I recommend banana boxes -- they are smaller in size and thus easier to carry than ordinary moving boxes. All the girls that helped me with my moves liked them. I usually ask a local f...

If this is not too girly for you and you're up for some DIY (or a friend is), maybe try something like this curtain made out of felt circles:

For me, the best dish towels have always been my grandmother's -- and the traditionally manufactured ones that are available in the museum shop of Textilmuseum Bocholt in Germany (Textile museum in...

Um, parents'.

When I see rolled towels, I always think of a friend in school: Whenever he was daydreaming about moving out of his parent's and into his own apartment, one very important part of his "grown-up dre...

Love the stairs!

If this was my room and my aquarium, I'd build a desk all along one wall (preferably the one with the window in the middle). On the left side, I'd proudly display the aquarium, on the right side wo...

I don't seem to have such a hard time throwing stuff out, it's just the "kicking myself in the butt and begin" part and then the "taking it out of my home" part that are difficult for me.

This'll be my first official cure, yay! *waves to everyone* from Berlin, Germany.

So pretty! (And also, "fuchsia".)

When removing wallpaper in my last apartment (in a house in Potsdam, Germany), I found three layers of hideous floral patterns and finally, on the wall, patches of old newspaper in Gothic print fro...

If this was my place, I'd do what others have suggested: Changing the hardware and accessories makes a big difference. I'd do that, and live with it for half a year. If I still hate the cabi...

Love the branches and the bird even more! I also second what MansardRoof said: This is what AT is about :o)

I don't care so much about the blue as for the combination of the wooden desk, the gray wall color (love it!), silver shelves, and the green chair :o)

I liked it, and I'm looking forward to the next issue. But I also think that if they are willing to commit to an _online_ version, they should ditch everything they learned about print...

"Record the color" is a great idea! Another tip: If you don't use custom paint colors and usually mix your own paint color by hand like I do: Because I would not be able to repro...

A very good article! Well written and pinpointed exactly :o) After all, when decluttering, you're supposed to keep the stuff that you love and/or need, so that should apply to everything that goes ...

If the gas is turned off, I will remind myself that I often don't appreciate the things I take for granted. Of course, after a few days of ice-cold showers and sandwiches or sad microwave food, you...

Clicked submit too early... AT, what about "AT Europe"? :o)
