What should we do with this wall?
We live in a 1914 craftsman and want to add some additional bookshelves in our living room. We are looking into modular systems but not sure what to do here. The wainscoting goes up to 26.5" and we'd prefer not to drill/mount anything on it. Love some ideas!

Organization help for the disabled
Hi, I'm new here, I'm a wheelchair bound woman that lives in an apartment complex. I've adapted to most challenges here, with 1 exception. I am not permitted to make any modifications… my bedroom closet doesn't work for me. I have reorganized multiple times and as my health conditions change, it just gets worse. I've begun…

This Furniture Designer’s Joyful Mexico City Apartment Is Nothing Short of Stunning
The occupant's furnishing designs are not anything I'd care to own, but I do appreciate their playful, handcrafted character. That the furnishings are so prominent in the apartment makes the apartment equally playful and personal. I like that very much.

Where is the door in the before pictures? It's hard to tell the layout or if the pictures are taken from the same angle. Where did the washer and dryer go? (Referenced Before & After link)

House Tour: A Travel-Loving Couple Updated This Apartment (They Added the Coolest Balcony!)
Sigh. So this place is beautiful and striking, but it looks like a very high-end hotel. There isn't one bit of personalization anywhere. And, this definitely isn't the only AT house tour with this problem, but what is with people who don't have books in their apartment? (Referenced House Tour link)

September Decluttering Cure 2025 Discussion
The Decluttering Cure is back, and we’re doing it together right here in the forum! 🎉 Decluttering doesn’t have to mean an all-day marathon — sometimes it’s just clearing a stack of papers, tackling that junk drawer, or giving one shelf a reset.

One Good Thing: My Favorite Corkscrew (what's yours?)
My product recommendation for this week is a classic design that I have never seen improved upon: the professional waiter's corkscrew from Pulltaps. This has become my total go to. Over the years, I've collected many kinds or cork screws and appreciated all of their strengths. I've got simple, old fashioned hand pulls and…

Recommendations: My Favorite Suede Oven Mitt (What's yours?)
I love to cook and I have the burns to prove it. In reaching for hot pot handles I’ve mainly used cloth versions of pot holders until I was given a pair of suede oven mitts from Jane Domestic. Unlike my old go-to cloth mitts, these thick suede mitts never catch on fire, never get hot on my hands, and are even lovely when…

Before & After: A “Bare Box” Space Becomes a Gorgeous Mid-Century-Style Dining Room for Under $500
I really like this renter friendly makeover. It's distinctive, welcoming and functional. I grew up in a house with a few wood panel walls and I personally, enjoy the character they impart to a space. I actually wish my present home had some of those bygone features. (Referenced Before & After)

What Color Shutters for My White House?
Hi! One of my shutters got blown off this morning in a windstorm, which is finally going to force me to replace all of them. The previous homeowners installed ones that were too short so it's been on my to-do list anyway. I'm wondering what color I should get for this house, and also whether or not I should put them on the…

Before & After: This Builder-Basic Kitchen Got a Makeover That “Feels Quietly Elevated”
The window alone makes all the difference in this kitchen. Also, with a few changes, everything seems to be in a workable space. Nothing fancy or trendy here, but a kitchen you can be proud of. Love it. (Referenced Before & After)

A Dated 2000s Kitchen Gets a Striking $2,000 Makeover (The Cabinets Stayed!)
I like the general premise of the after - it's the gray/black colored tile with the clearly brown/golden other parts like the floor that just don't make it cohesive, tho.

Carpet/clothing moths SOS
I've been dealing with carpet moths for the last few months and have spent hours researching/trying to get rid of them. Luckily, I think I've got them under control—it seemed to be one main rug that had them—but I just came across this piece by @LizzyFrancis sharing her experience, and… 1) Lizzy, I feel for you so hard!!!…

What is the best mattress for back pain?
I have had the same queen-sized mattress for almost 11 years now (yikes!). It's getting to the point that when I roll over in the middle of the night (I'm a bit of an active sleeper) I can hear my back crack in like a dozen tiny pops. And I have back pain almost every day. We're looking to FINALLY replace our mattress this…

Recommendations: My Best Sink Sponge Hack to Crush Dishwashing (what's yours?)
A well organized cleaning set up in your sink is an essential part of a happy home, and I've wrestled for years with mine. While I've made many small changes, the big one came this past year when I finally woke up and realized that an in-sink sponge holder was one of the best ideas on the planet. I now use two different…

Controversially Mixing This One Material Made a London Home Not Feel “Boring and Antiquated”
What an absolutely gorgeous apartment. I'm not normally a lover of greens, but you two have knocked it out of the park with your color choices. The neutral green is especially lovely in Kobe's nursery - it really is relaxing! Baby's don't need a lot of chaos in their environment. I especially love how you highlighted the…
