@doodlebug - It's correct that the engineer prints aren't designed for photos, but you can ignore that and give it a shot anyway. I've done it and they were super streaky, but I got what I paid for. I think these shots make them look a lot better than yours most likely will look


Large Scale Art on the Cheap: Black & White Engineer, Draft or Blueprint Copies A Beautiful Mess

I have that UP cover from SocietySix and I would NOT recommend buying it. The design is peeling off the case and it's so snug on the phone that it's impossible to get off. I feel like I'm going to break the phone or case if I remove it.

Totally not worth $40.

I have this salad spinner from Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/7fcjgz7 and I LOVE it. I thought a salad spinner was completely useless until I got this.

It's small, but I think you can get enough spun for two people pretty quickly. I've actually used the drainer inside on its own quite often too. It fits nicely in my small studio apartment kitchen. It fits in my pots and pans cabinet.

I like this, but I don't feel like the pictures show us how the small space is utilized. It's pictures of wall art

I like pinterest, but as misterklein said I use it more for visual bookmarking than inspiration. It makes certain things much easier.

My dislike of pinterest is the people who repeatedly comment with "how do I find that dress?" "what's the recipe?" "how much does it cost?", JUST CLICK THE PICTURE! I acknowledge that there is a learning curve with anything new, but c'mon it's the Internet, you click, you type, it's not that hard.

I also can't stand all the Facebook posts about Pinterest filling my newsfeed, either people talking about how they don't get it, but still "use" it or showing everything they repinned in the last two hours.

I use my grandfather's Navy foot locker has my media console. I didn't want to mess with it, but it needed to be taller so I bought a piece of plywood, had it trimmed to slightly smaller than the trunk and attached feet to that. I were to do it again, I would put wheels on it instead

I recently inherited a trunk that looks exactly the same. It was my Grandfather's navy trunk.

I turned mine into a TV stand, I attached legs to a piece of plywood slight smaller than the trunk and put it on top. I was too nervous to put them directly on the trunk.

If I put more thought into, I would have done it with wheels instead.

i've been to Cayo Espanto in Belize and it was quite magical. You never want to leave, they take excellent care of you and everything is beautiful.

I enjoy that four of the pictures are actually exteriors..

I haven't seen many of these movies, but I loved Mark Ruffalo's garden Julianne Moore was working on.

oh, yikes, this post makes me feel bad about my apartment, but fellow procrastinaters in the comments made me feel much better. I'm at 14 months and I still have all my artwork on the floor waiting to be hung and no kitchen table.

I second the question about the raven print, in fact all that art looks amazing.
