If people are so concerned about protecting their books, storing them on the side is a bad idea altogether. If however, their main concern is with showing off how many books they own, or how 'au co...

At least it adds a punch of color to an otherwise bland block, and a much needed jolt of interest. I hope it suitably annoyed the (boringly beige) neighbors.

Clean it with glue/mastic remover and/or a grinder, seal it and and leave it alone. Don't touch the railing, except perhaps to 'oil the iron to refresh the metal. It is not 'dated,' rather a classi...

Most people have WAY to many knives anyways -- most of use only really need 2-3 high quality ones. Avoid the sets and save your $$ for a good quality chef's knife. Knives on displa...

While I like liked th blending of modern and traditional in last year's TROLLSTA designs, this is too much. However, I'm with whytephoenix and say that the cross braces are intrigui...

I concur with the other posts -- they are called ;Cup Hooks' for a reason Nevertheless, they really work well in this situation with the colored cabinets and glass doors (and it doesn'...

Sorry,. I'll be too busy remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that others are able to live in a free and democratic society and partake is such frivoulous activities. ...

Remove the brick, even if it means replacing the drywall/plaster behind it. It shouldn't cost to much to do (esp if you help out with the demo) and it really isn't to big of a project in such a sm...
