are these actually made from old circuit boards? if so, aren't there a lot of toxic chemicals in a lot of circuit boards, which i thought was part of the reason why a lot of computer/chip manufact...

art -- i don't know what kind of light any of those fixtures throw, but i sort of like the flexibility of the spots since once you hang a ceiling fixture, especially in a kitchen setting, you disco...

Art: this took me forever to re-find on the internet, but I had this place, Pease Plastics , make some thin bent plexi inserts for my record shelves so our...

these look extremely staged to me....

i've never sat in either, but i'd venture to guess the comfort level depends on the size of the person. for some reason, eames' chairs fit me extremely well (i'm a pretty small person). recently ...

re the bar area now with cabinets: I did something similar in my house and did not extend the backsplash. I felt like a backsplash was unnecessary for an area that was going to see little water a...

my dad actually bought a professional grade air cannon drain thing that is awesome -- i've used it a number of times and it always works like a charm. he had a cheapie one that was so so and event...

but be careful to know what you're covering -- i had the not so fun experience once of no access to our gas meter in the basement and we smelled a leak and the gas company came by to check it out b...

i used a very similar turquoise in one of my bedrooms a couple of years ago and a few people laughed at me -- and now i see it turning up everywhere!

i say go bold. something good and saturated.

the new bathroom is lovely. i have a similar bath to her before picture, in the sense that it's pretty traditional looking and newer but not brand new and in good shape, but i don't know if i coul...
