It makes me wonder if the same thing would look too weird embedded in the light plastering/texture of a wall...

I just finished reading a book called "Spark" about how exercise affects the brain. I've never been very into exercise for the sake of exercise, but this book really changed my perspective. It turn...

I lived in Venezuela for two years, and we had a leaking valve in the shower that would cause water to drip from the head. We started collecting it in a tub, and then using a pitcher to shower. I w...

Unrelated: Who keeps peanut butter in the fridge? Doesn't that make it like cold tar when it comes time to spread it on your bread?

I'd say that'd be bad news. With the chairs being flexible, the paint would likely chip at the corners where the tube flexed under the weight of the sitter. Maybe you could take them in to get powd...

I think the first one (from Venice) could easily be inspiration for another room, just without the vintage map wallpaper. Add some matching chairs, tables, art, and I think it would look great. The...

I don't think the idea of Earth Hour is bad, but if something is to be done, boycotting is not the answer. Yes, you can delete that undying email about how tomorrow no one will buy gasoline and the...

I toured a factory where my friend worked once where they made brushed aluminum bodies for cars (old Shelby Cobras). I guess it involved, as suggested, that steel wool or, in their case, I think it...

I'll add another two cents... Is there any way to seal the concrete? I know you can paint or epoxy it, which should pretty much seal it off. Either that, or is there some way to let the flooring fl...

No kidding, amazing kitchen, and I'd be interested in the ID of the blue...

I think they look like the power adapter for my MacBook Pro. Or, any other Apple product of that form factor. Also, my favorite feature: almost no windows. Who thought that was a good idea?

I could be off on this, but I recall when we built our house when I was a teenager, we used screws rather than nails to put down our subflooring. The screws supposedly wouldn't loosen over time lik...

I could be way off, but are you sure it's ceramic? To me it appears like a wireframe with a gloss polymer film stretched over it. You could make it with triangular tiles on a thin re-bar frame cove...

Also, from an economic standpoint, what does this do? I buy a whole bunch of old furs, recycle them into sweet pillows and sell them. Pretty soon, people can't buy the old jackets, scarves, hats, e...

Must. Have. Chair. Also, is that a real fireplace?
