Loosetooth's Profile

My first thought was to get clear, flexible, plastic tubing (like for aquarium stuff, but larger diameter. Cut it into maybe 2" lengths, cut it open and wrap in around the metal. I would guess that it wouldn't need to wrap all the way around the hold on. Like the outlet covers, it'd be a very cheap experiment.

First thing came to mind was to use a wood stretchers for a painting as your base. They come in plenty of sizes, aren't too expensive, good base to staple into. And while tufting is a pain, maybe you could use nailhead trim or individual nailheads to add interest. Hope that helps. :^)

I take a ton of supplements/vitamins too. I took those small round containers sold as craft organizers that screw together. I have 3 compartments for my 3x day. 7 separate stacks of 3 to cover the week. I stuck a vinyl letter on the top to note the day. Great for traveling since I can just grab the days I need.

Fanastic! I think this works because it's an accent wall and the other fence is plain + it's the perfect color scheme. There's the right balance of range of color but it's still in a limited color palette. So it's visually interesting without being too garish.

I know some tastes think it's way too garish, but with more colors and variety in the woods in could have been 10x of the Garish Scale. I'd love to see an Official Apartment Therapy Garish (Garosity?) Scale. 0 = White, Empty Box Minimalism 10 = Loco Rococo. Then we could all reference our own tastes. "I like this, but I'm an 8 on the OATGS." ;^)

Like @MonicaK, I am completely in love with my king sized bed. In a long-distance relationship, I'm happy to share the bed with my sweetie when he's here. And I'm super comfy in it solo. It may be decadent, but I adore my giant bed island. My 12'x13' bedroom fits it fine.

I adore living alone + I've been with my fella for 4 years, 1 of which was in my 570 sq ft apartment and 3 have been long-distance. That one year was tough since I am very particular about my stuff. For instance, I hate commercial packaging, so I put my bath stuff in plain containers and kitchen stuff in glass jars. My SO first went to take a shower and had no idea what was what.

So, I definitely miss my sweetie when we're apart, but I do also relish the time alone. And the decadence of sleeping solo in a king-sized bed. And letting the place get super messy when I'm too busy working on my projects.

Gorgeous. I really like the two-tone version too in the trivet tutorial. I was thinking of making a felt curtain to help dampen noise in my bedroom. A large scale version of this would be FANTASTIC.

@TRUEPEACENIK I wish that dresser was modular too. Or I wish it had a flat top so I could stack them more easily. It's one of my fave kind of Ikea pieces - one I instantly want to modify/hack and make my own.

Brilliant. I wonder if these piece would hold up to being assembled and disassembled? I would guess so and the opportunity for tiny storage would be fantastic.

I am pro-pro-framing, but not everyone has the budget for it. Why not use felt or rubber dot bumpers on the corners or sugru to cover any sharp hardware? Agree that you want art to stay safely on the wall in tact.
