That's so nice of you to think of us Canadians. Thanks! And I would fully support an AT Canadiana, but I agree - there'd have to be an east and west version please.

Hi Regina, I was wondering if you (or any AT readers) had any advice for someone looking into LEED Certification - any good websites, study tips, etc. Thanks so much in ad...

Fried egg on a homemade cheeseburger! Just throw a frying pan on the BBQ beside your patty, and you're good to go. And put some hot sauce on it to kick it up a notch. Jeez, I think I'v...

Incredibly ingenious to reuse material from another project that would have otherwise gone to waste. Kudos for taking the extra energy and designing to accomplish such a wonderful result from highw...

I just painted my bedroom the almost identical colour to the first one, and I absolutely love it! It had been a lighter green, but I wanted it to feel smaller, cozier, and that's exactly the effect...

Goonie, it definitely is the same apartment Dwell featured. It's interesting to see the different perspectives Dwell and AT provide on the same pad; Dwell seems to glamorize a place so much so that...

Or you could take a walk for free, and slowly soak up the striking warm tones!

i must commend you on the excellent staging of your home for these photos - it looks its absolutely best, that's for sure!
