Nice illustrations . . . but neither of the Dürer images is an engraving. "The Women's Bath" is a drawing, and "The Men's Bath" is a woodcut. Quick History: Public Baths & Bathing |

I love the red tools at your desk -- chair, typewriter, pincushion -- and the clipboards hung as inspiration boards. Great idea! Andie's 1940s Bookish Queen Anne Condo House Call |

I really don't like that Apartment Therapy seems to ignore its own stances across its subsidiary blogs. This product flies in the face of the ethos of Re-Nest, for example, because it comes in a plastic bottle made for one-time use, which cannot easily be repurposed. You tacitly say so yourself by highlighting MIO's "fun flip top cap." Please -- a cap is not fun, it's just a freakin' cap. Your readers are intelligent enough to prefer well-written, transparent posts that don't sound like they come from an advertiser. Product Review: MiO Liquid Water Enhancer |

To me, the aesthetic appeal of a collection of National Geographics comes from several continuous feet of yellow spines. Thus, I don't quite care for the grayness of the shelf's interior. I think it would have looked good if he had saved the spine segments he'd sawed out, cut them down to about an inch-thick panel, and glued that panel to the interior back of the shelf. Such a step would have created more complex visual interest by preserving the continuous horizon of yellow but altering its stages of depth. DIY Idea: Recycled Magazine Shelf Inhabitat |
