Name: Mollie Gilbert
Location: Oakland, California
Size: 1,325 square feet
Years lived in: 11 years, owned
It isn't difficult to find Mollie's house on her quiet street: Just look for the home with the jack-o-lantern on the porch year-round. If the pumpkin or the "Haunted Mansion" sign at the doorway aren't an indication of what's inside, then you're in for a spooky treat.
As temperatures begin to drop, now's the time to turn your place into a cozy nest. Sure, you could break out a throw blanket or light a fire, but this duvet inspired armchair is some next level cocooning.
If you've ever lived in an apartment with an old, crumbling bathroom, you recognize Janna's frustration with her Manhattan bathroom. "No matter how much we cleaned, it never felt clean," she said. The small bathroom was dominated by an enormous seven foot tub, as demonstrated by the "before" pic above. In addition to the less-than-ideal layout, the walls and floors were in bad shape, the toilet leaked, and the vanity was beginning to fall apart. It was time for a change.
On Instagram, a social platform where most everything is filtered and Face Tuned, we love a subversive account that challenges the perceived perfection we see on a daily basis. Decor Hardcore is one such account. Prepare to be surprised, delighted, and maybe even a bit disgusted.
Few things are more satisfying to look at than a well-organized linen closet, but creating your own at home can be a whole other story. On top of finding the room to store all of your towels, washcloths, pillowcases, and spare bed sheets, organizing a cramped and cluttered storage space is hardly ever an easy—or affordable—feat.
Looks like RiRi is on the move once again—this time in New York. The penthouse duplex that the pop star turned fashion and beauty mogul has been renting in Soho/Nolita is now on the market.
Scrolling through Instagram, Pinterest or your favorite design blogs can be a bit disheartening sometimes. Everything is so perfect, and the furniture and accessories are so luxe that it's easy to get down about the state of your own home. Except any super stylish person will tell you it doesn't take a ton of money to create a beautiful home. After stumbling across a spectacular floor lamp at Target earlier this week (read on to see it!), I decided to dig up four more fresh finds that look like a million bucks, but won't set you back more than $100.

Plants. Plants. Plants. White walls. Art and Design. This minimalist Montreal apartment is tastefully styled by the talented exhibition designer of the Canadian Centre of Architecture. Designer and co-founder of bureau sacha von der potter in Geneva, Anh definitely knows about the delicate balance between negative and positive space.
What a week for discerning cats, huh? First they get super sleek furniture and now these bonkers cool cat structures. A recent fundraiser for L.A. based non-profit, FixNation, enlisted star architecture firms to create unique, beautiful and totally functional homes for cats.
With end of Daylight Savings near, you're not the only one anticipating (or rather dreading) the harshest months of the year. Pretty soon, your houseplants will be busy dodging drafts and soaking up every last ray of dwindling sunlight. To give your ferns and fiddle leaf figs a fighting chance at survival, follow these ten tips for winter plant care to get your plants through the worst of it.
Etsy is facing some stiff competition from Amazon this season for your holiday gift purchases—and not in a general sense. The online retail behemoth has expanded its handmade offerings and created a gift shop to go head to head with the OG maker marketplace.
Time and time again we hear our House Tour subjects tell us the same piece of "best advice" when they fill out our style survey. So what do these decor savvy folks do that they think you should do, too? We might as well let them tell you.
To dig into the heads of our most loyal followers, we surveyed readers last month on a bevy of topics. They revealed their favorite cleaning shortcuts, their most hated chore, even the Apartment Therapy advice that has been a game-changer for their home life. We also asked them about trends. We learned that readers are still pretty much into the whole boho look and really love colored doors (and color, in general). We also asked about the trends they wished to see crawl under a rock, never to see the light of day again. Here's what you told us.
The self proclaimed smallest hotel in the world is also something that might get you punched in the arm: A truly tiny and very stylish Volkswagon Beetle in the Jordan desert. Parked in the shadow of the 12th century castle of Montreal, the hotel is run by Mohammed Al Malaheem (who goes by Abu Ali, according to CNN) and has welcomed visitors into the repurposed car since 2011. Take a look inside:
IKEA kitchen sales are legendary. 3-4 times a year, for about a month, the store has a department-wide sale for up to 20% off — a huge savings off big ticket purchases for a renovation. IKEA's current sale goes until 11/19, so we hit them up for all their juiciest bits of insider intel, all to help you get the most out of the opportunity. Read on, then head to your local IKEA, or plan ahead and get all your ducks in a row for the next one.

Location: Toronto, Canada
Last spring, I started envisioning how my artwork would look at a larger size. The mountain design I created for a calendar was doing really well, so I decided to start my first large piece by transferring the mountains onto my bedroom wall. Not only did it transform the atmosphere in the whole room but my entire business plan, too! I felt entirely in my element throughout the whole process which has resulted in my new mural business.
Buying and renovating fixer uppers is one of those big life dreams — like starting a B&B or opening your own restaurant — that divides the population: there are those that sit around and talk about doing it one day, and those that actually do. It's been an interesting, non-linear journey for Tara Mangini and Percy Bright, the couple behind Jersey Ice Cream Co., whose unique, organic, and character-filled renovations have been featured on design blogs everywhere and in the New York Times. They've proven they have what it takes.
A strange phenomenon occurs when temps drop below 50ยบ. It's like all of a sudden we need all the blankets, all the boots, all the knitted sweaters, all the fall things, right now. We put away our summer clothes in exchange for things a little more comfortable and cozy. So why not carry the trend on over into your home – starting with the living room – with fuzzy rugs, woven blankets, warm lighting, and sweet scents? Embrace the change of the season with these totally homey DIYs.

Name: Betsy, Manny and Tilly
Location: Savannah, Georgia
Size: 1680 square feet
Years lived in: Owned 1 year
Betsy and Manny are a duo who clearly enjoy a good renovation project. They moved to Savannah from Brooklyn, New York a little over a year ago after outgrowing the city—and their 400 square foot studio apartment. They put an offer in on this little bungalow two days after arriving in Savannah and since then, have completely transformed their house with a great mix of clean lines and textured, vintage pieces.
