No! Stop the book torture!!! Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| How To: Make A Book Headboard Flag this comment	8/14/09 5:04 PM
I like the unusual layout, but the overuse of knotty pine makes the overall effect too spastic for me. There's no where your your eyes to rest comfortably. It would be like living inside an enormous, 3 dimensional connect-the-dots. Apartment Therapy New York \| Knotty Pine Norwegian Cabin ArchDaily Flag this comment	6/26/09 11:34 AM
#2 is sweeeeet! I like #3 as well, for things that can have food-to-cover contact (definitely wouldn't work with a cake). Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Five More Plate Covers for outdoor dining Flag this comment	6/25/09 3:34 PM
Go Tuscon! This looks like a great place to kick back with a margarita after work. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| My Great Outdoors: Rudopal's Sonoran Desert Garden Flag this comment	6/24/09 12:27 PM
I love all the little details of art deco, but not so much the 'big picture' look of it. I also love well-done Victorian, but would be completely uncomfortable living in it. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Survey: What Style Do You Love, But Could Never Live In? Flag this comment	5/22/09 4:43 PM
This is great! I love the AT posts where simple and inexpensive solutions make a huge difference to a space. Apartment Therapy DC \| Using Bookshleves to Create Zones Flag this comment	5/22/09 4:34 PM
When I was painting my kitchen, I didn't realize they had mixed the wrong shade until I started rolling. It looked good, so I kept on going - and it turned out great. Looking back at my intended color on the paint chip, I think the color I ended up with is 100% better. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Good Quotes: Jennifer Morla Flag this comment	5/22/09 2:24 PM
Love it! Apartment Therapy Boston \| Two-Timing Kitchen Counter: Indoor Outdoor Flag this comment	5/21/09 8:15 PM
Cute, but not $180 cute. The easiest (and greenest) way to keep your floors clean is to switch over to pellet litter made of compressed pine. I have 5 cats, and no problem with dirty floors or the funky cat litter smell that comes with clay litter. Apartment Therapy New York \| ModKat: Litter Box ICFF 2009 Flag this comment	5/21/09 8:14 PM
This reminds me of the kitchen shelves made of milk crates featured here a while back. Sure, they are recycled and practical. But they just don't look very nice. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Cantilevered Milk Crate Storage Bench Flag this comment	5/21/09 8:08 PM
Sally305 - I agree 100%. Even if you completely gut and refinish your bathroom to get rid of the 'outdated' and 'ugly' tile and fixtures, someone, somewhere will look at your renovation and think "wow, that's really outdated and ugly!" Kudos to the folks above that had the imagination to work with what they had. They all look great!

This looks great, especially since my house is all tile/laminate flooring. Did you need to sweep before steaming? Or is the product a steamer/vacuum combo? I'm intrigued... Apartment Therapy New York \| Test Lab: Haan Steam Floor Sanitizer Flag this comment	5/21/09 12:36 PM

Reminds me of the Shady Dell in Bisbee, AZ. Love that place! http://www.theshadydell.com/index.html Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Grand Daddy Hotel's Airstream Penthouse Park Flag this comment	5/20/09 4:58 PM

Cute! But I've bought my share of specialty cat beds over the years, and my cats' favorite hidey-hole? Shoebox. Apartment Therapy New York \| Cat Beds by Vurv Design and Kilowatt Studio Flag this comment	5/15/09 7:49 PM
Agree with bepsf and sarrazak. This is purely cosmetic 'greening' so that the owner can invite his other (super-rich) friends over and they can pat themselves on the back about how 'environmentally conscious' they are. No single family home this size can be considered green unless it is completely off the grid. (I'd also bet that the owners drive to and from D.C. every day. Not green!) Blah!

Rucy - It's easy! Get a nice deep piece of wood as wide as the sill, and brace it from below with shelf brackets. Cats love 'em! (You can also add a fluffy cushion.) Apartment Therapy Chicago \| What's in Your Window Sill? Flag this comment	5/15/09 5:42 PM
Cats here as well. If I tried to put anything else on the windowsill, it would end up on the floor! Apartment Therapy Chicago \| What's in Your Window Sill? Flag this comment	5/15/09 4:35 PM
I don't own anything expensive or sentimental enough to warrant not using it. But even if I did... I probably would use it anyway! I think things that are made to be used should be used, and enjoyed.
