Rental kitchens! The most difficult part of a rental apartment. We are mostly stuck with the kitchens that come with our rented dwellings, and yet there are ways to add pops of color and small functional improvements to even the dreariest rental kitchen. Here are a few examples from ten recent Apartment Therapy house tours of personalized rental kitchens big and small. More

We've been on a kitchen floor kick this week: First the cork, then a survey of what kind of floors you all have. But we've saved the prettiest for last. Read on for all kinds of painted floors, from diamonds to seaside motifs to some incredibly gutsy polka dots... More

Here's a clutch of afternoon eye candy for you — a dose of inspiring kitchens from recent Apartment Therapy house tours. These are a diverse bunch.

The right shades can serve old-school country kitchens stenciled in blue geese and vintage flags, then turn around and show off the most sleek and modern kitchen.

It's Outdoor Month, and we're going to be asking you for photos of your own outside spaces, big or small.

It has been raining in New York City for what seems like weeks, so you'd think we'd be looking for an antidote--bright pops of color to shake off the blahs. Instead, we keep pausing on pictures of grey kitchens. Charcoal, stone, blue-greys, green-greys. All of them. We think a grey kitchen is sophisticated, calming, and actually pretty uplifting.

Anna's question earlier today about hanging a pot rack over the stove piqued our interest. Where do people hang their pot racks, and are there some good ideas out there that we can apply in our kitchens? So we went hunting through our archives (and a few other places) to bring you good ideas and visual inspiration for hanging your own pot rack. More
