Hey, that's my suitcase!

By rdougher

Traveling soon and bored with old cheap luggage that looks like everyone elses. Don't want to spend bucks on good stuff just to have it tossed around. Had some neon paint and old stencils around the house so I spruced up my old suitcase and it only took a few minutes. I'm not at all artistict but someone who is could do a really good job. No one will be picking up my luggage by mistake. »MORE

Finally getting my Curbly on!

By thomasweaver

I've been a member of this site for some time now, but I have yet to take the time and contribute! I'm an artsy person with a love of modern beauty. I don't claim to be a interior designer so I hope the critics go easy on me. I love to create things, and always have some project or experiment in the works. I enjoy making my space tranquil and as beautiful as I can. I would describe my perspective as modern/zen/handsome/organic. I like modern mixed with clean lines, a luxury look on a budget. I posted some pictures in... »MORE

2x4 or 2x6

By houseplanarchitect

I do a lot of modifications ot house plans that people buy on the net. The most common are changing the exterior walls to 2x6 and changing the foundation to a crawlspace, walk out basement, or full basement. If you plan to stay in your house for a long time you should look at the energy savings possible with a 2x6 exterior wall, you can get a lot more insulation in there, and your heating / cooling load will go way down. Changing the foundation that comes with " ready made" house plans is the next most common change. If... »MORE

Smart Lamp....

By lilybee

It's called Smart (Actually it's got those dot thingys over the 'A' but I don't know how to do them on my computer) and it is... I Found this fellow whilst perusing Ikea for a desk lamp. I was astounded. It doesn't look like a 20 Dollar lamp. It looks well, designery. It comes in various different patterns and it's mouth blown, and awesome. »MORE

Leaky Exterior Wall?

By sillygirl

Anybody have any experience with a leaky brick wall? I was getting ready to paint my new bedroom and found a nice 4x5inch patch of plaster that as soon as I touched it crumbled along with whatever sandish kind of patch they had used to fix what looks like a brick or two that might have been leaky. There aren't any pipes that run over this area and the closet next to the patch is fine... so it looks like I've got a brick or two that's leaky. Can I patch it? Who do you call? It's not under my... »MORE

The House Stays in the Picture...

By lilybee

Last September Ed Norton and chums were filming some scenes for the new Hulk movie on Yonge Street in Toronto, about half a block away from our flat. Whilst watching the movie we played 'spot the subtly altered landmark'. It got me to thinking, how does one get one's house in the movies? A bit of research came up with this info. I'd say it's probably easier to be a pushy stage parent to your house if you live someplace like New York, L.A. or Vancouver, But you never know... The image is from The House of Sand and... »MORE

Hitting the Big Time...

By lilybee

Over at Ohdeedoh they have a post about oversize baby bottle lamps, with a link to a company called greatbigstuff.com. Now I LOVE stuff that is either comically large or perfectly miniature. (I clutch the tiny booze bottles on airplanes and pretend to be a giant... for hours... sometimes out loud.) Here's a roundup of the house ware type stuff you could acquire if you are similarly afflicted. A Great Big Alarm Clock $79.77. This fellow is a foot and a half tall, just think how grateful your neighbours will be when they too receive a wake up call... »MORE
