overlooked
With shifting of Comments, all references to Hee Yeon Hwang's apartment have disappeared. Apartment Therapy owes an apology to Hee Yeon Hwang and to readers. I say to Hee Yeon Hwang: Nice use of pastel palette. Not too juvenile.

Tiny NYC kitchen gets a maximalist...
I'm not "arty" and all I can think is a cow exploded in here. It's awful but if she's happy, I'm happy for her.

Rules for commenting perhaps, or no comments
I read the B&A comments and chime in occasionally, and what strikes me is that it is a place where everyone feels they have the right to criticise B&As "like" a professional, but without necessarily any use of constructive comments, courtesy, fairness or kindness.

One Good Thing: My Favorite Kitchen Towels (What are yours?)
When I'm in a restaurant anywhere I scrutinize the kitchen towels, napkins, tablecloths - all the soft pieces of a stylish table top and efficient kitchen - to find the best ideas. These Liliane Kitchen Towels I discovered about seven years ago and have stocked them at home ever since. I don't use paper towels much, and…

This Kitchen Makeover Is So Cozy, It Almost Feels Like a Living Room
From the title, I expected to see a couch! (I love to see couches in kitchens, very English.) I miss the checkered floor though. Now the room resembles neither a kitchen nor a living room, but a really posh potting shed. In other news, using this community for comments now is too clunky to use now, especially to start a…

Paper Clutter
I tackled 2 big piles of papers that found their way into the bedroom… it was shocking! Flyers from 2023! Printouts of schedules of activities! Old receipts not needed for warranty or taxes! And lots of 'lost' important papers! All the recyclable is in bin to go out and the shredding is on the shredder to shred. It does…

Designing with wall-to-wall carpet :(
Hi all, I bought a 1BR condo in LA, and while it was pretty much turn-key, the one downside of the unit is that it is wall to all cream/beige carpet (aside from kitchen and bathroom). It was in really good condition (the previous owner was OCD) and I'm trying my best to also keep it clean (no pets, thankfully), but I have…
