Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Some time ago, Apartment Therapy signed a lease, settled in, and opened its doors to weary renters from across the Web. Dispensing realistic yet chic advice for life in cramped quarters, the site quickly gained a well-deserved following. Today, anyone can seek solace in its metro-specific listings, recommendations, and blog posts. But it's the house tours that have healed us most. In photo excursions through domiciles in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and the occasional desert playa, we have visited sleek, one-bedroom dwellings; viewed playfully colorful rooms; and lingered in the light-filled abode of a Windy City architect. Each outing encourages close inspection, offers workaday tips and tricks, and rarely fails to inspire. Special mention must be reserved for "Jack's really small home" in Manhattan's Times Square. This laudable soul lives in an apartment that clocks in at 160 square feet. That's not an apartment. It's an exercise in well-organized, mentally fit living.

Were you aware that Walt Disney had a furnished apartment on Disneyland's Main Street? We can't decide if that's perfectly reasonable or maybe a little strange. The Orange County Register presents this multimedia tour of Walt's crib hosted by Disney historian Tim O'Day. We are, however, very confident in our disapproval of the décor: lots of tassels and crushed red velvet. It looks like either a cozy, grandmotherly place or a 19th-century den of iniquity. You're invited to click on various items in the apartment to hear Mr. O'Day go into detail on objects like the Victrola and the rotary phone. We especially liked the grilled cheese maker in the kitchenette.
