She Cut Her Couch in Half?! | Apartment Therapy's Editorial Director

What happens when your dream couch won’t fit through the door? You call the Couch Doctors.

In this episode of Home Therapy, Anita sits down with Danielle Blundell, Editorial Director of Apartment Therapy, to unpack the realities of home design — from light bulbs that change your mood to the power of color-drenched spaces.
