I don't like open wastebaskets in the bathroom! Considering the sorts of things one might throw in a bathroom trashcan, do people REALLY want to see your refuse?
I would relocate it to a smaller wall, if possible, in a spot where it would fit *just* inside, so that the placement looks deliberate. It looks like it's floating in space, and because it's such ...

I would like to see the "apartment" back in Apartment Therapy. Slideshows of gut-renos and 3,000 sf spreads are usually not applicable for apartments. I want to see more apartments furnished for ...

The only reason why I don't like having a massive collection of framed photographs on any flat surface in one of the more "public" rooms in my apartment is because, frankly, I hate having to dust!
Our cat, Munchausen, has successfully killed off all of our plants, one by one. Now that our windowsill garden is plantless, he'll just sit there and play with the dirt and lick the pots.
My apartment-living history includes two stints in basement apartments. The first one I lived in was very bright and airy, despite nothing but frosted glass windows, which could be claustrophobic ...
