When we came across this gorgeous SoHo loft apartment on Sotheby's, on the market for $3.89 million, we were instantly smitten. The 19th-century loft space itself has amazing bones, with original features like tin ceilings still intact.

If you've always dreamed of living in a Malibu Beach house but don't have the millions to snag one, Mad About You star Paul Reiser is renting his. While the $95,000 a month price tag doesn't exactly make it a steal, the stunning oceanfront home would make an ideal Summer rental. According to Trulia, Paul purchased the five-bedroom, four-bathroom beachfront home for $4,450,000 from Sting in 1999. The home spans 4,043 square-feet on a private stretch of beach and also includes a separate guesthouse, an oceanfront patio with a fireplace, and an oceanfront master bedroom with a fireplace and large oceanfront balcony. The home is furnished and decorated with a classic but contemporary beach house aesthetic that works brilliantly with the clean architectural lines and breath taking surroundings.

I recently took on an IKEA Hack project where I transformed two wooden boxes into cute chevron storage options that add character to any space.

As part of our Styled by You $500 Giveaway with IKEA, Elka Karl and I have been thinking of ways to punch up basic Ikea products. You may have seen how I added block-printed ikat polka dots to this Asele lampshade ($15). Well, now I'm revisiting the same shade with an entirely different approach.
