Yeah, a bit belatedly, I agree with cowbark...finding out that there are over 1,000 co-curees (with probably a good chunk of them on the east coast) is kind of overwhelming. That said...

Now that Domino is gone, I would have to say World of Interiors is my favorite shelter mag. It is in a completely different vein, but still showcases unique and extraordinary spaces in a non-whitew...

I don't know...I was not really impressed. As others have pointed out, there are some laughable typos, and the writing is pretty stale. Some of the images are gorgeous, but one of the cons of the "...

what a sophisticated, beautifully arranged space! when I looked closely, I noticed "budget" pieces from places like Ikea, CB2, west elm, etc. -- but you would hardly realize it from the cohesive se...

one of my favorite movie sets ever! thanks for featuring this.

I graduated in 2007 ... have moved three times since then: to my first post-college apartment in Old Town (Chicago) then to my parent's house after my lease ended in June (to save money and because...

Yeah, jmorey pretty much has it right. I did something similar with my coffee table (and actually painted it bright yellow!). I didn't prime, though I should have....I sanded it *really* well and t...

my dad's a major wine aficionado (or oenophile, if you want to get technical) and he's been getting Wine Spectator for as long as I can remember. he really looks forward to every issue.

small space? haha. my whole apartment is 300 square feet. sorry, I don't mean to snark. good luck with your decorator search!

I have the same problem...my tiny kitchen only has one 8" wide drawer, and I don't even have any wall space. I finally found these expanding (spring-loaded) drawer dividers from the Container Store...

Chiasso has several modern convertible sofas under $2,000...a few of them are even on sale. I have no idea what the quality is like, but I have a feeling it would be a little bit better than Urban'...

ahhhhh noooooo!!!!! First Blueprint, now this?!

tse moana, it looks like a copy of Jonathan Adler's Dora Maar vase: http://www.jonathanadler.com/sh...

god, I wish I had a coat closet -- my single closet is kind of a joke.

I've had this box in my wish list for awhile now ... it's so unique, but given the present state of the economy and my bank account, I'm more concerned with paying for groceries and utilities. Now ...

definitely my west elm overlapping squares daybed. I use it as a sofa, a bed, a desk (yes, I do schoolwork and read in bed!) and even (ahem) a dining room seat all at once. In a tiny studio every p...

I'm paying $1495 per month for a 300sf studio at 82nd and York (UES/Yorkville). Building has an elevator, but no laundry, and is far from the subway... Considering that my rent is more than d...

Timely post! I'm on the hunt for a runner myself. I'm hoping for something colorful because the rug in the main room (which the hallway leads to) is seagrass. I am considering Dash & Albert's flame...

By the way, comicgeek, I'm so sorry I forgot to respond to your query - the first desk was an ebay find from sugarbarrelantiques, the link is here:

Thanks so much everyone for your comments! I'm going to wait until I find the perfect piece (I do have a month before school starts). It seems my initial hunch -- Craigslist -- is going to be my be...
