I'm guessing that most cities, like my city Portland, have rules for these things. I think in Portland it is 8AM and they do crack down if you complain. There have also been proposals floated aroun...

I would seriously consider NOT doing anything built in or getting banquettes. Having lived with them in previous apartments they make the space less flexible and are bulky as all get out.

I pretty much read online exclusively at this point with a couple of exceptions: I skim our local (and truly horrible daily paper) the Oregonian and like to read hard copies of the NY Times on Sund...

I would love to test it! Living in the damp Pacific Northwest (Portland) its that kind of cold that just gets deep in your bones and stays there and despite popular perception Portland does get qui...

Hi, Lizzy C from Portland, Oregon here. I think some of the comments regarding "I wish you didn't have to be rich to afford this" are a bit off the mark. I'm not sure where y'all are located but la...

I change my sheets between 1-3 times per week. It's my greatest luxury. Basically, it's because I let me dog sleep in bed with me and cuddle and changing the sheets that often keeps things clean. H...

The size and configuration of windows, door, and closet makes it awkward and a tight fit no matter what I do.

"I really don't think professional interior decorators, whose apartments have already been published, should be allowed to enter this contest." Louise16 I agree.

Oui, Apartment Therapy Europe si vous plat! I'd love to start seeing some apartment interiors from Paris at this point. The French are very well versed at making small spaces efficient...

Holy Warhol! They did not paint a Cherner chair silver...lordy! Well styled I agree, but if I had to spend more than 30 minutes in this apartment I'd feel like I was in a window display of a higher...

I studied these in grad school and wrote a paper on them. I also believe Metropolis Magazine did an article a few years ago. They have been around for a while now (over a decade) and were developed...

I agree with KellyM, why do they have to have the potter's name stamed so prominately on them? It's a major turnoff and from the above photo really detracts from the form and beauty of...

I love Sunset, but I've grown to accept it the way it is. Once in a while they will have articles that are relevent to my budget, lifestyle, and (small) dwelling size such as when they focus on gar...

Hi the headache thing is probably due to caffeine addiction that tea just wont help and your body is going through withdraw if it doesn't get its regular fix. I'm serious (google it if you don't be...

I think a bathtub in a bedroom is pretty damn sexy - as long as it isn't a shower/tub and as long as there is a more traditional bathroom somewhere else in the house.

When I was 14 I got a summer job cleaning houses (under the table job) with Service Master. I learned a lot that summer and it has served me well in cleaning my own house. I start with dusting and ...

Depends on the look you want. Since that space is so looooong, I would put two tables in there as it will make things easier to move and clean around (yes, Ikea has both legs and table tops at the ...

Rejuvination is such a great company. There stuff is a little more on the spendy side, but so well made. I'm lucky to live in Portland and have access to their retail store that has a ton of stuff ...

I have to concur with most of the other commentors. I am living with a deep saturated bathroom right now which is almost the same color as the Reflecting Pool choice above and while the drama of it...
