I totally made this after seeing the original from 2008 i only had a single bike, but i added hooks for helmets and tools with the addition of a lengthened bar for the bottom to hold my snowboard. the sky is the limit as the modularity of this design allows for amazing options. build it and you will not be disappointed!!!

has anybody ever been in a backyard shed during the day??? holy crap this would be hot as billy hell (especially since the roof is not insulated) and yay, a single floro tube to work by at night...i can see it now! However, i do love small footprint designs and solutions, just saying this can be done better. so if you design your own, be sure and build in insulation (for summer AND winter) and build it with ventilation/AC and heat solutions in mind.

umm really.. canning supplies are a collection??? whatev! I love those plates on the wall... i think if i remember correctly they used the gear at http://www.allplatehangers.com/Plate-Hangers to hang those. @mirandabee (this is becoming a trend) umm ya, the only cool piece in that line of white is the fiestaware pitcher on the far left. (too bad they didnt adjust the electrical conduit to be less obvious when doing the cabinets). teapots are awesome and can be way whimsical and less functional (and me likes it that way). and while i'm sure Amy is a quality individual, that looks like the shelf at many a thrift store.

nope... i'm going to call BS on this!!! just because you have a piece of folk art, a distressed piece or some antiques, does not wabi-sabi therefore make!

I think the so called new found interest is that people DO like and cherish some things that are not showroom/design house immaculate. I like to think that it makes some of the automaton's I've seen on this site and elsewhere seem like they still have at least a shred of personality left. that being said, i know there will be a million people out there that will go out of their way to have something "Look" unfinished and rustic just so they can say.. "yep, i'm on top of it... not only do i know yellow is the biggest color in fashion, but i'm sooo wabi-sabi too!"

sigh... i sure don't mean for my posts to be negative, it's just that the ones that get under my skin and push me to comment are the ones i take offense to. sand oyster=pearl (maybe???)

umm wow... from the looks of that living room, i'd say you got rid of comfort! bet you didn't even notice. the rug looks like barefoot fun tho. and ya, all broadcast tv is a nightmare of wasted time. hulu with windows mediacenter = good focused short term entertainment options.

design and architecture porn mags are a VERY good option to lose as well, as slowdown mentioned, they just make you feel sad and less than...

oh, and pare your book collections down to stuff you really will read again, otherwise it's just a space hog and people will "get" that you're well read by talking to you rather than perusing your wall of fame. use a book trading service or donate to church or school libraries.

yay, hearts and stars everyone...

looks sweet, but man talk about trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear!!! those tables will not take much moving or bumping as described before they start to get all loose in the joints like an overcooked turkey!

However, this is a pretty snappy looking hack and if you brace the legs to the lack table top with angle brackets, and use dowels (should even be free in the parts drawers at ikea) to connect the tables together. yes it requires a little drilling and careful measuring, it'd be worth doing.

The other thing is that i cant help but think that you can go less costly on the block top. this 23"X23" one from the container store is closer in size to the lack dimensions (21 5/8"X21 5/8") leaving less overhang to potentially break off during an overzealous calamari tenderizing session! http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?searchId=22067333&itemIndex=7&CATID=13366&PRODID=60707

3rd pic is super subtle spring to me, i wonder what the rest of the bed arrangement looks like, pic 1 umm who's comforted by an overly large bandanna...not this guy! the rest seems very umm target teen bedroom to me. i sure hope there are better options in this line... but of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... i'd just like to see more of what's behind curtain #3

yeah, i like it too. always a fan of that robins egg/tiffany blue. i also like the juxtaposition of the old school shop stool with the technology laden washer/dryer. though, i cant imagine spending a lot of time sewing on that stool. i have one in in front of my computer, so it insures that i dont dally too long there. not comfy at all. LOL

cluttered??? This is what happens when you actually LIVE in a home/room/closet however small the place is instead of making a space antiseptic and devoid of signs of life (as it appears so many here want to have an art studio for a home)

ummm do you live next door??? many of the sweet posh hotels in LA are 1. much more than $10 to park at (keep in mind that LA for its size is nowhere near public transportation connected like an NYC or the like!!!) let alone swill an overpriced iced tea for $10 or less.
2. Try rolling up on your retro Schwinn and see if they'll seat you.
3. try finding a taxi somewhere other than the airport to take you to one.

more to the point, do you really want to mimic or get your ideas for design from places that cater to the idle (tasteless) rich lowest common denominator? why not just get an iced latte at starbucks and tour model mcmansion homes.

What happened to personal flair and making your space comfortable for you, not some "design within reach" catalog page that you think your friends will approve of.
