What a fortunate cat to have an owner care enough to ask a design website about such things.

I guess the word 'hack' doesn't mean what it used to.

Why are the thumbnail pictures ON this post linked TO this post? I'd press the F5 key if I wanted to refresh the page. It's unnecessary and annoying.

Is it just to increase page views for ad dollars?

Very, very nice. The only thing I'd change is also part of my favorite part- the slate stairs. The half tiles on the left/right sides have exposed cuts that, to me, look slightly unfinished.

I purchased that exact edging tool AT linked to on Amazon. It failed miserably.

Really? A fort is a home hack? These are getting more and more out there, almost as if there's a need for filler posts.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a reversible comforter up next. Turn if over, that's a home hack! ;)

I just got 2 of these:

The bamboo inner shade does not have to be installed. The bracket is angled instead of a 90°, but they're pretty close other than that. You could even find a thick-walled drinking glass and drill a hole in it to match the Berger sconce.

I've had fruit fly families try to move in with me in a few apartments, and what works every time is the Vector 960 Fruit Fly Trap. It's a small round container with holes in the lid and a syrupy goo inside. Just put one on a high shelf where it won't get knocked down and most will be gone within a couple days.

You can even buy them on eBay if your local pest control doesn't do retail sales (or if you don't one local to you).

One more- Have a mirror cut to place on top of the sideboard. The reflection of those two lamps will anchor it even more than they are. It won't look barren even if it is.

-Small 4 bottle wine rack, possibly with glass storage (upside down, you don't want dust in the glasses).
-Martini set.
-Glass carafe set with glasses on a dedicated tray. Vodka's nice because it's clear, don't get scotch or whiskey unless you'll drink it.
-Live bamboo sticks in a vase.
-Small indoor planter with simple green grass.
-If you can pull it off, a sunflower.

Can someone tell me where to get that lamp in the first picture? It's the round white table lamp with the brown shade. I've scoured what google and bing throw at me for lampshades, but that's a deep abyss.
