This post really made me think about the differences between our society now and what it was 150 years ago. Back then, a DIY was: Find some trees, spend hundreds of hours a physical exertion, and you've built yourself a home. Now it's: find a stand, place something arbitrary on the stand, and you've got yourself a stand.

"Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait, wait...I worry what you just heard was 'give me a lot of bacon and eggs.' What I said was 'give me all the bacon and eggs you have.'" - Ron Swanson

There's very little stainless in this picture; only the table legs are stainless.

It's hard to imagine a metal barrister bookcase somehow not looking great in any office. I'd certainly love to get one. As much as I love antique wood furniture, I'd actually prefer a metal one.

If you are planning a full remodel in a year's time, I would suggest you take that time for an exercise in patience and character building. Evaluate what you truly "need" and you might find that wasting money, even a relatively small amount, isn't a real necessity. From the looks of it, there are many people out there that would consider the kitchen you have now an improvement over their own.

Forget for a moment about how uncomfortable those leg holes would be or what it'd be like for a child to sit in that in the sun on a hot day. Take a look at the remaining portion left in the front between the leg holes. That WILL break eventually and it will not take long. It will snap and your child will instantly fall to the ground quite possibly being severely cut by what will be a sharp jagged edge. Do NOT expose your child to this danger.

For about a tenth of a second I was really excited about seeing Paul Reubens' home.

Must not let people on the interwebs think I don't know the difference between 'then' and 'than,' must correct lack of sleep typo...
Earlier I said "than good for him" when I meant to say, "then good for him."

@t-dawg Don't buy those crates on Etsy with inflated prices, go to an antique store and ask if they can do any better on their price (you should be able to get non rare crates for $12-16 or less depending on your location). I've been displaying things in those crates for years now and get mine at auctions and have managed to pay an average of less than one dollar per crate because I go to many and can selectively bid...but you can get them for $5 pretty often.

@ellsie22 - I wasn't exactly serious on that Trainspotting poster, though it is great for anyone that doesn't mind the language.

I wouldn't go so far as calling this clever or creative, however I would certainly use a crib spring as a memo board. It's nice, especially for anyone who likes the industrial look or has an eclectic style. As for the Christmas decor, that was a horrendous embarrassment.

I love the 1930s vintage steel cabinet (though I hate the price). But if you need a "conversation starter" in the bedroom, you might be in trouble.
