Do You Have Open Shelving?

Before and After: A Change in Chelsea
Camila of High-Heeled Foot in the Door is at it again! This time the DIY expert and interior designer conquered her young sister's apartment in Chelsea, NYC, which is shared with two roommates. Communal living spaces often pose a problem, as each roommate has her own tastes, and recent grads often can't afford to be spending their hard-earned mula on décor.
Before and After: Lauren's Retro-Modern Kitchen
Craftster member Lauren is an amazing crafter, but she's been taking a hiatus from personal craft projects to work on a much bigger one: making over her new house.
Lauren writes, "We bought our house in mid-August and have been going to town on every inch of it. It is a 1931 cottage style 1 1/2 story house that we fell in love with on the very first round of showings.
How-To: Create a Craft Corner
A good friend of mine just sent me photos of her new house in Los Angeles, and I was excited to see that she made room for a craft corner. My pal loves to craft and sew, and now she has an established space for her handiwork (which is more than I can say for my own house).

Su Casa Challenge: Miriam Olivia's Cocina Fiesta
Su Casa member Miriam Olivia responded to my January Su Casa Challenge and posted photos of her kitchen wall cupboard that she enlivened with colorful dishes.
She writes, "Living in Pennsylvania means long Winters with very little sun. So, one day I decided to take off the three doors to this 1950s kitchen wall cupboard.
Where Do You Iron?
I love Arts and Crafts apartments, which often have recessed ironing board cupboards built into the wall of the kitchen, bathroom, or utility closet. These closets manage to combine convenience with charm, and also mean you don't have to spend money on an ironing board. However, most of us rely on shlepping ironing boards from closets to various rooms to press our laundry.
