Color or no color--up to you, really. I've found that all white in person in anything but a southern exposure feels chilly, but if you've got south light...well, lucky you! You could even do art ...

Katie.t: Love your spirit and your space! Might I echo the Murphy bed suggestion? These days, they sell mecchies for them, using your own bed. Also, I'd do a horizonal Murphy.....

We have a similar situation...so at the risk of repeating what's above (but I think slightly differently)...I'd put the courch with it's back to the windows, and behind the couch, hide the desk (ce...

Christine--you are a genius. Even just looking at your pics makes me happy...I can just imagine what it must feel like to live in your wonderful home. The winner!!!!

Puh-leeze. Prospect? Yeah, if you're not in an apartment in which every window faces an air shaft. And peril? "Wild outdoors"? Well, I guess if big city noise and pollution (don't get me ...

I read AT to see the way other people live in their spaces, and to get ideas about my own. I actually now own a few items--a rug, a set of pieces I got from Craigslist--that I "found" on AT. But ...

I don't think of myself as being attached to my stuff, although I'd be said to lose old family photos and papers...I have one box full of them. But I do have a problem with give-aways:

Love them. Just hung grass cloth-like material on a wall in my apt....it was much easier than wallpaper and looks great. It's also a way to get some really high-end material up on a single w...

Great, great colors. But does anyone else slightly cringe at the books arranged by color (see website)? Looks great but makes me queasy.

Very cute apartment. But the rug isn't a great one--if you stain the white part, it won't look great. We raised kids with patterned rugs...like kilims or oriental-type patterns--and found th...

Beautiful chair...beautiful color. Truly an iconic piece. Fingers crossed....

Is anyone else noticing a new format in the slideshow? There seems to have been a design change, and now all the apt. therapy headings go on top, and you can't see a show without constantly readju...

Only thing is...since it's the sides that are your problem, I'd hem an equal amount on both sides. Even if you're tucking the blanket in, it'll give you a more uniform, neat final look.

Boy. I just tried to lay out this piece in my small bedroom, and it pretty much fills the space! Why don't you lay it out, using blue painter's tape, on the floor and the walls (for height)?...

I'd cancel. Not that I hate Martha or anything, but the only issue that I'm the least interesting in is the annual decorating one, and if it looks good, I can buy it. The other issues only make m...

Tulip chair. A pure classic.

It's all about light, isn't it? The colors I see (for instance, in the top sun room--I'm drooling on the keyboard right now) can't be reproduced in different lattitudes (I'm in the Northeast)...

Sigh. I love my cats. But there are issues...like the fact that one just threw up a new-old mid-century piece and ruined the finish in two places (other than refinishing, by the way, anyone have ...

Totally agree with Patrick...specifically, get something simple, big, and ROUND. Even if it's not a jade disk--there are incredibly inexpensive gorgeous large charger-ish things, or even a few big...

You're doing so well! I think all of us hold onto stuff. But I will tell you it's worth it!!! I'm in the habit of regularly recycling stuff and have used Maxwell's trick of the outbox, and it wo...
