With only a small shop on SoHo's Crosby Street, Bobby Berk Home is the go-to place in the city for brands like Gus Modern, LAX Series by Mash Studios and a healthy assortment of modern bedding and accessories. Without the constraints of expensive real estate, the product and furniture assortment on BobbyBerkHome.com is comparably enormous and seemingly unending…
This guest bedroom and bathroom was carved out of the side of a mountain in Vals, Switzerland — but it is the cardboard vaulting that gives the space warmth and character. Designed by Studio JVM of the Netherlands, the idea was inspired by the medieval painting 'St. Jerome in his study' by Antonella da Messina.
Q: I recently saw this sink in a magazine article and want to put it in my house. Does anyone have any ideas on who manufactures it? Any suggestions/ information on something similar would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's the goal of Resource Furniture to provide European furnishings at competitive prices — though they carry multiple lines of contemporary designs, these more standard designs are often overshadowed by the options from Clei — the Italian company that manufactures the awe-inspiring transforming beds, sofas, desks and shelving systems.
KIOSK is one of those quirky stores that always has something fun and nearly everything is very unique. Their newest collection of items from Portugal include a selection of offerings from the Fárica de Faianças Artísticas Bordalo Pinheiro — a ceramic producer that makes the most fantastical hand finished and hand painted tabletop and serving dishes.
You will not find any polyester polar fleece on this list! I prefer the natural feel of soft wool, cashmere, cotton and silk. Perfect for gifts or a treat to yourself, here are 10 colorful throw blankets.
Q: I can't figure out a practical, budget-friendly, good looking window treatment solution for the large bow window in our family room. The woven roller shades on the windows right now are ok — and I wouldn't be opposed to keeping them up — but I'd like to add drapes or something to soften them up. I'm not concerned at all about blocking out light, but I would like to have some privacy at night — we are really on display when the sun goes down!…

Q: I'm about to buy the Bulthaup B1 kitchen line, and wondering if anyone has had experience with this line — what are your thoughts? Is their something else to consider with a similar aesthetic and style?

Here's a prospect for a party! What would you do if you found a Prohibition-era 2 lane bowling alley in your building? The lucky new owners of this building in Queens (a former sewing factory) contacted Scouting New York — a blog run by a film location scout.

I am an artist and a furniture designer who finds inspiration in nature. My style is very simple, eclectic and functional. I don't like clutter and try to avoid having things that are purely decorative. I like objects to be used and have purpose in my home.
This is my first re-upholstery project, so I am pretty stoked about it! I actually salvaged these chairs from my grandfather's house. The arms and legs were covered in mold and very undesirable…
Q: I purchased this vintage Zanotta Ristoro table several months ago because I really liked the heavy base. I'm not in love with the formica tabletop, however. Does anyone know where I could have a stone or marble tabletop made to replace it? I see these tabletops all the time in cafes, but I've come up empty searching the web for NYC-area options. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
