Does this mean this couple doesn't have a living area where they could put a foldaway single bed/ottoman? How they worked out fitting a bed in the kitchen was clever. How they thought that a care...

The bones of the house are incredible and the architecture---what dreams are made of. One wonders, however, how modern one could furnish it and still reflect the house's tradition.

If you really want to see how your rooms look, take a picture and enlarge it on your computer screen. You'll see everything that's out of place and all the clutter you thought didn't matter, as we...

Great idea, especially if you paint the easel. Certainly low key. And we wouldn't be worrying about mixing up TV with art is we just built a stand and then used it for art. Sturdy easels can be u...

So many comments, but had to say I love the use of color. The Pez collection would be great without the heads (think painted dowels?) What a treat.

If you arrange the books on something as dominant as a large bookcase, the rest of the room has a chance to compete. It allows your guest to see everything equally and not be overwhelmed by the j...

Beautiful job.

Dear aj---Rachel doesn't live in sin, she lives in San Francisco. Also, what mightymanda said.

"the project demeans the memory of everyone who may have suffered pain or fear while on it. Astonishing, and not in a good way." Are you kidding? How about the project celebrates everyone who su...

De-humidifiers tend to be awfully big--I can't imagine where they would even put a small one---and they're ugly. Good solution and it uses even less electricity than a de-humidifier.

You can create what you want with different pieces--they don't have to be part of a set---upholstering them in the same fabric--and making sure the legs are the same color, will unite them.

Having a double bed in a studio screams out "this is my bedroom" instead of "This is my gracious home." The murphy bed is a great idea and, when it's closed, you can put two chairs there, or a ben...

Just another reader who LOVES this apartment. What a great job. Notable that you have li9ved there for 9 years. An apartment olike this does not get decorated quickly. Great job.

Have to disagree about using curtains instead of closet doors. It looks to me that the curtains intrude into the room more than regular doors. Also, if you have doors that open you can store so m...

1. Find something that you love and bring it home, even if it's only a yard of terrific fabric. It will give you ideas 2. Start going through magazines and tearing out what speaks to you.

Smart people. Some people would try to keep the dog out of the kitchen. This way, the dog thinks he won (important to so many dogs) and the people with whom the dog lives thinks they won. (import...

Wow! What a difference that white paint makes. Whatever one thinks of the design, it reminds us of the power of paint. Would like to see less red---although, maybe there's more red in the room.

Beautiful silhouettes.

They look like trivets that have been re-engineered so that they can be attached to the wall. For the trivets: Pier I, Christmas Tree Shops?

I use see through hanging jewelry organizers for 3 reasons(see link below) : 1. I hang them with my clothes and they're not that obvious should there be a robbery 2. I can separate jewelry by seaso...
