If you don't mind a more old-fashioned design, there are usually a lot of victorian through art deco wardrobes for sale on craigslist for really cheap (the hassle of moving I guess). At least where...

I think craigslist (depending on where you live) and ebay will be your best bets here. Search for "Louis bed" -- painting the frame white and reupholstering the head and footboards are not too hard...

Are you kidding me? New York is so much more walkable than San Francisco. I've lived in both cities. I think Walkscore can only tell you so much.

Does anyone know where glass and brass coffee table in the first picture is from?

I'm really not sure how you're ever going to feel at home without your pet. Any chance of the boyfriend trying to live with the cat? It will definitely be hard for him at first, but a...

I second jawasano, our beloved family cat used to "guard" me when I was a baby by patrolling around my crib and sleeping at my feet. He even appears in a portrait of me as a baby that my grandmothe...

It's great to see people that appreciate art deco tiles and bath fixtures! I have them in my current apartment and really love them. My fiancé and I have been house-hunting and I can't tell ...

Kudos Chris and Mike! This is the first entry I've gotten really excited about. Love your style and your use of color. I especially love the dining room with that beautiful Chinese cabinet and the ...

I'm a sucker for animal lamp bases.

Here's the short pitch: I love to test things out and am good at product reviews, I print everything from Word documents to high-res photos, and the printer I used all through college ...

I sympathize with the "too much brown" syndrome. It seems like every piece of furniture in our living room is wood and most of it is in the same deep color. This is because most of it was inherited...

Hey, welcome to the East Bay Maxwell, SaraKate and Ursula :)

1) Lucy 2) 1 "chandelier" set in black, 1 "iron vines" set in mint or white (see #3), 1 "flock" set in silver 3) My fiance and I have a bathroom with good bones -- that is, cool art de...

I think room was made for "Trading Spaces" or some other HGTV show. Maybe that one where they copy a designer room for a much smaller price? I think you do have to pay out of pocket for that one (u...

Take it from a woman whose fiance has a huge collection of rubber ducks (all colors -- from devil duck to mail carrier duck), the bright plastic Simpsons action figures just ARE NOT going to go wit...

Hi Eliza, From the 5 options on your blog, I like number 3 best. Your kitchen cabinets look very chic, by the way. Personally, I think something more pictorial would look great conside...
