Look! Recycled Glass Landscaping
While in Austin a few weeks ago, we spotted an interesting choice of landscaping material right outside of Aviary: recycled glass. We love the sustainability factor, as well as the look of the mixtu...

Although hanging plates on a wall isn't a new design idea, when we saw this photo posted in abchao's Flickr photostream, we just had to share. For those of us hoping to update our dining rooms for t...
We're not big into pumpkins or cornucopias this time of year, but political decorating? That's something we can get behind. And even though this year's election is over, we'll be leaving up this remin...
This stroke of genius comes from AT regular and Fall Cure-er aquarabbit, who came up with a creative and attractive solution to the daily challenge of remembering where she left her car....
The color alone was enough to catch our attention (oh, how we love teal), as were the sexy zippered sides, but what we found really cool about the pair of loveseats in Vitra's window were their extra-...
Do you save loose change? Not the most original idea, but one that works well for us, we use our vintage demijohn (which we found at the Melrose Trading Post during a trip to LA last year) as a sort o...
In addition to serving awesome vegetarian and vegan food in Portland's Alberta Street district, we were inspired by the built-in dining furniture, green walls and street sign artwork....
Like the deer, the panda, and the wolf that have become the ubiquitous animals of indie rock band names, the owl has become the clichéd kitsch animal in hipster wares. But you know what? We still giv...
Let's do this in the first person, okay? My new apartment has one of those great little phone nooks right inside the front door. I love it but wasn't sure if it would be big enough for a proper landin...
Card catalogs have been a coveted flea market find for a while now, but we never get tired of seeing how people use them in their homes. The multiple skinny drawers lend themselves quite well to mos...
We were sure floored (or should we say doored?) when we saw this trio of unusually placed knobs while on a late night walk in the Mission....
We like scarves as much as Elizabeth of Box Living apparently does, but her DIY resourcefulness on the subject far outstrips ours. This pretty row of fabric loops makes a perfect display for the col...
Last week we showed you a paper flower a friend made for us. And although you appreciated it, most of the comments called for information on our corrugated cardboard nightstand. ...
In the spirit of this post, which led to another post at AT:LA, we thought we'd share these beautiful mosaic stairs located in Golden Gate Heights......
One of the best donor walls we've ever seen, this installation of flowers and bugs suspending in blocks of lucite is at the the new California Academy of Sciences building. While we've never seen a d...
We got to tour the new California Academy of Sciences last night, and while there were many things about the green building that impressed us, the way they've labeled their trash system really caught...
Back in September we showed you Daniel and Jason's home. We're in awe of the entire space, but what we really loved was that their kitchen was so saturated with color. Take a look at some more photo...
After ordering carpet tile samples from Flor and deciding against a Flor floor for the time being, we couldn't bring ourselves to just throw the samples away. So they sat on our coffee table for a f...
Recently an artist friend of ours came over to have some tea. During his visit we showed him some vintage wallpaper scraps we have picked up. Our friend then asked if he could make us something out ...
This must be the bar stool design of choice for frozen yogurt shops, because we saw two in the span of a few blocks with the same seating. But we prefer these......
We recently spied this private courtyard located outside a Carmel design studio. We loved the punch of bright yellow, which adds a happy, sunny feel -- particularly on foggy days....
We admit it - we're collectors. We like to think it's an inherited trait, as both our grandparents and our parents are also collectors. However, collecting doesn't need to mean clutter, and we've disc...
There are projects, and then there are projects. We found these two handmade lamps at uber-vintage/salvage/curio shop Great Stuff, and the base materials are unique, to say the least....
While walking down Golden Gate Avenue in the Western Addition the other day, we noticed the false facades on these Victorian homes. We've noticed other homes around the city with faux fronts and assum...
At first glance the intricate decoration of this front door -- seen on a house in Carmel -- reminded us of those henna tattoos that we've seen on people's hands and feet, but then we noticed that the ...
