Agree with the vast majority of posters here that AT has jumped the shark with this idiotic move. Just so so so far off base.

Anyone have suggestions for another home design site that features a nice variety of home tours? That's really the only part of AT I bother with anymore (and even those have declined in the past year).

@ apointe - Agree. I keep checking back for responses or updates, and am rapidly losing faith that any will be made. A community leader who doesn't listen to his community is a poor one, even in the world of the internets.

Friends of mine have a gadget along the same lines that works surprisingly well - it essentially turns a lemon/lime into a "real" version of those little squeezer bottles of juice you can buy. It gets screwed into the citrus fruit and allows you to squeeze out as much juice as you need and then store the fruit in the fridge for later use. I need to ask them where they got it, as I would use one frequently... :)

I just... I don't... what in the world were you thinking? The usability of the new site is sad. Sad, I tell you. Two HUGE issues that you should have improved - house tour slide shows and commenting interactions - were completely untouched. Instead you chose to focus on overlapping content "channels" (with the most useless names ever - "style"? really?) and outdated fonts. Also, the pages now take FOREVER to load. I hate to sound so negative, but it really bums me out.

@ tcosban - It's a bit unfair to judge people as misguided, jealous, or in denial simply because their opinion differs from your own. I hear you on the inspiration thing, and I think most readers agree that it comes from homes of all sizes (Pinterest, anyone?). BUT - the frequency of large and/or professionally decorated homes has increased rapidly on Apartment Therapy, and I would hate to see the site lose its small space/diy/home as health focus. But that's just my misguided, jealous denial talking. ;)

I think a mid-tone turquoise could look really beautiful - the coolness would really help offset all the warm tones from the trim and the adjoining rooms' paint colors.

My grandma, who was an AMAZING pie-maker, always froze her pies. She's spend a day making a dozen or so pies, pack them in old film canisters (seriously - they were the perfect size for a pie tin), and stack them in the extra freezer in the basement for future family visits. Come to think of it, maybe this is why my freshly-baked versions of her recipes never come out as well....

Not to be snarky, but could we get a re-write of this article? I really would like to know more about getting a more efficient space heater.

This might sound odd, but for my shed-tastic black kitty, the biggest difference came when I switched his food to a high-quality organic brand. His coat improved dramatically - it's now super shiny, thick, and sheds WAY less than before - and now all I have to do is brush him in the evening (which he loves) and vacuum twice a week to keep things looking nice. :)

I am in love. This is freaking adorable.
