My boxer is a big snuggler and because we couldn't bear to ban her from curling up with us sometimes, we bought a designer sofa on Craigslist for our media room so that we could have something nice...

Ha! I used to have a chinchilla and he wore that pissed off expression all the time! They are quite good jumpers and do look very cute perched on furniture, but they do leave poo everywhere and che...

Also, if you have a dog and no yard, you'll want a neighborhood where you don't feel in great danger for that last walk at night, or if there is a middle-of-the-night emergency.

LOVE it.

Neighborhood, definitely. While space is nice, it will get claustrophobic pretty fast if there's nothing to do and nowhere to go without getting in your car. I'd say hunt very hard...

I have a Neo Sectional (sold at DWR) in a small room that is largely used to watch...

I live in DC, and I've lived in the South. DC is definitely not in it. For starters, the gays are out, there's a liquor store every 200 ft, there are no local Halloween or Harry Pot...

You've taken components I would never look at twice, and put them together in a fresh and original way - I like it!

Agreed. I love what I see, but I can't give a thumbs up for one hallway.

I've been a renter (outside of NYC) for the last 16 years. 16 years and 10 apartments - the last 7 years in two apartments in the same building. I love renting. Here are my tips for a happy rent...

I love the look of open shelves, but yeah, to pull this look off yourself in your own home, there are a few caveats. (1) If you either live in an urban area or have small kitchen where...

More importantly, where did you go sailing in Turkey? On a gulet, I assume? I'm looking at a gulet trip for this September and wondering where you went and how you liked it.

My partner and I (and our 2 large dogs) lived in a 650 sq ft apartment for 8 years. It was fine, but we recently upgraded to an apartment that is 1000 sq ft, and it feels much more luxurious.

I agree it brightens the room considerably, but I rather like the warmer texture of the exposed brick.

The contest rules state that only US residents can receive prizes - I assume there is some legal reason this is the case. So to Rajiv go bragging rights, but no $$. Congrats to the wi...

Whoops, wrong fantasy ;)

I also wake up in Ione Skye's bedroom, with Ione Skye next to me in bed.

Congrats to the winners! I particularly love the 'small' winners apartment - their place is gorgeous and use of color just stunning. Also, it looks like they've got space for more furniture, and ...

JFS - my mom lives in just that corner of NYC, and I love that neighborhood. I walk my dog in Morningside Park, feed the peacock in the gardens at St John the Divine, shop at the bookstore (what's...
