A Graphic Designer's Beautifully Understated Austin Bungalow — House Tour

Name: Spencer Huddleston
Location: Austin, Texas
Size: 780 square feet
Years lived in: 1.5 years, rented

Spencer is a graphic designer and world traveler living in Austin, Texas. When I arrived at his home, his packed climbing gear was immediately noticeable. He was headed that day to climb Mount Kilimanjaro (!). "My friend and I try to climb one mountain a year. This year, it's Mount Kilimanjaro." He collects keepsakes from all of his travels — including masks, mud cloths and artwork — and proudly displays artwork from his friends. Everything in his home has a story and it was wonderful listening to every single one.

Watch This Blank Canvas Transform Into Something Extraordinary — Apartment Therapy Video

I have been following Zaria Forman's work for over a year now, and when I found out she had a studio in Brooklyn I knew I simply had to try to get the chance to meet her — and in July a relationship between Zaria and Apartment Therapy was born! Over the past few months our video team and myself were given the chance to watch and record this immense canvas from its installation to its completion, and it has been a truly incredible experience. I'm so excited for you to see this transformation.

My Real Life Social Experiment: How I Learned to Date Smarter (By Not Taking Tinder Seriously)

The last time I got into a serious, "official" romantic relationship, I wasn't even old enough to go to a bar. I met my college boyfriend not long before I turned 20—two full years before Tinder was even released—and I ended things with him when I was just a few months shy of turning 24.

Get Your Fall On: 13 Perfectly Moody Eclectic Living Rooms

I love the look of fall—the pumpkins and the fallen leaves, sure, but also the particular quality the light takes on when the sun sinks low in the sky. It's a sad, melancholy quality, but also moody and dramatic and interesting, and in some way these living rooms just seem made for that kind of light—a place to sip tea and curl up with an obscure tome and mull over the ashes of the year.
