I've been known to throw away people's stuff. But there's a line. It's arbitrary, but it's there. Though some might say there's not a line, I don't think that's true. Some people will save every...
I hung a decorative rug I got in Morocco over our fuse box. Except I only hung it from only three of the corners. On the bottom right side I used velcro to keep it flush to the wall...that way if...
Wander Woman -- that's so interesting -- I live in a 5th floor walk up in the East Village/nyc and always think that nobody would ever rob it because the stairs are such a HUGE pain --and if they d...
Awesome. I love when people's brains go where others don't. Especially when it grosses people out! This wouldn't work in my house (and frankly, I have enough of the raw materials already), but if...
I took Matthew's class. It DEFINITELY was hard, but well worth it. I had to laugh at the warning that hand tying springs would suck your soul out ...it's TRUE!!! It was a great class..and defini...
I see the 3rd on at 13th Street and 3rd avenue all the time and always a) want to know what it looks like inside, b) covet it... no matter what it looks like inside.
I always wonder ...
Cracks me up that the shot of the "decor" in A Room with a View is a view out the Window. Yeah...any view out an Italian window probably is great decor!!! (A favorite movie, btw!).
I have lived for a while in a nyc rental...that has gone through three owner/managers since I moved in. The rent is awesome becasue I moved into what was a bad neighborhood at the time. Long sto...
After a long term relationship broke up, I re-painted every room in the apartment, and re-decorated around a couch we had picked out together but which my ex wasn't around to see delivered (it wasn...
This house is GORGEOUS. I can't imagine it was / is less invasive though...I'm sure it took TONS of energy to move the earth that had to be moved for this, and it seems like at least the equivalen...
I saw his work on exhibit in San Francisco and while flowers and blown glass are not usually my thing, his stuff is mind blowing. Seriously amazing. A true artist. And it's not that he's just go...
Presuming starting from scratch and presuming not a lot of money to spend, here's what I would do:
Expedit Bookcase(s) as you first walk in...as posted by more than one person above, i...
First off, the room is lovely! So kudos for the design and execution. And I'm all for great solutions in small places and for planning when older. That being said...while I'm sure it works for ...
Bepsf -- you're totally right about the colors. I'm sure they could find something in the right color scheme. And you're dead on...the rooms I see in my head when I think Oriental rugs are pale ...
It's funny bepsf...I consider Oriental rugs feminine (even though I know that they are classic and not). Probably because I associate them with flowers and older female relative's fussy rooms that...
All grown up with a touch of childlike exuberance. I would live in this space in a heartbeat. I love that the Storm Trooper is baking ups something yummy for the fridge for those crashing guests ...
I call this the "Year that Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving was almost delivery Pizza."
Most epic disaster ever was the year my roommate and I moved into our little NYC apartment and d...
LOVE! I actually have a number of these (Ikea/Blue) hanging in my bathroom. I thought it would be funny to hang and then label them E. Village, W. Village, Midtown, UES, UWS, etc. The thought of ...
I do this all the time. We live in an NYC Apartment and don't have room for a dining room table. So, as part of my home office/desk set up, I got an IKEA desk with adjustable legs so that we can ...
