i have a wood chaise lounge and a painted/powder coated metal bench (roxi-ikea) that both have cushions on them. just got em, but i keep the wood under a tarp (from home depot) and bring the cushio...

cool murphy bed! i dunno if a dining table can be used for an everyday desk, but i use mine for projects. every dedicated 'dining room' i've seen in my life looks abandoned 99% of the ...

i love smeg. unfortunately, as with most stuff that looks cool, i think it's about 2-3x as much as a more standard looking equivalent and i'm never able to bring myself to pay the coolness tax.

Village Green in LA. Though it's more the utopian-design-better-living-for-the-people modernism as opposed to expensive-furniture-store modernism. But it's much more centrally located than some of ...

Yea, a good reminder not to buy things online where you need to see the fit and finish (furniture, clothes, etc.). Urban outfitters is mostly geared towards college kids so they usually have dormro...

Aside from all the other reasons this is bad, books are effen heavy. Books make moving a misery. The "looks" shown here would probably be 5-10 heavy boxes worth. Books are a pain in the ass to acc...

"Yes, you'll save a bundle" not so fast! I know plenty of DIY projects that cost WAY more than alternatives. I built my own industrial 'simple' shelving and after 10 trips to home depo...

This is done probably 99% of the time to cover a problem, and that's what it looks like. Can't imagine it as a design choice.

Having everything clean and taken care of makes all the difference. First priority is to fix broken things and refinish peely surfaces. I'd rather keep a style I'm not in love than do some DIY to a...

cool planters. it's funny the note about the molding. cuz i noticed the interesting moldings throughout the house but how they're almost embarassedly covered up with white instead of ...

i actually had a washer/dryer as a renter, but have no room for one in my condo. i don't mind though. it's just a few yards away and forces me to be a little more efficient about laundry (can't let...

I had this growing up in the 70's! One caveat: cats WILL rip this to shreds.

I say ignore em or be very short and blunt and close the door immediately, same with telemarketers. I always hemmed and hawed and tried to be nice and this would eventually make them extremely nast...

i think it's kinda cool. maybe i like creepy stuff :-\

i've loved those saucer planters since i saw em at the wired living home. one of the best things there actually. reminds me of old tomorrowland...

totally agree. it's nice to see AT giving tips and DIY's to create a 'home' - not just furniture fetishism or house envy like most design resources.

kinda cool, you can even do other colors. but how do you get the fabric strips off and on again?

I agree, dining rooms always felt kinda wasteful and lonely. Just sitting there emtpy most of the time. I like the idea of a multi-purpose project room to put the big table to use. You just need lo...

I find the premise of the show disturbing, or maybe I'm just reacting to the choice of the Madonna Inn to exemplify something bad. Does the whole world need to be carbon copies of Dwell magazine sp...

it's difficult to touch broken glass and dishware without getting cut. i think the safety problem would overrule any practical usage.
