Weekends are sacred. I'm one of those people that manages to look up from my screen a few nights a week and go, "How did it get to be 10:30 again? No wonder I'm hungry..." I'm not about to sacrific...

I snapped these up at Anthropologie for Christmas gifts and managed to keep one of the black ones for myself. It's pretty fantastic.

Thanks for the heads up on requiring extra hands for my KVARTAL installation. Hey LauraII--the current issue of Bust has a great article about how to give yourself grand Winehouse-esqu...

My bathroom is just dandy, so I'll be working more on the living room this week. This weekend, I got most of the hard work done on refinishing a couple of tables. I'd like to get walls painted this...

I know it's not terribly green because it contains melamine and would be bad for you pets (or children) if consumed, but the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers have taken stuff off unlike any other product I'...

I feel behind, but I don't think I actually am yet. Likely because I've found/done things not for the week at hand while sorting out my big challenge--the living room. Last weekend, I ...

Gorgeous! I thought this might be a DIY post and am sad that it isn't because I want lighting like that.

Those shelves are glorious! So clever to use exposed framing as built-ins.

The living room is my greatest challenge, but I finally got through my cure block. Last night, I made tiny scale furniture to move around the floor plan and we decided to renew our lease. Le...

I'm in Austin, doing the Deep Treatment. I thought having a larger, nicer apartment with a better floorplan would fix the problem of things not feeling cohesive or well-arranged, but it didn't. I h...

I got my book last night and wrote out my goals. Even though my apartment's really not bad, it has felt anything but cohesive with the annual moving. Starting to figure out what isn't working is su...

I've been kicking around the idea of doing a Master's in interiors for a couple of years, and am not into the commercial side of it myself. Do a lot of self-analysis and get all the brochures from ...

Sounds like you've done a fantastic job! Clearing clutter from where they're quartered is a must, since it keeps them from feeling as though they're invading someone's private space an...

Thanks for pointing out this series! Some of these are stunning (this one is my favorite). I love that they use one closet as a pantry and the other for storing cookware and had it wired for the mi...

I agree with Maxwell's suggestions. Don't be afraid to arrange the living room in a more angled, less rigidly squared off way. The beautiful thing about your lovely space is that it lends itself to...

I second the leather. Another thing I prefer with a patina is glass (not cut glass). Jars and vases and household objects are so much better a little bit dulled. Same thing goes for pewter, brass a...

I agree with goodnightdean. I adore the first set of cane chairs but maybe not with botanical fabric--could be way too summer house. Hollywood Regency is hard to go wrong with. But if...

Even if you're handy enough at sewing to make a dress or pillows, there's an excellent chance you can't do justice to the clean lines of contemporary furniture. There's no room for mistakes there. ...

I'd never have that carpet in my house, but I think it works fine in a beach rental color-wise. Just pull it (or a lighter shade of it) into some accents like silky pillows. Target has nice ones th...

I use mine for what Mrs. Meyer's can't get out (which isn't much). Mostly for the moving into a new apartment and want to make sure it's *really* clean. The eraser took up dirt that hands and knees...
