The Brick House was an accidental discovery for me: I stumbled across an Apartment Therapy house tour of Morgan Satterfield’s Hemet, California home and was inspired and delighted. Hemet, you see, is where I spent a great deal of my time growing up, as my grandmother lives there. I’ve always viewed it as a hot, mobile home-laden wasteland — not the young, vital, and cool desert vibe that the Brick House portrays. “The House” is packed full of wittily-written DIY tutorials for fabulous, doable projects, like this Ace Hotel-inspired pipe shelving unit and this brass chandelier. Morgan’s motto is to never spend more than $100 on anything, which is hard to believe considering the quality of furnishings and decor in her home. I, for one, have been inspired by so many things on the site I’m considering hiring Morgan to consult on some of my own home projects, a service we can all utilize thanks to her new venture Brick House Design. –Megan B.
