Having a small apartment helps - no place to stash useless stuff. Although if you're truly a hoarder I guess having a spot for everything isn't really a concern. Can you imagine how much money ge...

What do people think about white floors? I'm thinking about it, but I'm afraid it will be too hard to keep clean. Even light wood floors show every speck of dust and cat hair.

Maybe bamboo roller shade? bamboo outdoor shade? We had something similar in my last apartment that we got from home depot, but we didn't mount it as nicely.

Easyenough, Unless someone reports you (any neighbors who might want to blackmail you?) I don't think the city can find out. If someone does report you, an inspector will come out and...

I bought a Crate and Barrel sofa online from the clearance section after I had obsessively searched in vain for about 3 months. It was one that I fell in love with in the catalog but never got a c...

I like mixing contrasting wood colors. But you have a LOT of light wood. I would leave the table as is, paint the chairs white or another bright color for some pop, and seriously think about pain...

designgurl, Parsons might be a good design school but they are very proud of the fact that their interior design program is NOT accredited. Leanne, Unfortun...

SD913, wallpaper usually goes above a chair rail because the wall below it traditionally has wood paneling.

Definitely unbalanced -- things that are too 'equal' look static and more boring. There's a design rule that things in multiples (rows of lights, framed photos, etc.) should be in odd numbers for ...

Rachel, I've made a few table tops out of cypress and haven't found anything that keeps it looking exactly like the beautiful original color. Polyurethane is the closest to clear I've found, and i...

My first apartment when I got married 3 years ago was a tiny but adorable garage apartment in a beautiful old neighborhood, but we had to move on because it didn't have a real kitchen and I love to...
