I sprayed the whole thing with primer, twice. Rolled on three coats of the Olympic paint to the main part of the dresser. Taped off the side edges of the drawers so that I could spray paint the Seaside Green to the tops of them. Once they were dry, I lined the drawers up and started stenciling using a foam roller brush and the same Olympic color that I used on the dresser. Viola.

Every once in a while we awe at something that is so cool that we wish it existed in the real world that we occupy. This is one of those things. One look at the image and you get it. Immediately. Visualized by American design firm Choi + Shine Architects , these massive structures look almost reassuring, like some gods that stand united watching over the lands. [Kind of reminds us of the The Gates of Argonath from the Lord of the Rings. ] The structure won the 2010 Boston Society of Architects Unbuilt Architecture Award and we bet it wouldn’t be the last accolade that it wins. From the architect’s site: This design transforms mundane electrical pylons into statues on the Icelandic landscape by making only …

Remember his crazy cubic chandeliers ? Here he is again – Robert at the peak of his student career, creating something at once simple but with infinite potential. Control switches sometimes give users the ability to adjust light levels, a step up from the classic on-or-off switch to be sure, but these simple-looking, box-shaped pendant lights take things to another level entirely. Each of the six sides to each cube is independently flexible, hooked together via a series of suspension wires that lets the user control their angle in three dimensions. The resulting possibilities for illuminating a room become essentially endless, as one can bend, twist and tweak each side to create interesting lighting effects or effective light channels for functional use. The culminating…

*Image from All About You . Growing up, my mom was continually redecorating our surroundings. Although we moved rather frequently, once we were situated somewhere, it wouldn’t be long before my older brother and I would come home from school only to hear mom’s inevitable “What if we moved the couch to the other wall and put the love seat over here?” I picked up the rearranging fever from her, continually tweaking and curating my bedroom as I grew. My redecorating M.O. always followed the same course: I’d take any and all decorative items and put them on my bed; after careful scrutiny, I’d redistribute them in new locations, deciding along the way that some just didn’t make the cut…

Materials: Krister Desk, Hack saw, Allen wrench, drill bit (or something to puncture the metal), Nuts and washers to fit the screws Description: I needed a much smaller TV stand for my new room which is only 9′X 9′ and after finding this site, I was incredibly motivated to tear apart the REALLY old Krister desk (pix, right) that had been sitting in the corner of my parents garage for years. It’s a fairly simple adjustment, and I still have a few left over parts which I may incorporate by way of shelves if I have the time. 1. remove both top and side pieces of metal from the desk, which includes the angled back, meant for the old CRT monitors, the mouse pad, the keyboard panel, the PC holster and it’s side support, and the monitor support …

Sure I appreciate the imagination and the effort behind their design, but most of them, and there are plenty of versions to choose from, seem too depressing for me and therefore I would think more than twice before choosing them for my new home. But the Concrete Wall patterns look pretty real and they might fit quite well with a few modern designs
