I love the bookshelf on casters. Where did that come from, or was is custom?

Yeah, the problem is they're only a concept design and they're not actually being produced or sold anywhere!

These are very cool. Photographer Caitlin Greer has done similar work with a dancer who is also a chemist, using her body to demonstrate chemistry principles:

How did you hang the doors? Are they in a track? Top and bottom? Gorgeous renovation!

Another thing that helps if you are absolutely stuck shooting in low light is a Light Scoop. If you have a light colored ceiling (or walls if your camera is sideways) and your camera has a place for an external flash to connect to it, this can be a great tool. (Also great for photographing people...)

How To Take Pictures of Your Home | Apartment Therapy New York

1. Elegant, matching set of shower curtain, bath mat and towels. This is a great way to introduce some color, but I would go with something soft and subtle, personally.

2. Toilet seat lid.

3. Here is another suction cup storage solution:

It is designed for kitchens but there is no reason you couldn't use it in a bathroom.

4. Put one of these:

or one of these:

On the back of your toilet tank and you can use it for storage of prettier items.

5. Get the matching toothbrush cup and soap dish and always have a good looking hand soap in it:
http://www.containerstore.com/shop/bath/countertopCollections/metal?productId=10009231
You'd be amazed what a difference a nice looking soap makes on a sink.

6. This will add a ton more storage to your shower:
http://www.containerstore.com/shop/bath/showerTub/shelvesBaskets?productId=10022356
It works like a tension curtain rod, so no damage to your tile or tub.
Or you could always go with the over-the-showerhead caddy:
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=11418635
Or you could use both if you really need that much storage.

7. To hold extra toilet paper rolls, use a large, cylindrical glass vase on the floor. It looks more elegant than one of those pole solutions.

8. You can hang lightweight artwork on tile bathroom walls by using either suction cup hooks or the removable 3M command hooks.

Hope that helps!

Definitely curtains -- something flowy and gauzy. Artwork on the walls. A colorful rug with accent throw pillows that coordinate. A table runner on the coffee table to soften its hard lines. Fresh flowers.

We got an entire glass of red wine out of a camel-colored upholstered chair with some All free-and-clear laundry detergent, a bowl of warm water, and a clean dishtowel to blot with. It took a lot of time and patience, but the chair looks like new. That said, a great deal depends on the fabric of the piece in the first place. Certain fabrics clean more easily than others.

I once fell in love with a furniture piece I saw in a Flor catalog, so here's what I can tell you: Most of their photography is done in private homes, but if you contact them they are awesome about having the stylist contact the homeowners to find out more information. I was totally impressed by the customer service considering I wasn't even making a purchase, although sadly the piece I loved had come from a flea market and was of unknown origin.
