And I bet they used computers/printers to generate/print the map pattern to begin with. And if that's true, then, really, what is the point?

@akay It's not like saying, "why draw someone when you could take a photo of them," at all. Because this hand-cut map looks like it was laser-cut. 99% of people who look ...

Rsfish, the point is that people, like yourself, are already in the market for appliances but, due to the economic distress, may not be able to afford the purchase. So the government provides some ...

How are the stimulus rebates disgraceful? People all over the country are wasting tons of electricity, using antiquated appliances that are putting enormous strain on our power grid (which at this ...

I find it funny that you guys sit around and critique extremely well-detailed works of modern interior architecture, as if your comments reflect anything other than the fact that you are all a bunc...

Yeah, with a solid-core door, I would think you could jump up and down on it and it would be fine. We actually used them as desks at an architecture firm I worked at years ago, and they were basica...

Okay, I actually read the articles, and they all used hollow-core doors but treated the surface in various ways. So my criticism of the surfacing material is not as valid in these cases. But I stil...

I agree with tashar - the first photo with the paneled door as a desk is kind of silly. Especially with the hinges left on and facing out, for anything to get snagged on. Also, these a...

The point is that you can get the best concert grand piano in the world for around $60,000. Anything above that and you are purely paying for decoration (exotic woods, carved legs, etc.). Paying $1...

wc_canuck, that is a ridiculous thing to say. first of all, this is a website about decorating apartments. you are here at this website, so you know this. so conversations will tend to revolve arou...

Make an appointment with the landlord to discuss painting. Bring some photographs with you of beautiful painted brick (see bddw.com), and make the case to the landlord (gently!) that the wood panel...

I forgot to mention - though some people prefer to have their kitchens separated from the other rooms - the apartment would probably feel much more spacious if you took down the two partitions betw...

As an architect and a soon-to-be studio owner (who has spent quite a bit of time thinking about where the #*@!ing bed goes), I have what I think may be the best solution. Here goes: Yo...

http://www.autoban-delaespada.com/ the 'birdcage' table is called 'pumpkin.'

If the wood is oiled, one shouldn't say it is "unfinished." Because it is finished with oil. Unfinished means left raw, which is not something anybody would or should do with furniture, especially ...

The book is resting at a narrower angle than while being read, thus it is being damaged less than while being read. And since the book is being supported along the full length of its spine, the pag...

You should certainly not paint it white while leaving the backing wall an ugly cream color.

How is it brilliant at all? The entire "candle holder" part of it would never melt, you'd just have to throw it out at the end. So you pay about 20 times what you would pay for a normal candle, for...

omg! you are all so STUFFY! this table is amazing. i was sorry to see it is not actually for sale.

I'd like to make a barely related comment/question: Why do you use the word "slinks"? The links are not surreptitious in any way, they are right there on your front page in a list with...
