I'm soooooo jealous! That camper looks great...and there are a million, skillion ideas that jump to mind. The obvious, paint, new hardware if possible, new upholstery, lighting is open to your imag...

I would worry about gunk (water, grit, etc...) falling into the insoles of the shoes on the the bottom shelf from the soles of the shoes placed on top. I like the look but I would pass on these. I ...

Forgive me but I've been to Wow & Zen and it didn't inspire my trust...and just because it's in a Bucktown/Wicker Park/Lincoln Park etc... gallery, boutique or shop doesn't make it any more authent...

Sprout Home had some over the summer.

Why not buy the Ikea recycle bins? Starting at around $12 a bin depending on the size they have served us well in our home and business.

I got a couple of barrels free from a car wash....1 was a little sudsy the other no problems and they work great.

Aggie927, I'm sorry for the late reply...I need to double check with my friend on that and I'll post it later this week. Patrick in Chicago

Costco has a ton of great stuff it just takes some searching on the website to find it....it also comes and goes and what you see today might not be available tomorrow in the less than average tastes.

I have helped more than 1 client get into the right loft. Give me a call and I would be happy to talk a bit about the Chicago loft & real estate market and answer some questions and perhaps "interv...

Nothing more to say....it looks great!

I'd love to see it redone in something up-to-date...but I don't know how that pattern will look with all that pleating. I would use a very bold solid and stain the legs a darker color. We took a c...

We've done that and I liked it....after I trained myself not to smack my shins on it! Seriously it was like a nice little nightstand area and I slept on against the wall in that bedroom configurati...

I want that ham biscuit recipe!

I bought a bottle cutter kit by Ronco at the thrift store. It is the the same kit from the cheesy commercials I would see on TV in the 70's and while it worked "alright" it definitely inspired me t...

I failed to mention we used it directly on the ceramic tile. Primed first then sprayed. I didn't know if it would work but I see this being a nice new way to make a quick-change in a kitchen or bat...

Unless you're super committed to this project go with the Rust-Oleum. I just used some to actually paint an accent border in an all white bath and it came out great.

Looking for a black toilet? Check craigslist....while some like the color and of course everything seems to come full circle I see them available there all the time from people remodeling their ear...

I would say screws but sometimes...depending on the age of the property it's not screws but nails which are more apt to "pull" out of the drywall and studs.

I have a small group of containers I picked up at a thrift store made like this. They even have leather lids....I think 1 of them might have been made to hold tobacco for a pipe smoker...either way...

I like the mouse for the price and if the project is not overly demanding....but hey if it burns out on the first project bring it back! And it'll need more sanding then after you're all done sandi...
