I had been waiting for a Speed racer live action film since I was 5 years old (almost 35 years in the waiting) and frankly the makers of the Matrix did not disappoint. I thought the story was good...

I just found an identical side table at a goodwill a month and a half ago. I am in process of refinishing it because it was terribly marked up by stains. It was only $9 and i bought it cause it w...

To add to wig3000's comment. You often can just save your image as a jpeg on a cdrom and take it to a place where they can print photos from disc. The photopriinting machines don't care that your...

My wife and I seriously thought of putting this above our fireplace, but it was too long and pricey. We then thought of DIYing something similar, but we went in a different direction. I am glad o...

I agree this bed is ripe for hacking, but not as a bed. I saw it in the store, it was way to flimsy, even for a kid. However, for $35 I almost bought it for spare parts to use in art projects an...

This kind of DIY is my favorite, because it is something that can be done relatively quickly (I did one myself in a couple hours, as an Ikea hack.), allows for a lot of personal touches, and it ma...

Not to feel left out from the 123 other lamp loving and deserving AT readers, I would love to give this lamp a new home. My SO and I are painting this holiday weekend, and a new lamp would top it ...
