I’m enthralled with this small kitchen, which I saw in an article by kitchen designer Susan Serra, author of The Kitchen Designer. What’s so appealing here? The antique wood floors are most beautiful. Susan points out that the direction the boards run, along the length of the kitchen, rather than the width, draws your eye…

When I visited Arnie and Lily Richards at home in Downey, California, they were naturally proud of the new dining room they added, and the adjacent kitchen they remodeled. You can see it here and it’s nice, isn’t it? And the couple did every single thing themselves, with their own hands — demolition (friends helped…
I’m enthralled with this 435-square-foot apartment in Greenwich Village, N.Y. It has only one window, in the living room, yet the space feels light and open. What you see here is the living room from each end, with the kitchen on one side, and the bedroom on the other side through glass doors. (Click photo…
The New York Times had a pretty good concept for a series: Remake five rooms around the city for $300 each. In these times of job losses and declining prosperity, $300 is still a lot of money but not too much. In a living room on Long Island, $250 of the budget was eaten up…

Here are some things to ponder: • This lavish bedroom is in a Manhattan apartment. • This oversized bedroom was the apartment’s original living room. • Alabaster lamps from David Duncan Antiques flank the early-20th-century Italian bed. • The famous person who lives…
From USA Today: More than 60,000 people have signed a Facebook petition pleading with ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to restore the home of a grieving mother and daughter whose Buffalo, N.Y., house was flattened by the Continental Airlines commuter plane that crashed on Feb. 14, leaving 49 dead. Karen Wielinski and her daughter Jill fled the house…
This kitchen works for me. I could definitely cook next to a fireplace, couldn’t you? So who lives here? Here are some facts: • The house, in the rolling hills of Montana, was built to look old. • The stone around the fireplace and doorway is from Montana. • Some flooring planks were salvaged from…
Me? I LOVE this kitchen. I can feel it in my bones. Maybe it's the $10,000 (or more) worth of earthy tile that gets my attention. The stove is freakishly small for the space, and I don't see why it couldn't be as wide as the blue tile section. I found this kitchen and several others…
Can you imagine yourself cooking here? I’m not sure if the famous former athlete whose home contains this kitchen actually cooks here. That’s what hired help is for, right? (Not that I have personal experience with having a professional cook in the house, but I’ve heard that it’s done.) Here’s what you should notice to…
