There's something about 'B' that makes it stand out. Can You Tell Which Chair Costs More Than a New Car? Design Quiz |

Nice chairs, but the post is very misleading. This makes it kind of annoying. To recreate the main photo showing four Soren chairs around a table would cost aprox. $1,700 for just chairs. Rev Up Your Room: Chic High-End Looks for Under $500 |

I like the idea of doing yellow in a kids room but it does seem like it would be a little nicer if the legs and pulls were a different color. Maybe use one of the colors from the fabric. Dresser Turned Yellow Charmer Before & After |

I echo all the great job comments and all the more picture/floor plan comments. If you're only going to have two photos they should be from the same vantage point. It would be one thing if they had just repainted and re-tiled, but with such a huge transformation these photos could be from any two kitchens.

Dresser-$200, Wallpaper-$100+/-, Wood veneer-$50, Custom base-guessing another $100, plus your time. You now have lets say a $500 dresser that you could maybe sell for $40! That's the real reason people are freaked out. Before & After: Ben's One-of-a-Kind Wallpapered Dresser |

When a graduated from design school I could fit every thing I owned in the back of my car. Was I a minimalist or just a poor college student? No one expects a 22 year old to have much that's why this post comes off a bit preachy. Also it maybe that people are looking at the silver bust and asking, "is this functional?

@ jennyd and alextrent- Anything man has ever made is design. Every 'product' on the market was 'designed' by someone. You are confusing this with an art competition. You should read some of the comments above as well because this DESIGN not only solves a problem many people reviewers have in terms of the function of their space but it also solves an aesthetic problem making this a beautiful design.

It's interesting that so many people are picking on the rotator. It's such a simple idea that most people are recognizing it's genius. The curved rods you've seen before don't rotate. I'm also surprised that no one is asking the same question of the wood pendant lamp. Who hasn't seen this idea before? Look! The Final 8 Entries in Our 2010 Design Showcase |

These are beautiful, but I gave them a one. A wood (grass) veneer barrel lamp isn't innovative or new. I've seen this concept for years. BRANN Pendant Lights by Jeremy Pickett Design Showcase 2010 |

wood, metal, leather, and nylon? Way so many materials for a "simple" design? Catenary Dining Chair by Will Kavesh & Emrys Berkower Design Showcase 2010 |

asinner- Yes HSN sells this, but if you had a brain you would have also noticed that it's Colleen's rod that they sell. The people that don't like this are most likely jealous that they didn't think of this. The idea is simple and that's it's brilliance. I know I'm a little jealous.

This chair could look great painted white, but I'm guessing you bought it because you like the wood? It looks like the seat cushion is not attached. If not, you can make a very simple slip cover for it with some inexpensive fabric that you can live with for now. Then simply cover the rest by running some more fabric over the back and front, kind of like a stair runner. Just stitch it the existing fabric. How to "Punch Up" This Chair?
