If by "shabby chic" you really mean the kind of pastel, slip-covered thing, I agree that it would be a really tough combination to pull off--one is all about straight, clean lines, while the other ...

I agree that the grammatical mistakes were distracting. As for the pictures, even though there are so many of them, I still didn't feel like I got a good understanding of the layout of the apartme...

I agree with moving the buffet, if there's room for it on that wall (or if space can be created, as retrostyleguy81 suggests). The way it is now the room seems off-balance, with all the furniture ...

Awesome post! I didn't know about this. I also like that it's such a different style of decoration from most of what's featured on AT.

Christ, Maxwell, please don't run yourself into the ground! Doing what you love is great, and all, but doing it until midnight is a very good way to make yourself stop loving it.

OK, I have a big crush on both of them. They should be the CB2 poster children.

At least as far as I've seen, Ikea's pots do not have drainage holes in them. This is really bad for plants--I've killed a number of plants in pots without holes, because the soil gets too wet and...

This is lovely! Your color choices are great, and I love the modern style that's warm rather than frigid and hospital-ish. Go Madison!

That article made me very glad I don't live in NY.

Really really nice. I went to college in St. Paul and this makes me miss it immensely.

Ack! This makes me afraid of the future. As if all the environmental degradation, Charleton Heston characters, and killer robots weren't enough, we'll also have to live in miniscule apartments wi...

My cat is generally a good cat (really!) but has recently started peeing on the floor NEAR the litter box rather than in it. It's very upsetting. Luckily it's in a utility room with cement floors...

I felt like it was actually pretty sad that he acknowledged he missed out on time he could have spent with his kids as they were growing up because he was spending every weekend for YEARS working o...

I bought the orange one and was very disappointed in the colors--online and in the catalog it looked like it faded from dark red through dark orange into light orange, but in person it was much mor...

Medium tone!

AT! Do not do this! Even crappy women's magazines make merchants whose ads pretend to be magazine articles use a different font and put "paid advertisement" at the TOP of the ad, so you don't get...

I find a bath relaxing every so often, but you have to get all your accessories together to make it an enjoyable escape rather than hot/bored/cold, as someone said. If you have a magazine to read,...

I think it's great--I don't personally care for dark blue, but I think it works here because it's done so confidently.

I'm getting a bit tired of all the posts about stores in the 14th St/U Street area. I love that neighborhood and many of its stores, but we've seen at least 4 posts about a 4-block neighborhood fr...

We're not grading the house, we're grading the post, yes? I gave the post 2 cupcakes because while I appreciate seeing something different from your "typical" AT apartment, the most in...
