I like having a place for everything, and everything in it's place, but I also like being able to close all the stuff away, out of sight. The first time this apartment was featured he...

I think I first saw a bus scroll displayed as art here on AT; it that case I loved it because it was an actual bus scroll from an actual bus a relative of the owner had actually driven. I wonder if...

I'm really liking the vintage IN and OUT (which reminds me, I desperately "need" an "&".) But that first coat rack thing makes me fear for the eyes of anyone unfortunate enough to be in its vicinity.

I love that the architectural detail is allowed to show. However, were it my house, I'd have opted for closed cabinets for storage so as not to detract from - nor compete with, the architectural st...

The West Elm lamps are gorgeous. But there's a bit of photoshop trickery there. There'll be a metal post, brass or silver-colored, running up the center of the lamp, otherwise how would the electri...

My husband got laid off from a big internet company almost exactly two years ago. Since then he's been home, consulting and writing a book. I'm home too, studying. We do spend a lot of time togethe...

Love this house so much.

I think the empty frames are the ONLY thing I like about the house. Otherwise it seems so unwelcoming.

Oh Maxwell, you had me at "Nina Crosland Wallpaper"

I have a jar of tiny light bulbs, mostly burnt out leftovers, but some from dad's garage of mostly useless wonders. I put a tag on it that reads "ideas, asstd."

Ooh, another project for the laser cutter at Tech Shop!

LOOOOOVE it. Must have.

Simply wonderful, by which I literally mean "full of wonders."

Some of America's largest most destructive earthquakes occurred in Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri, on the New Madrid Fault back in the early 19th century. You may not think you live in ...

Somebody please take this woman to DWR.

We have an Eichler with the original cabinet doors that slide. I always leave the doors open, and hubs goes around closing them after me. I lose my shoes. I take them off here and the...

I've been racking my brain to figure out a way to keep rugs from slipping around on my cork floors. To minimize the possibility of water damage, rubber backed rugs are a no-no on cork floors, so th...

One of my pet hates is bathrooms that don't have adequate storage. "Sleek" goes right out the window when I can see plastic bins full of grooming products. And that shower looks like everyone of he...

Love the hanging bedside lamps. It just makes sense. I think it could work in a living room too, with the lamps over end tables. Especially if the tables are in the center of the room, away from th...
