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!

Exterior Design Question
Most know what a spiral staircase looks like. So I have always wondered why some city garden apartments have 2 to 6 steps when many who want a garden apartment need flat homes. Masons must conform to specific angles when making concrete ramps and too often there is insufficient garden apartment space for a ramp. I'm…

It is too cluttered to take pictures of, so just imagine a large rectangular room with one room at one end with a door on it. The house has 2…

Recommendations for hanging this oddly sized painting?
I got this painting in Turkiye recently; it's a thick paper painted with paint. The sizing is fairly odd so it's not possible to buy a pre-made frame for it. A custom frame really isn't in the budget. I attempted to hang it with sticky tack but it's too heavy and fell down within a few days. I also tried a wooden hanger…

My first apartment
I am 76 and in my first apartment after owning 5 houses in 3 states (we built the house in Malibu). It’s confounding to have 50 years of things—mostly valued for sentiment—but some valuable art, and to have to figure out 750 square feet of grey/beige walls and some carpet with the awful grey stained wood floors found…

Empty Projection Wall
I use the large wall in my living room as a projection spot to watch movies, but when it’s not in use, it looks so bare and boring.

Curtains - how should we hang them?
Hi! My boyfriend and I just moved into our new space. It's an older building that has lots of beautiful wood moldings. We have two windows in our bedroom, I'm hesitant to hang curtains within them because I don't want to block the natural light during the day.

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).
