Apartment Therapy: everyone needs some now and then.

Have you checked out the San Francisco edition of Apartment Therapy?

"Changing the world, one apartment at a time." - Apartment Therapy

It's relatively new compared to it's big sister-cities, NYC and Chicago, but it's every bit as awesome and growing everyday. It has such a neighborhood feel to it and very much based in reality - real design problems and solutions. There's tours of people's apartments (which is so voyeuristic it's a bit addicting!), culture, art, cooking and lots of fab new products are featured daily. People post their design problems and visitors to the site can comment and help them out with ideas and constructive criticism. It's like having your own interior designer right there on the web, but you get many opinions, not just one. My friend Joni told me about it (thanks, Joni!) and ever since it's been this sort of weird epiphany for me. Their site was an inspiration to me to start sfgirlbybay. I love to write and shoot pix and I really love my home and sharing it with good friends, so the idea of the blog was a perfect fit to combine all three of my passions into one really fun creative outlet. And, now, because of Apartment Therapy, so many good things have come my way and I'm feeling more creatively juiced than I have in a very long time. So thanks again AT for having me and being there - just like any good therapist!
