But a new small-space challenge is just another day at the design office for a guy who has made a living out of helping to transform the homes of clients (and now web surfers), regardless of the size of their space. We chatted with Gillingham-Ryan by telephone and e-mail from New York about design blogs, the new book, small-space living and what the future holds for Apartment Therapy. Mirrors are also great for reflecting light and allowing your eye to travel through the wall, making your space feel larger. Many people consider their home small when they’ve moved from a bigger home or if they’ve added a partner or a child to the equation. The biggest tricks here are more lighting, indirect or below eye level when standing; light, bright walls and trim; a dark floor or a dark rug on a light floor to ground the space and provide a contrast to the light walls; having 10 percent of empty space in any closet, shelf, cabinet or room. read more

Most neighborhoods in Brooklyn have at least one blog — and in some places, there seems to be one in every house, every bedroom — but not many read like BayRidgeTalk. Months later, the bloggers are celebrating, days after the police raided the two neighboring homes in question, 346 and 348 93rd Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues, and arrested five people, including three brothers who lived there.

The Sprint Cup stars demonstrated today that road racing is not their bread and butter. The end of the 208 Toyota / Save Mart 350 saw way too many wrecks as both the Sprint Cup stars and the road racing ringers had trouble slowing down for the corners and keeping off of each other.
