A window that opens from cookspace to backyard is the next-best thing to an outdoor kitchen

October 6th, 2011

A kitchen window pass-through is such a great idea! I just don't know why I don't see this more often. When I was a teenager living in Southern California, we had a pool in the backyard and would spend the entire day out there.

Clear the clutter and mix up materials for a contemporary spin on country decorating style

October 5th, 2011

My husband and I split our time between Chicago and Michigan. Five years ago we bought a falling down old farmhouse on an acre about 90 minutes from Chicago and spent 3 years fixing it up.

As Season 4 premiers we visit some fashion-forward rooms this tastemaker would appreciate

October 1st, 2011

I'm just going to admit it. I cannot WAIT for Season 4 of The Rachel Zoe Project to air tonight. Although her grossly exaggerated Valley Girl accent can be irritating, Zoe can create unparalleled drama around a lost earring, an Oscar-dress hem or a kit missing boob tape. She reacts to a missing FedEx package like the rest of the world reacts to a tsunami, and it's absolutely hilar ...
