Love all of them, but my favorite has to be the one with the strongest visual oomph, with that enfilade effect: Jon and Ro's place in NY. Love especially how the two strongly graphic artworks on ei...

nifty tip, using blocks of ice!

Tip for those of us with small kitchens and unfortunately-located appliances, as in our case... the fridge right next to stove. (In other words, the cooling device is right next to a heating devic...

A little fresh air is nice, but a LOT of fresh air is even better. I love these designs. Any downside? I suppose there could be security risks...any Jason Bourne-type wall-scalers around? Bu...

I pronounced a Quebec City street name incorrectly and it came out "Penis street", when it should have been "Pine street". Typical anglo mistake.

Ottawa's winters are long and brutal. Previous few owners took zippo care of the original (exterior) wooden storm windows, so putty had failed and was falling off in curlicues, glass panes were bro...

Ok. It's true that every climate is different. I'm in Eastern Ontario, and it's never mangrove-swamp humid, here.

Worth mentioning that locating your laundry line in the shade would protect your stuff from sun-bleaching. As long as there's capacity for a breeze, things will dry just fine. Quickly too.

I think that merely changing the windows makes the place look snappy. Maybe some landscaping too, and it woulda been just fine as a postwar red brick home. Unless someone else knows be...

Should I stay or should I go now? Nahnahnahnah...

Beautiful windows. And check the thickness of those walls, visible at window reveals (round bathroom window: depth looks like almost a foot / 30 cm.) And truly magical effect of that main sta...

Wow. If this is the way Scandinavians dry their dishes, small wonder they have the time to have fun too. Envy. For the whole lifestyle my mind conjures.

I "third" the motion on levers, especially for frequently-used doors. We have levers on our front door and my aged parents are envious.

Rybczyski, absolutely. And you need to check out his Grow Home project. Fascinating stuff: http://www.cm...

I think there's room for larger homes on Apartment Therapy, as some of the techniques used translate well to the smallest ones. For instance, these owners' focus on natural lighting, and the extent...

One of the most powerful tools in the arsenal for small space living, especially when the dining area and the kitchen have to compete for elbow-room. Gaining that space can sometimes mean a far mor...

Do that, Creolesugar! And send us all a pic, after! LOL.

It'd be a no-brainer if we had a nice conical conifer in our garden ... this is the only time of year that I fleetingly wish the crabapple tree were something else. But we keep it quite simple and ...

oh my god look at the view out Karina's window

That tasselled curtained alcove is beautiful and very romantic... until it gets just TOO hot in there. Still, I'd be tempted to try it for a while!! We have a loft... quite separate f...
