apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's almost August. Are you still in town? This month we're blogging the places you call home when you're not actually in yours. We'll be looking at the distinctly more relaxed vibe of summer retreats and second homes of all stripes, everything from campsites and boats to the amazing camp you're building for Burning Man or the lakeside languor of that place in Tahoe you've been visiting every summer since you were a kid. August is ESCAPES month.

Help us along with this collective escapism: if you've got a great tip or pictures of a special retreat that you'd like to share here on AT:SF, e-mail us here.

In other bloggy news, you may have noticed last week that there were a few more PNW-related posts here than usual. That's because we've added Danielle Henderson, a Seattle-based blogger, to our team. We're very excited to have her on board and hope those of you up north and even those of you right here in the Bay Area will enjoy her writing as much as we do.

Last but not least: if you've got something to share or a question to pose or anything home design-related, you can always e-mail us. We're open 24/7.
