I was in Western Ukraine last year and found that apartment dwellers all have personalized doors. It's odd at first, but I grew to really like it. They don't just have decorated doors, but entirely...
I'd use it to clean all the weird dust that settles in my apartment from the rehabbing my landlord seems to be doing to every apartment above me. Now if it could only eliminate paint and sealant fu...
Many years ago, when I lived in St. Louis, I had to dodge a huge woodchuck on my way to my car after work. I had no idea what it was. A helpful security guard filled me in. I also ran into the occa...
That post about Humboldt Park reminded me of how much I love the ferns in the Garfield Park Conservatory (and how much I miss living in Chicago). If you live in Chicago and haven't been, I'd recomm...
In New York, all hours are fair game for noise. Luckily, in my neighborhood, there are no lawns to speak of, only the 7 train and garbage trucks. You get used to those. When I lived in the Midwest,...
I adore your kitchen chairs, and the fact that you're so ably representing my hometown. St. Louis apartments always seem to have so much character. Well done.
When I cohabitated, my boyfriend threw everything wherever (and expected to find it back in its usual spot) and cleaned either the bathroom or the kitchen about once every three months. So yeah, th...
I moved recently and have a closet in need of some organization. It has so much space in such odd places. I know it has potential, I just need to harness it. My tennis rackets and sewing machine ne...
I used to hate laundry before I started using a fluff and fold. Costs about the same as doing it myself, and my clothes are much less likely to fall apart now since they read labels very carefully....
Like the choice of a hidden gem, but I found the post itself too wordy and self-consciously hip. It didn't feel like AT to me. Also, I'd prefer to see the store instead of the poster's apartment. T...
Oh, where to start? Probably a root vegetable stew while it's still cold. On to veggie chili, irish oatmeal, and ever more wonderful meals waiting for me when I get home. How nice that would be.

Honeysuckle, watermelon, and summer rain.
Why don't you avoid the issue and sublet for the remainder of your lease?
The Hirschhorn has always been my favorite D.C. museum. Thanks for the great post on this fantastic collection.

What a fantastic apartment. I adore your unique style. A nice break from the cookie cutter places we've been seeing.
Books, always books. All my shelves are filled, and my one decent closet has a few boxes in it.
My family is in St. Louis, and they all felt it. The last aftershock rattled my mom's downtown office building.

I always thought the den had a certain panache. Must've been Woodstock's influence.

I've got one, and I love it. Feels nice underfoot and is a snap to keep clean.
Salmon is the absolute worst color. I once lived in a building with hallways painted in a glossy salmon. No, it wasn't the 80s. Yes, it was horrible.
