I love this comment thread. Grew up in the Phoenix area and now live in southern AZ... if you've never been here, you have no idea how awful it can be.

Nice to see Arizona represented on AT! Your home looks well thought-out and nicely edited. I'm also glad to see sources that are more accessible to me and aren't from some obscure, hip store in the L.A. area. Style is a bit hard to come by in this state sometimes.

Great home! Where are your pillows from (on the couch)?

@Kpaige13: I'm pretty sure that sofa is from Copenhagen (or Denmarket, if you have one). I own the couch version of it. Wasn't horribly expensive as far as couches go but the padding is kinda sagging and losing its modern lines.

if my apartment photos and style tray are about the same as last year, is there a fast way to kick them up to the front (since i assume the ones in the pool are arranged by date)?

About mail to previous tenants - I used to stuff mail in students' mailboxes when I worked at my dorm's front desk, and here's what we were supposed to do when the recipient no longer lived there:

- Put diagonal lines or X's through any bar codes... usually on the front of the envelope, but check for orange ones on the back too. This will prevent the mail from being redelivered.
- Using a big/brightly-colored marker, write "Return to sender: Attempted not known" on the front.
- Send that sucker off in the mailbox.

I still do this with my own mail and I THINK it's reduced the amount of junk mail I get.

The green is a brave choice, but I'd consider refining your edges a bit... the uneven line in the fireplace photo is pretty distracting to my eye.

Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Are You Ready For The Fall Cure?

Thanks to everyone who replied (and actually bothered to talk about hangers with a narrower shoulder width... *cough*). Because I'm not made of money (yet), I decided to go with the candy-colored IKEA Bagis hangers. After I bought them, I realized that 15" hangers would probably be the perfect size, but these will do until I can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on hangers. I'm working to at least replace all my hangers with the IKEA ones so it'll look uniform. Thanks for your input, AT!

when is the fall cure starting? in maxwell's e-mail tuesday, he said it would be starting tomorrow (which i thought would mean wednesday)... but don't they usually hype it up well in advance?

is there nothing cheaper out there? i have some drum shades sitting on some pretty unsubstantial ikea bases and i'd love to switch them out with something more stylish.

verizon. i'm in southern arizona. i haven't really had any problems with them. their coverage isn't 100% infallible as they'd like you to believe, but it's fine. plus i know a lot of other people who are on verizon and i get free calling to them. i just use a basic-ish $40 plan and it gets me by.
