We LOVE this photo from the 57th issue of Elle Decoration South Africa. Our favorite part? All of it! No, really... it's the fact that the frames are all hung on decorative ribbon (or are they?). ...

Greetings AT:SF, I live in Oakland and recently picked up an Eames lounge knock off in need of some TLC. I was wondering if anyone there could recommend a good upholsterer anywhere in the Bay Area. SF...
These could more aptly be called mobiles, since they don't provide a light source. But the make-it-yourself kit adds up to a project that is no less fancy, and fun as well....
Inviting is the word we'd most like our guests to use about our house. One of our fail-safe tricks to achieving this in the fall and winter is to fill the air with season-appropriate scents. No toxic ...

We hadn't, and when we saw the name attached to this vintage pair, we wondered if they were so-named because actual moss was somehow growing on them. It turns out that the lamps have an interesting ...
We replaced our vinyl shower liner with a new curtain, but we felt bad about just chucking the old one in the trash. We decided to keep it to use around the house because it seemed like something that...
