Hi everyone — we have some bittersweet news to share. We're closing the Forum at the end of the month. Two years ago, we opened this space, hoping it would become a place where people who love home could find each other. We've watched strangers help each other redesign rooms, debug IKEA hacks, and talk through decisions…

We have a very rustic kitchen. Our house is an 1800's log home and we really like the old rustic style( barnwood, distressed etc). We also like the old primitive country style( ex: old coffee grinder). Can't figure out the backsplash. I cannot decide which tile would look better. I do like old primitive country farmhouse…
hi guys! Im in desperate need of your help. I own a 1930’s home and even though i love the house im lost when it comes to designing the living room. Not sure what i should keep and what i should remove, and also add. The rug for sure need to be tossed, would love to get advice on what kind of sofa (color too) and rug…
I like the 2 chairs at either side of the fireplace but the 2 couches are too long to put together. I think my only option is a new couch or just leave it as is. I will include several pictures from different places in the living room. We use all even though there’s just 2 of us. First 2 pics are older the last one is…
Hi all, my boyfriend and I moved in together last year and we're redoing our home, one room at a time. Our kitchen, as most rentals go, needs a lot of TLC. Like, our cabinets all have 3 shelves which makes it hard to store stuff like our toaster etc. in it and that leads to clutter on the counter. I'd love some ideas on…
Hello all! I would love some advice on what to do with an odd living room space. We want seating for at least 4 people, and the only place for the TV is between the two wall openings. The aesthetic of the rest of the house is Scandinavian. Struggling with type of couch and if a sectional is best or a couch and two chairs -…
I would appreciate some ideas for window coverings. We are in a heritage home, our dining room windows face north. The woodwork and windows are original to the home. They will not be changing, and the paint colour was recently applied. It is Benjamin Moore Wenge - I was after black, and my husband brown. Wenge was the…
hello everyone! I need your expertise on what to do with this front yard. As you can see it is not big at all. I have changed to front door paint from off white to blue. Added some plants and stones as well. But right now i feel like it made the space smaller. I am thinking of just cementing the whole front or maybe pavers…
Hi all! Every single closet in my apartment have sliding doors and they are all covered in mirrors. Every.Single.One. Ugh! Replacing them all is not in the budget unfortunately. I am currently redesigning my bedroom and would like to figure out a way to disguise the wall of mirrors opposite my bed. All the mirror doors are…
We live in a tiny 42 sq meter rental in Italy. Our kitchen and living room is one open space. The landlord put in this huge TV very high because outlet and hook ups are also very high. How can we fix this and not make TV the focus point of the space.

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 run the Apartment Therapy community, which means I get to hang out with all of you! I also write about color and design, and as a designer, I love helping people bring personality into their homes.
