I live in a... "uniquely" converted brownstone, so my bathroom light also happens to be inside my medicine cabinet. I also have a tiny sink with no room for anything around it, and put in a small s...

I never thought that I'd be one to have pink curtains, but when I could only find beige, tan, and navy curtains to fit in my 10 foot high windows, I decided to make my own. While fabric shopping, I...

I would use my IKEA splatter screen more often, but the last time I used it on my gas stove, it started to... smoke? I didn't have the heat on too high, and I had used it just fine on an electric r...

I've been using a 2x4 Expedit turned on its "side" as a low room divider, separating my studio desk from my living room area... I love it, I can store and hide so easily and it doubles as a work su...

oh, nice! an illustrator friend of mine recently painted her own for a show we were in. http://eyesorestudios.com/ (go to artwork, and it's the very first t...

anyone know when these items will be available in-store? I'm moving into my own place in a couple weeks and need to buy a ton of furniture (I only have a bed and a desk to my name!)

With the right facilities, all of these could be printed in half an hour. Total for all three. I can see them being interesting in a cafe or restaurant, but they're a little intense fo...
