What about something like these ? Clean and simple when not in use, e.g. no logs to gather dust and cobwebs, and a somewha...

I've just finished doing just that in the living room, and its turned out rather well if I do say so myself. I went with a fairly vivid green, patterned, paper on the one wall and a very pale grey...

It looks great, but having your wine collection out exposed to the light like that isn't going to be doing it any favours.

Nephster, they're in the new Beacon South complex in Sandyford. There's also a Diamond Living (not too exciting), a Kube (some nice looking kitchens), and a Roche Bobois (some nice pieces, but big...

I can't speak for any of the shops in the US, but a BoConcept recently opened near me in Dublin and I've had a wonderful experience with them thus far. All the staff I've encountered...

A breadbin, on top of which again sit containers of muselli and porridge oats. The cat often sleeps behind the bread bin on a cool day.

Anne - to the best of my knowledge USB is USB and I've never had any trouble using an external hard drive over USB with Vista or XP. In theory, any empty enclosure should do the job, you put your ...

I would say that rather than trying to put the old drive into your new laptop, and all the potential warranty issues that could arise from opening up your new machine, try and get a 2.5" drive encl...

Actually these small mosaic tile are considerably more expensive than normal sized ceramic tiles ... particularly to have laid, although they usually come on sheets, the grouting between all those ...

Ye, I'd have to vote for none of the above as well ... nothing wrong with the idea, just don't see it as something I want or need at the moment.

Mobile phone, laptop, dSLR lenses & tripod, external HDD to back up photos, iPod ... and of courses all associated chargers, cables, etc.

Either the USB turntable or if your sound card has a suitable input then a standard turntable could be connected up. I've experienced both, and really what makes it successful is the software, e.g....

If the scanner and printer are separate units, it could be worth considering some sort of wireless print server (some wifi routers serve as a print server as well) and stowing the printer somewhere...

These have been around in my town for a while. In Dublin they particularly facilitate turning right (since we use the other side of the road). They're all well and good in theory, u...

I use my xbox 360 for the media streaming as well ... although it is only from my laptop in one corner of my studio flat to the other - but it's still wireless. I also use it for gamin...

I never like this idea of cutting up(or in some way destroying) books to make some other object ... be it lamps in this case, or shelves, iPod holders, etc. In this instance I like i...

Coincidentally I picked up a stack of the espresso cups last weekend. They're surprisingly good quality for the price (€12.49), a descent weight and stack nicely. They really are just the right...
