Have to agree that this is one of the top 5 AT homes of all time (and it's not even an apartment). "clutter" is crap that gets in the way - these objects look like well-integrated parts of these pe...

Gorgeous build. I'm redoing my apartment, and I'm replacing a fireplace with a wood stove - I love yours - what is it? It looks like one of the Danish stoves imported by Wittus - maybe the trendline?

tuckersmith I've had the Hemnes day bed with drawers for about 4 years, and I've used it daily, and it's in great shape. A couple things: Hemnes is extremely heavy ...

I have two sapiens and then I got a couple spines and they are so dramatically inferior in both function and aesthetics that I had to sell them (one unopened) and even at a 40% loss. ...

CJL describes this hatchet job well. My vote: I sometimes shop at IKEA because it is sometimes the best ecological choice. IKEA designs its goods to fit into the "waste in...

She's so cheap! I use the more colorful $10 bill sheets, it's much cuter. hilarious and unlimited true comment from somedudeinvicenza: "Finally, I love all the "how bourge...

What with the 7 orphans I took in and all the ironing I have to do each morning to get them to not get beaten at school, I could really really use this steamer. Though, of course, I'm probably not ...

There's some middle ground here, but having been involved in a project to get an American-style library built in (recently re-devastated) Haiti, it was really astonishing that people would donate 9...

"hiring the wrong contractor" - thanks for that tip - that was my next step, but now that it's indicated as a mistake I'll drop my craigslist services wanted ad: "Seeking Wrong Contractor - unlimit...

Thanks, KTG, I was on the verge of a flame for the misleading link labeling.

Cheaper and less energy demanding to ship from Europe to East Coast than to truck from California to East Coast... just saying.

lj66, Thanks for your amazing comments and responses - and again, it's great to see your iterative, responsive design process, where your experience is used to continually improve the space. ...

In the libraries that I've worked in, donated books are used exclusively for fund raising. The books get put out during the book sale to raise special use funds (the highest impact kind of money).

Gorgeous, thanks for sharing. This is what AT is supposed to be about. I'm moving my loft slowly and surely in this direction and wondering how much head room there is in the sleeping space? How mu...

These things START at $500,000 but there's no way that the one pictured is that cheap. Lame RV's cost $800,000 - with this interior, this thing must be pushing toward $1,000,000 delivered. Which pu...

Warm while still simple which is hard - great job. I wish there was a picture of your sleeping loft in there. I need ideas! How much head room to do you have up there? Is it enough?

@Eeka - you're going to have name those "other problems." And maybe add some documentation. Otherwise you just sound like another margarine advocate - warning people away from something healthy and...

Nice shape, and great color, but there's nothing eco-friendly about shipping that chair from Thailand to Washington, DC.
