Gorgeous indeed, but I imagine folks that can afford them don't live in studios! Here's a $56 room divider system (made out of recycled craft paper) that creates a 4.5-foot-square section:
This contraption would be perfect for cold climates: coats/gloves/hats go on the rack (where they'd dry better than in a closet), boots go on top of the shoe rack (with an old towel underneath to c...
Funny you should mention siblings, raven ... because I was just about to do the same thing.
My beloved, a man, was a packrat and a piler to boot. When we started dating, nearly every ...
Ah, Pimms! I had my first Pimms cup on the terrace of a Corsican vacation house with my French host sister and her British boyfriend. In my mind, Pimms will forever be associated with great company...
When I lived on the main drag in Seattle's University District, I thought my block would be quiet because the notorious student dives were all elsewhere. Sadly, I neglected to factor in the late-n...
Our money showed up on Monday thanks to the Mister's low SSN digits. Some will go toward tickets for Aida and the rest will be spent sensibly paying down debt.
I like to think about what one's building would say if it could speak. I think mine would say, "I may be quite a bit older than everything else on the block, but I've still got it going on." And t...
Yes! I'm on the fourth floor, so it's not crazy high, but certainly high enough to be out of harm's way. I've grown herbs (basil, parsley, dill, chives and rosemary) before, but this year so I'm tr...
If it's a bathroom with a tub and/or shower, I'd be wary. Even if you are meticulous about wiping up water, being on constant alert for precipitation may dampen (sorry, couldn't resist) your enjoym...
My former downstairs neighbor was either a bartender or a hardcore barfly. The lease for the apartment stated that the building's quiet hours were 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., but nearly every night, he'd co...
LOVE IT, but then again, I'm a total sucker for salvaged/re-purposed stuff like this. I appreciate the "saving old stuff from the landfill" angle, but what I really adore is that a utilitarian obje...
I buy most of my souvenirs at drugstores and chemists. I like bringing back shampoo, lotion, lip balm ... the little things you use all the time. I'm a sucker for foreign-language packaging and goo...
I don't particularly enjoy lugging all my laundry to the basement and playing quarter roulette (there's about a 25 percent chance the machines will eat your quarters), but there's something very ca...
I'm with kdkaboom. I grew up in a house with hardwoods in the kitchen, and we never had anything on the floor. Even with a messy aspiring cook (me) and an untidy chef (Dad), the floor was in fine s...
ADORE the private/public benches. Stateside, I've noticed quite a few of these in San Francisco. Here in Seattle, I came across a slightly different iteration, the built-in building entry bench:

Awesome. I loved this apartment. Well deserved.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes please!
Me? Me!
Apartment Therapy rocks my world.
