Forget the reno into the present, smaller apt and rental: The original apartment (as shown in the house tour) is absolutely the perfect home, period, no need to look further, just substitute my stuff for Ivonne's stuff and live happily ever after!

OK, this isn't funny: I really, really, really NEED that faux brick wallpaper behind the lamp in picture 8. Please, somebody, know what it is! Vintage ABS Plastic Shelves - $160 New York Scavenger | Apartment Therapy New York |

I don't know who Russell Brand is, so I'm just looking at an interior, and I'm seeing a pretty ugly space. Black [almost] alone doesn't equal goth. "Modern Goth" sounds oxymoron to me. Maybe I'm just not savvy--or maybe it's just heavy-handed and awkward, as it seems to me. . . . Russel Brand's London Boudoir For Sale | Apartment Therapy New York |

French finish usually isn't actually pure shellac---it's shellac and linseed or some otheroil. The oil acts as a lubricant that prevents lifting of the shellac from the surface being polished.

I love the mini-decorating project of designing a table. We have an annual, medieval Yulblot (winter solstice) feast at my house, and I even include the food in the table design. What fun! Thankgiving Tables from Flickr | Apartment Therapy New York |

The third one is sooo gracious! The silver bedroom kicks ass. The first one, however, doesn't seem to me to work as a vanity, actually: the mirror's too high and the vanity surface is too clutter with objets. . . . Improvise Vanities for Your Guests | Apartment Therapy New York |

Coincidentally, a few weeks before news of Gourmet's demise, I found a stash of several hundred Gourmet magazines in my attic--between 1960 and the 90s. They're so timelessly beautiful--in fact, the older, the more so. Even although I haven't been getting Gourmet on a regular basis for a while now, I've never been sadder over the ending of any other publication.

I find the comments here both interesting and thought-provoking. I politely disagree with inkstainedwriter that this discourse is out of place on AT. Tonky's terrific poster isn't one I'd buy, because I disagree, but it brings up the point that articles of home decor can be far from superficial decorations.

Not a recent blunder, but once I made a pate-like dish from a Finnish recipe. It involved pureeing chicken livers in a blender then adding other ingredients and steaming it. After a while, I noticed guests steering clear of that end of the buffet. I tasted the pate loaf, and it was like a gum eraser. When I threw it into the trash can, I missed the can, and the pate hit the floor and bounced. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Your Most Epic Entertaining Disasters |
