I trust professional movers with my stuff much more than my sorry-out-of-shape-arse and my slightly-less-out-of-shape husband. Pro movers are quicker, we don't hurt ourselves, and neither one of u...

The Blue bin program is freakin' awesome... unfortunately, it's limited to buildings of 4 units or less.

I love the idea of a deep peacock--what's wrong with making the kitchen pop? Anything that makes a basement unit look brighter is a plus in my book.

Second, but then I'd go nuts with paint color. Paint's cheaper than a quality rug.

Are you kidding me? This is germ-phobia to the max.

We had a similar problem (where to put the TV?) in a similarly-sized room (20 x 12). Our solution: an electric projector screen, installed in the ceiling over our sliding balcony doors. We get to...

I'm still subscribing to Met Home, even though I haven't been crazy about modern design for over a year now.... Love Cottage Living and Domino (although I agree with those who think Do...

Ah, but you neglected to mention their most egregious selection: the Pritzker mansion in LP! Or am I the only person who read that thinking "WHAT?????"?

Ah, but what if you've got eclectic tastes? Or more pressing needs than love? Purchase one: we bought for love. Gorgeous, vintage-but-rehabbed, spacious 1 bedroom in Kenwood. We lov...
