One can also probably go to their nearby university for maps. My state university's geography department offers files or printouts of maps, aerial photography and satellite imagery for very nomina...

Those "crooked" maps aren't the result of an oversight--the orientation of a map to the page is a result of which projection is used (e.g. Transverse Mercator vs. WGS vs. State Plane...). Being a ...

Pretty sure it's a Robert Sonneman design for George Kovacs.

I haven't read all 55 comments above, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating... There is NO easy or practical way to stain those cabinets another color. That oak has clearly been polyurethaned...

The trick here is that it's smack in the middle of a transitional period between the 80's and 90's. I'm going with 90's, but just barely. This looks exactly like something you guys scanned from a...

Man-ofSteel: That the found balusters were later reproductions might well have been mentioned in the original post--that detail changes the dynamic of the little narrative entirely.

My university's art gallery has a set of those hanging on a wall in the sculpture garden. Not "Sullivan-esque"--attributed to Louis Sullivan, 1899. Did Randall Kramer and ...

That's the only thing I've ever seen from Pier 1 that I would actually consider having in my house.

CLEAR! Especially when it's some pitiful shower the size of a phone booth. Besides preferring any added sense of spaciousness, I always shave in the shower, so I prefer to get as muc...

Changing a door's swing isn't so simple as unscrewing the hinges from the jamb and reinstalling the door the other way in the opening. There's the door stop, catch plate, etc.. And I'...

It was most likely manufactured by Moe Light, probably around 1958.

I'd just make the point to be cautious about having a cabinet made from sheet metal sandblasted. I've seen cabinets ruined because the metal warped from the heat and pressure.

$5? I know where there are boxes of these things--just mine to paw through. I like the shadowbox/framing idea--All my favorite characters are glued together in a block that sits on a ...

I suppose it's okay for a situation where one is stuck with a suspended ceiling, thinking, "Anything's gotta be better than this." But it's not great. It's sort of like covering a cei...

Should my situation change, using my flat file as a coffee table is about the only way I'd be able to have room for it. I keep mine in my office, but it's a hulk. I put it on big swiv...

Unfortunately, the characterization and sentiments expressed within this movie were even more frivolous and self-indulgent than Demi's apartment. Was it supposed to be "deep?" Because the whole t...

Sure it's not an alternative of IV?

Crud. I'm working on my degree in architecture, and while my actual interests and work are all-inclusive, encompassing interior design, landscape design, etc., things like this really make me thin...

A little to seedy, artsy, Dickensian, bohemian-chic for me. It reminds me of the book Artistry of the Mentally Ill, or if Elle did a feature on the home of someone like Henry Darger.

Ours was a celery-green 1969 Plymouth Satellite station wagon. We felt *very* Brady-Bunch-retro when we took that thing on vacation in the Black Hills and Badlands--places which at the time still ...
