Considering the lofty prices of even the tiniest spaces these days (no pun intended!) most of us will be calling an apartment "home" for a while. Just because you live in an apartment doesn't mean you need to live like a broke college kid. You style can evolve even in a studio apartment!
I stumbled upon Apartment Therapy a few days ago and can't get enough of it. In addition to L.A., it also serves other design havens such as Chicago, New York and San Francisco.
The coolest part about the site is the "House Tours" which let you take a peek inside some of L.A.'s poshest pads. You can even submit photos of your own abode!
The site also offers weekly contests, giveaways and projects to participate in. This week you can register to win a gorgeous duvet cover for the "Thursday Giveaway" promotion.
It is very community focused, alot like hubbuzz.com, and most of the content is produced by local users. They post decorating tips, reviews about their favorite furniture shops and products, and anecdotes from travels and moving experiences.
Check out the posts "Store your books in the rafters" and "Inspiration: Writing on the walls."
This site is also a big supporter of finding affordable apartments that have some character to them. Check out hubbuzz.com's L.A. neighborhood pages to find a great apartment in hip areas. Not all cool apartments are cookie cutter! Find some interesting ones here.
