I have to agree with sally305. I dislike obvious stylist influence too. I think that it is possible to live so far in the fantasy interior world of magazine shoots, that many stylists actually thin...

Tretchikoff and J H Lynch prints. Noooooo more. Please.

Aster said it much more diplomatically than I would have been able.

That photo of the succulents is absolutely stunning! To souk1501, a really cheap and effective way to keep birds away from your balcony is to put a kids toy rubber snake somewhere vis...

Cool, but not for soup!

I love love love this house tour. I have wondered away from AT for quite some time, mostly due to the sameness of the tours ('splashy mid century items' as someone said above describe...

The urinal one is brilliant!! Yes, they have toilets in bars all over the world.. but have you ever walked home with a bunch of blokes after they have been drinking beer all night? They will pee in...

MeganAmber, you said exactly what I was going to. Plants from Target and Ikea? What?

Loooove the couch!

How can I concentrate on the pics when that horrible American Aparel ad is flashing in my face?

This is fantastic information! I have house swapped before, but it was friends of friends (who are now good friends of ours!) so didn't use one of these sites. It went beautifully, and was wonderfu...

I love this! I especially can't get enough of that yellow at the moment. Must be the cold winter I am about to face, reminds me of being warm.

We have people over for meals at least 3 nights per week! Often more if we have guests visiting. My boyfriend is the most amazing cook, and loves to cook for big groups. We are both highly social, ...
