Thank goodness for IKEA. Even though I'm a college-educated professional with a good job, I can't justify spending the big bucks on DWR, Room & Board, or other high-end and/or "classic" MCM furnit...

Priss, your place is so cozy and welcoming -- thank you for sharing! I especially like photo #2 because it shows your excellent color sense. All those vibrantly red & purple textiles work beautif...

This goes way beyond interior design. You and your spouse need some marriage counseling. It won't be enough for her to get therapy... You need to get help together.

Save money by getting free moving boxes via Freecycle or another online recycling reuse website. (You can spend a LOT of money buying brand-new moving boxes from U-Haul or Office Depot, etc.)

AT, please do a House Tour with Tara!! It would be so great to see her new place in more detail. It looks amazing.

(To AmyA: By the way, the phrase is actually "free rein," not "free reign.")

Our lease says we can't paint, and the building manager is very strict about that. He comes into our apartment occasionally to do repairs, and so he would know if we had gone ahead and painted.

Adler started making ceramics when he was a teenager at summer camp, fell in love with them, and kept going from there. He's the real deal.

What a lovely place! I'm very impressed by the 300 sq. feet. Really wish we could see the bedroom, though... And I agree with Renata: please, we don't need cute vignette shots. Actual photos sh...

Beautiful but not inspiring -- the predictable result of tons of money and 3200 square feet. How exactly is this relevant to the core mission of Apartment Therapy? While the evidence of luxury is...

beautiful. love the YELLOW!

Awesome place -- you guys have personality, creativity, and real style! In particular, kudos on all the color you use. I love seeing a place that doesn't adhere to cookie-cutter modern sty...

LOVE IT! Your house tour embodies old-school AT -- warm, creative, uncurated, and refreshing! I feel newly inspired just seeing these photos. Thanks so much for sharing.

I understand your twinges of regret about your dream rug, but you guys did the right thing, I'd say. Having an extra $2200 in your bank account will buy you some more financial pea...

Thanks very much for sharing, Margaret! Your place has great potential (how I envy you that fireplace...) and I can't wait to see how it turns out when you are all settled in!

"This railroad flat is one of the better illustrations that a lot of money and high-end products have absolutely nothing to do with guaranteeing a successfully beautiful home." Hear, h...

Great tour! Thanks for sharing this beautiful home. Seeing your home on AT is especially welcome because it's so different from the many over-curated house tours w/ all the stagey p...

Love your bookshelves! A wall of well-loved and well-read books really makes a house (or apartment) a home...

* No more wistful deer. * No more throw pillows with cute stylized little birds on them. (In fact, no more birds, period.) * No faux-naive "woodland" art from Etsy or elsewhere. *...

What an awesome, creative, (not to mention eco-friendly) gift for a kid! I especially like the fact that kids can color or paint the house themselves. And like sarahez, I am very impr...
