticed our toilet paper holder, which does double duty as a magazine rack. We know that not everyone is a fan of a magazine rack in th...
It's no secret that we're huge fans of San Francisco-based Design Public. We love poking around their site, looking for fun and interesting products. Recently we checked out their Exclusives page, a...

If you've got a small bathroom than you know what a premium counter space in there can often be. We have a cup on the side of our sink right now for toothbrushes, but it is not an ideal situation for ...
While some say the jury's still out on PVC, we make an effort not to have anything made from the material in our home. The off-gassing smell alone turns our stomach - we had to let the last PVC shower...
Our linen closet is a study in white. White sheets, white duvet, white towels and washcloths. Sounds a little anal? Perhaps, but for a long time we've just really liked the clean, crisp feeling of whi...
Did anyone else's mom get them a matching bath set (toothbrush holder, cup, wastebasket, soap dish) when you moved out of the house? We did, a bamboo motif ceramic affair from Martha Stewart's Tar...
It always feels so posh when we visit people's houses and they've got a stack of cloth towels in the bathroom for guests to use, like in a fancy restaurant. Not so much when those are monogrammed a...
Hi creative AT:SF readers! I'm moving into a new rental house next month, and I need serious help with the bathroom. It has one of those circular tub-shower enclosures - I've included a picture from H...
