I wan't a 3rd Monitor!

We could use motion detection lighting in the hallways of my condo development.

Love the storage. Hate the boxed in feeling. Maybe there should be an option to have the organizer on just one side.

I completely agree. Just bought a suitable BRÄDA lap desk from ikea for about $18 last weekend. If I'm feeling ambitious, I may carve out a real wood top for it.

I dig the red, it reminds me of a Ferrari. I actually think it depends on the style of the overall room. If you have no other bright colors, the red would make a great accent. If your room is a ful...

Would be awesome if the photo's were tagged with descriptions. There are some very cool things in this room.

I've been making plans to build a long desk very similar to yours, with a long dark stained wooden top. What are the dimensions? Are you using only one piece of wood for the desktop?

I agree, I think the dry wall repair would be pretty minimal in the long run. Also, the next renter might actually appreciate the solution you've come up with. And if it looks professional enough, ...

The bookshelf isn't doing much to help you organize your clothing - I'd consider putting it on Craigslist and starting anew. I'd would invest in some matching furniture - whether it be aligning to ...

I just bought 2 new ronde chairs from Room and Board for $49/each. Of course, they weren't silver (those are still $79/each).

There are lots of bars with outdoor patios here in Chicago, but not many that are quite as large. This actually reminds me of the outdoor/backyard patio a the Bell's Brewery Eccentric Cafe in Kala...

I think your investigation should begin by looking beneath the seat of the chair where you should find attached, or etched, in the plywood a manufacturer's tag; If its authentic, it should have a H...

I bought one for the kitchen several years ago and stained it in one of the darker options available at Ikea. I think it looks great (even though I could have done a better job of applying the stai...

This is not at all my style, in face it may be the exact opposite. Yet, the style is unquestionable and I gave it a super-cool. Though I would agree with others, it could use a waft of color to get...

Very interesting collection of items and decor. Its obvious there's a theme that been developed, but overall it seems to be more an amalgamation and less an aesthetic.
