We took our time and added a patio, a new fence, landscaping and outdoor furniture and decor. One year at a time. We're really…
I never have been. My closet is always a mess. Things are thrown everywhere. I don’t put them back after I try them on my spare room. Looks like it exploded with clothing and shoes. I will take any advice on getting organized. It’s not in my spare room, but even though I have my calendar on losing things I also have severe…

I’m Apartment Therapy’s Editor-in-Chief, keeping an eye on all things lifestyle and trends. Based in East Orange, New Jersey, I'm obsessed with organizing, gold accents and hosting theme parties.
I left teaching in 2001 to start Apartment Therapy and help people create homes that are beautiful, organized, and healthy. Now, I call a lovely Brooklyn apartment home where I live with my daughter.
I’m a design writer and community builder here at Apartment Therapy. I started my career in magazine publishing, telling stories about style and home. Now, I help people bring those stories to life through color and design. I live in upstate NY with my husband and our very opinionated Basset Hound.
