Love this post! That photo is perfect. I like that it is a real, grown-up decorating dilemma...not just "what kind of slipcover should I get my futon." It's informative too!

Wow! I was the one who emailed this to Decorno, and I'm so glad it made it on to Apartment Therapy! I had no idea that so many other companies had the same horrible practice. I think it's definitel...

Weird...I sort of have the same problem. I'm embarrassed to say that my cat actually peed on my West Elm Thompkins sectional (fabric is light gray cotton/linen). When it happened I took the cover o...

Thanks guys! I had nightmares that ya'll would say it was hideous to begin with or something... Now I have some great sources in case I decide to take on the task. AT readers are awesome!

We have this as our dining room table, but with the dark brown top. It's just me and my husband in an apt. so it's pretty much the perfect size for our dining nook. It's pretty narrow so it can tec...

We have the West Elm sectional (called Thompkins)! Full disclosure: one side of the floor model from the store near our apt. was on sale for $300 (original price: $1,300) and it wasn't damaged or a...

I have to disagree. She speaks Italian, she's had her own catering business, her recipes are easy, fresh and really good. I don't think she's just there for eye candy, and besides: I'd rather watch...

Ha, thanks @Dani...how sadly the little things get lost after you've moved away :(

Love this chair-- it's also comfortable (but maybe not for long periods according to @felix). I imagine hanging 3 of them on pegs on the wall, shaker style, and pulling them down for a party.

Eek I mean Capitol Hill!

@teamnap: Retrofit is an awesome store, and it is located in the neighborhood called Capital Hill, above Seattle. Other places to check out in the area are: City Home Store, Foxmaid, Area 51 (this ...

@Khakigrl: I say yes, eat the rind. I know I kind of hated it at first, but I think with a good Brie it's fine. Especially since you must cut a triangle wedge on the diagonal instead of beheading i...

I'm pretty sure the counter isn't even granite. . .it's faux to save on cost. I dislike ubiquitous granite as well. Michael never should have been kicked off, and thank goodness Tracee...

Holla back Eames, woo woo!

And did you know people COMPLAIN about this new shape? Read this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/bu...

Tell them you work for a magazine and you're scouting for products. I actually did work at a magazine and did this at every store I went in to (I actually was taking them for editorial, so it wasn'...

The human condition basically boils down to this: we want what we don't have. Does everything really have to be attainable? There is something to be said for excellence in craft and quality, and no...

I can tell you right now that those fabulous digs are somewhere in Cali, not Seattle. thurdsay was right with the street sign comment, not to mention the surrounding flora. But why al...

I think I am over damask...

comicbookheroine-- I grew up in Sammamish too, and my best friend lived in the neighborhood above this home (Highland Park). When I saw this photo of it, it's like I knew that was the ...
