The Spicelab Bar at Etsy.

By Chrisjob

I'm charmed by this Spicelab bar from PurposeDesign, featured in the Etsy Storque. Sure, it's not the only of its kind, but its construction is inspiring for DIY attempt, or not overpriced if you just wanna purchase one. »MORE

This month's Workbench Magazine has a nice tutorial on how to refinish hardware. BUT you don't have to buy the mag to get the details. Just head on over to this Workbench page and then click on the 'online extras' that appears to the left of the article.

By DIY Maven

Lucky%20luke%20design%20night%20owl%20headboard%20nightime%20big

The Night Owl illuminated headboard was crafted by Lucky Luke Design with small spaces in mind as it eliminates the need for bedside lamps. Each side of the headboard has a dimmer independent from the other. No info on the price, which we all know is code for a lot, which leads me to wonder...is it DIYable?? My vote is yes. »MORE

I figured why not put a layer of magnetic paint underneath it. The only thing left to do is paint my face underneath the arrow." It took Chris around five coats to get a smooth finish ready for markers. Easy enough. »MORE

Why you should buy stemless wine glasses.

By DIY Maven

If you’re in the market for new drinking glasses, buy stemless wine glasses. Why? Because they are incredibly versatile, that’s why! They’re even great for people who don’t partake of the grape. Check it out....Besides making a modern statement when sipping or serving Merlot, they do non-alcoholic quite nicely. They also make lovely votive candle holders, and even vases. A stemless wine glass like the one in the examples can be found at such places as World Market, where they can cost as little as 2 bucks a piece. »MORE
