But the most-clicked-on house tour in all of 2025 might surprise you. It wasn't the biggest home we toured this year, or the most lavish. At 750 square feet, it wasn't even the tiniest home we toured this year. But there was one chic New York City rental apartment we toured in June of this year that readers couldn't get enough of: Sarah and Peterson Almodovar's two-bedroom home they share with their three kids, ages 1, 3, and 5.
My kids and I live in Oregon, where you need access to boots, sneakers, and rain shoes for most of the year. We almost exclusively come and go through the garage, so I repurposed a few leftover white bookshelves from an upstairs office and tucked them under built-in cabinets to create a makeshift shoe-storage zone. But with three people in the house, the piles added up fast.
Winning proposal in collaboration with Sergi Serrat to build the new changing rooms and a multi-purpose hall for a sports centre in Ripoll, a small town in Catalunya surrounded by mountains.
While choosing a mattress (rightfully) gets the most attention when furnishing a bedroom, shopping for a bed frame is just as important. As the centerpiece of your bedroom, your bed sets the tone for the entire room - and, as anyone who's dealt with creaky bed joints knows, can be the difference between a good night's sleep and a bad one.
The best flannel sheets are a gift when winter rolls around. Between the sun setting early and weather dipping below freezing, curling up in warm and cozy bedding always sounds like a sweet escape for the season. Even if you have your heart set on flannel, not all have the best quality. You don't want to run into shrinkage or pilling problems.
Built in 1974 by an architect who prioritized form over function, the geometric stucco-and-cedar house lacked a full kitchen. It did, however, have water damage and a carpenter ant infestation. And the asking price was far too steep for its neglected condition. But the creative couple-she's the designer behind fine jewelry brand Mociun and he's a co-founder of mirror and furniture studio Bower -appreciated the quirky curves that give the home a special flow, so they negotiated a lower cost and began repairs.
There was a survey of business leaders nationally in October. Thirteen percent indicated that they intended to have workers back in the office more days next year, just 5% saying fewer. So that sort of indicates that this trend is continuing. You've seen a number of companies in recent weeks ratchet up the number of days that workers are supposed to be in the office. Truist, locally, they're going back five days a week starting in January.
Ujizono Architects has completed Kasamabi Sauna in Kasama City, , a region historically recognized for Kasama ware and ceramics production. The facility is situated within a mixed urban context that includes schools, art , golf grounds, and densely arranged residential buildings. As a program requiring privacy, the site is treated as an enclosed condition bordered by surrounding structures and open fields.
Tenacity and taste defined this Italian-Irish couple's renovation of a 1930s house in Dublin's Rialto, writes Orla Neligan, and the result is a warm family home that blends modern and traditional
I'm convinced my aunt could open a small museum with the amount of family photos and keepsakes she's accumulated over the years. She and my uncle have chronicled every get-together for as long as I can remember. While a lot of it is digitally stored on their home computer, the bulk of it is physical media passed down from my grandparents: my grandmother's favorite bossanova records,
Over time, shelters began to be made from materials found in nature, such as branches, leaves, and animal skins, evolving into more permanent and complex homes, with walls made of stone, bricks or wood, roofs to protect against rain and sun, and doors to control access. As we developed more advanced building skills, we used materials such as wood, stone, and clay and architecture evolved significantly, with the construction of temples, palaces, and fortifications.
Many of the common mistakes that occur when painting the kitchen also apply when it comes to cabinets. For starters, there is no skipping the prep work. Without adequate sanding and priming, your paint will fall apart. You'll also need to give the tiny grooves the attention they need - even if it adds a few days to your timeline. The need for quick results is understandable, but bear in mind that kitchen cabinets face a significant amount of wear and tear.
The Waterfront Botanical Gardens and Graeser Family Education Center sit on a former landfill site, which had been unusable and closed off to the public for decades. Today it has been redesigned into 23.5 acres of lush, verdant, sustainable public space: the first botanical garden in Louisville. The education center and surrounding trails and gardens provide green space to residents and visitors, while educating the public on topics of conservation and sustainability.
Tight layouts, narrow cabinets, and limited counter space can make cooking and organizing feel like a daily puzzle - which is why finding smart, affordable storage solutions can transform and make even the tiniest kitchen easier to work in. Over the past year, we've covered dozens of clever kitchen organizers and space-saving fixes, and plenty of them became fast favorites for anyone trying to stretch every inch of their space a little further.
My husband and I recently remodeled our first home. While it was an amazing experience, we quickly learned that the most difficult part of renovating is the countless number of decisions you have to make all at the same time. I've always felt confident in my decorating selections, but this time, I was completely and utterly overwhelmed. For example, choosing paint colors might sound fun, but it was easily one of the most stressful steps.
The holidays always bring a mix of cozy joy and creeping clutter. I love the lights, gatherings, and food, but my apartment rarely survives the yearly wave of gifts, decor, and "I'll deal with it later" piles. This year, I want to head into January with less stress and more space, so I'm trying something new: following a reverse advent calendar.
It's pretty bare-bones with a super basic bedframe that doesn't offer much aesthetic appeal. As I was thinking of how to turn the space around, it occurred to me that a new upholstered bed frame would make the biggest impact. Let's be honest: My bed takes up most of the small space anyway, so I'm convinced investing in a design-y bed frame will help take it to the next level.
