By 2004, his Apartment Therapy newsletter morphed into a media company that has now become one of the top blogs for design inspiration, how to guides, and includes tips and tricks for everything home related, from gardening to finances.  The site includes house tours from cities around the globe, a how-to guide for home maintenance and gardening, organizational and cleaning solutions, shopping guides, and articles about everyday life decisions.
