If you cook a lot these are totally impractical. You can't get a measuring spoon into them, they probably aren't very airtight and, most importantly, spices should be stored away from light. If you...

Great headline. Joe Strummer, rest his soul, would say sell it. Even after a huge amount of work it will only approximate what you really want.

I think room #2 is nearly perfect. I just wish the artwork (or mirror?) between the windows was hung a bit lower.

Holy moly, is this beautiful. I'm actually feeling a fair amount of texture here already--the rugs, ceramics, the gorgeous fireplace--but I've no doubt your plan to integrate some older, non-MCM pi...

When I was growing up in a suburban subdivision, the neighbors across the street would spend the day after Thanksgiving setting up the four wired-for-sound angels around their front yard fountain. ...

My living room rug. It's huge and came with the place, and so has worked, but is so ugly I'm just counting the days until Crate and Barrel puts the rug I want on sale. Is there a usual time of the ...

I arrange my books alphabetically by author, giving no thought to the color of the spines. (Otherwise, I'd never find anything.) For me, the general "heft" and multi-colored punch that books give a...

Feeling neither here nor there about the aesthetics and politics of pheasant feathers, but this is definitely one of those humungo, bothersome centerpieces that make it impossible to see and talk t...

I love Russell Brand! This place doesn't strike me as "goth" at all, in fact it looks more grown-up and less outre than I would expect his lair to look. He certainly isn't the only one to make the ...

Another sad day for shelter mags and magazines in general. I've subscribed to MH for years and always found it more accessible than Elle Decor, less dogmatic than Dwell and far more relevant than s...

My routine is mundane but those shingles are gorgeous.

Wow. I have lived in Manhattan for 29 years and have been asked to remove my shoes at someone else's home exactly zero times. I guess my friends and I are slobs. And take off my smoki...

Among many other things, I look around and see my Grammy's maroon club chair with the carved wood feet, the most luxuriously comfortable reading seat in the house; the inlaid mother of pearl octago...

Thank you so much, AlixF. I am at my wit's end.

Dear ATers: I am desperate. Truly desperate. The carpenter who began building built-in bookshelves/drawers in my bedroom on site has taken a powder, leaving me with a half-finished pr...

For those giving up paper towels and other cleaning products, two words: Microfiber towels. Those babies can clean and dust anything. Wet, they do a great job on everything from general grime to wi...

MUST. HAVE. TOP. BEDSPREAD. Emma, please help! Will trek to Stockholm to pick up!

As a former music journalist, I probably have at least 1500 pieces of vinyl--sitting downstairs in storage, alongside a trove of very expensive, extremely wonderful sounding old-school stereo equip...

Having spent two months testing approximately 15 different shades, I just used BM’s Pigeon Gray to paint my 11 x 20 bedroom, which has two big windows but very little natural ligh...

Fifteen years ago I bought a six-drawer queen-size captain’s bed from Gothic Cabinet and now I can’t imagine living in Manhattan without it. Sure, itâ€...
