RebeccaBea's Profile

Thanks for all the lovely comments, friends! Just wanted to put everyone's mind at ease that Amelia would never, ever, keep a lit candle on her bed like that, nor would Apartment Therapy suggest that you would... it was just a little bit of poetic filmmaking on our part. :) Glad you all enjoyed!

Thanks everyone, and thanks for the gorgeous photos, Heidi!!

You should check some of the links to other AT posts on the subject we included - esp "Entryway Solutions for Small Spaces" - we don't have time to get too specific in a 1-2 minute video! How you do it is flexible - it's just having a creative solution for each component. Comment below with your ideas!

Thanks for posting, everyone!! I have some more details. :) The home is still owned by my parents (technically, it's a long term investment). They worked with an organization called "Lutheran Services of Iowa" to help find the right family. After this family moves into a permanent home, a new refugee family will be placed there. There are many types of "transitional homes" that exist for vulnerable people in need of stable housing to get on their feet (including women and children affected by substance abuse, etc, etc.). Iowa is one of a few states who have officially volunteered to be a refugee resettlement community, so there are lots of organizations there that mobilize volunteers and special projects like this one. But every state has a Bureau of Refugee Services and if you just call them and ask what they need help with, they will let you know what household items/clothes they need or put you to work! When I was a kid my mom did just that and they said what they needed most was people just to be friends, and help newly arrived refugees practice English. We spent a lot of time as a family drinking Croatian coffee, trying Ecuadorian lasagna, etc etc. and the experience has changed all of our lives. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a way to volunteer! And if you're interested in rebuilding a house, email me and I will gladly pass on your email to my parents, who would love to help someone else do the same thing they did. It's been a terrific experience for everyone. Thanks guys and don't hesitate to ask more questions!!

That's why they're still shopping!!! :)

Hi guys!! Thanks for watching our videos, and I'm sorry it's a pain to have to click through to the actual post - it's actually the only way we can track how many people are watching, because if we just embed the video directly into the page, it doesn't register that you have opened the post. Thanks for your patience - it's really helpful for us to know how many people watch each post so we can track them. Feel free to email me with any more questions! Rebecca@apartmenttherapy.com!

This salad is insane. So. Delicious. Perfectly satisfying and yet light. The flavor is impeccable, the texture complete. Eating it is an experience of regality. Sara Kate. You. Are. Brilliant.

hi all! thanks for all the feedback about the videos! @adventrising, @lesova and @Kinky Gazpacho - so sorry about the audio levels. I am checking with an expert tomorrow to make sure it doesn't happen again, but could you let me know if you had the same problem with today's sound? Thank you!! - Rebecca (the one behind the camera!)
