If this residence entered our Falls Colors Contest, we'd guess that it would do pretty well! This home, decorated by m. design interiors, is all retro modern chic that uses bold colors in wide diagon...
We’re all used to seeing welcome mats on the front door steps of homes we visit. With their catchy graphics and witty phrases, a welcome mat can oftentimes set the tone of a person’s house (or at...
We're still on our adventure in the Bay Area and spotted this great solution at our friend Evan's new apartment. What used to be a narrow niche near the entryway (probably for a small table and mirror...

We're a sucker for a good bit of tiling, from stairs to floors, even a faux window. So, it's no surprise that ...
Gottta say, we're always impressed by a DIY that doesn't look like a DIY. Maybe it's a fall thing but it feels to us like there's DIY in the air. First, there was Alex's AC unit cover-up. Then, yes...
Let's face it, no matter how hard we try, there are still places in the home that get stinky. Whether it's the kitchen trash, the laundry room or where Fido likes to hang out these areas aren't going...
Aldo of Mexico City sent us a few photos of his Condesa District apartment, and what we liked the best was his celestially inspired ceiling decoration. The various sized and coloured globes give his c...
Growing up, our grandparents had a stone birdbath as an accessory in their backyard. We say accessory because the birdbath never had water in it. It always did a really good job of reminding us that...
In a place like Palm Springs (and days like today in LA) the outdoors are already so saturated with sun and color that the last thing you want is more of the same inside. So we really appreciate this...
We came across an article in the Austin American-Statesman dubbing a residence here in East Austin as the “weirdest duplex in Austin”. We loved all the neat energy-saving ideas implemented in th...

While useful, ceiling fans are generally ugly and the ones with a light attached can be even worse. When we stumbled across Fanaway we were surprised that we hadn’t seen this concept before. Fanaway...
We've posted about ideas of how to hide your AC unit and recently shared this hilarious ugly heater solution. But we think AT reader Alex might have trumped them all with his stunning DIY solution for...
