Jooly -- I think that's one of the paper lampshades available at Ikea and elsewhere -- nice use of it on the floor as long as you don't have cats.

Looks like the already-finished floors have been sandblasted, then, on some at least, refilled with a black concrete or resin... I agree, the 'raw' etched floors would be terrible to...

Totally clever.

So wait -- doesn't the computer go to sleep when you close it? Isn't this completely useless??

Agreed Gallivant -- the real beauty of cast iron is that they're almost always salvageable and a simple seasoning doesn't actually take that long... Also, the fast track to seasoning, ...

Wait -- are the legs perfectly round tubes or something strange like rectangles or ovals? Anything except round, use a nice new hacksaw. They're cheap, worth the investment.

This is actually quite easy. It should cost you between $20 and $40 for everything, maybe less. You'll need a pipe cutter, some masking tape so you don't mar your tubes up too much, something cal...

Just for the record, my e-mails started coming through without any photos recently, just text and hyperlinks -- no embedded pics. Is this the same for everyone or just me?

I don't see any player above. I had to click through to Poppytalk to see it.

I live alone, so unless company is over, it's almost always open. When I used to live with someone, we did have our privacy though.

...and keep your shower extra clean / tidy.

AlmostAD I just noticed that too-- those things are totally going to crash, and it'll be awesome.

Rather than stretch this, I think you'd be happier having it mounted onto some board (masonite, luan ply, gatorboard, etc) which itself could have some framework on the back of it to keep it flat, ...

JMorey - I second the masonite and plexi framing -- I'd recommend putting some sort of archival paper between the masonite and the poster to prevent yellowing, and if you're feeling cheap / broke, ...
