Do they have two copies of the same couch, or was it scurrying between rooms between shots? And for NYC, that outdoor space is absolutely lovely. Everything's relative.

Is the tension sufficient to hold the pictures if you open a window and a strong breeze blows through the room? If not, I could see this being a big mess.

I've had good and bad experiences with Overstock. And I think the rule is, don't ever try to return anything. I only buy if the price is low enough that I wouldn't care if it sucked. So I've got...

I bought a super-thin profile ladder from Home Depot. It's exactly the height of my fridge, and fits in the inch and a half between my fridge and the wall. I use it far more often than I expected...

So the "hack" was... a slipcover?

excellent link, laila! i now have a new project...

I miss living in Germany. Apartments with this level of architectural detail are shockingly easy to come by.

It seems to me that if you lost any width from the room, it would start to feel cramped. I'd recommend artwork for visual interest, but not furniture. If you absolutely do need some storage/displ...

I add to the chorus of people who like the pink. And, if you're going to change it, I vastly prefer the prints you have laid out to the choices in the survey. It's a very serene space, it can aff...

I'd go for a high-gloss black. It would be visible against your dark wood floors, but not so funky as to be distracting (your wall color is pretty traditional). The high gloss would also make it l...

i was just in PB this weekend, and saw this stuff in person. at first glance, it seemed nice, and then, on closer inspection, it just gave me a bad feeling. it was like thinking someone is attrac...

it CAN work, but every real house/apartment i've ever been in that uses this technique has felt wrong. most of the time it reduces available floor space and gives the feeling that you've interrupt...

I think these are charming. And HBC blankets were _always_ products (iconic products, but still products), so these pieces are just taking design from one product and placing it onto another - ver...

given the tremendous square footage and open views, the designer did a remarkable job of making the space feel small and cluttered.

the sense i got from the article was that they didn't exactly buy a cohesive "victorian" - it had been renovated many times over the years, and in a haphazard way. so they probably weren't pulling...

my tub had the exact same "stains" - and previous posters are right, they aren't stains at all, they're manufacturer-created texture spots to reduce slip risk. i got the dark color out with soft s...

before clicking through and seeing that the blue parts on the seat of each cushion were blue embroidery, i thought it looked like someone had sat down on each cushion with an inky rear end. not th...

many people happen to HAVE columns like that in their apartments - they're structural. could you DIY and wrap a structural pole in the stuff that kitty posts are made out of? jute, perhaps? (obv...

sorry, "if"

of i put drawers down there, where will harry potter sleep?
