I'm sure your significant other also yearns for that limited edition life-sized bronze statue, but currently settles for the life-sized cardboard cutout. Oh yes, I feel your pain. So l...

In their office are three adjoining desks: one for him, one for her and one for their shared intern. And lovely as it might be to have an extra set of hands or an extra brain on...

If this were my space, I'd... (a) Pat myself on the back. I agree that the flow in this room needs some work, but you have a solid base to work from, and a wonderful backdrop. This isn...

I've become addicted to the Clover at Trabant in Seattle! The machine makes a delicious cup of coffee--the only problem with it, as far ...

I would definitely mount those guitars. Having them up will make the room feel more colorful, and more a reflection of you. Plus, they'll be safer out of reach of the accidental knock-down. I quick...

I have to agree with the "too pricey for a sheet of vinyl" crowd, but there is something to be said for the advertising as a work of art, not just the painting or whatnot it represents. Colleges ar...

This place is very inspiring! My partner and I have been considering a move to a live/work situation, but I've been hesitant to give up my "home" space. I think you've managed to do both very well,...

I had a similar situation with tacky, but still functional, window blinds in my living room. I wanted to be hide them without reducing their functionality, but without using some oh-so-tacky ruffle...

Well, anything with a library ladder gets my vote. Having your bed so far from the nursery seems to me both a blessing and a curse, but definitely the best use of the space. I love th...
