Cardboard Chaise Lounge

Visit Instructables!
Recently my roommate and I moved into an apartment. We both lacked any furniture so we had somewhat of a shopping spree at the local IKEA. So with all that new furniture came lots of boxes. However, a box from IKEA does not equal the fun large box of my youth. They are flat [...]

The Trollsta tray table - $99

Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]

Knock-Off Report: Overstock.com and Mid-Century Modern Design

By Ty Wenzel • Aug 30th, 2008 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors, Product & Merch, Retro Modern

I am a big fan of knock-offs, particularly since I (a) am always on a budget, and (b) I have a 6 year old that likes to destroy furniture during his adventures throughout the house.  I cannot put a $550 Eames chair in the living room simply because it will be probably be nicked, ridden [...]

I was lucky enough to have a babysitter on Saturday so I could visit my favorite hang-out, Ikea.  In addition to perusing kitchen cabinets for my upcoming gutting of my microscopic kitchen, I took some photos of some of my favorite pieces.
I really love the way Ikea creates the vignettes of actual spaces.  Some of [...]

We needed a few things from IKEA this week, but we were seriously short on time AND we didn’t have a car. So we got on Craigslist and called a few of the IKEA pickup and delivery services that advertise there. We hooked up with Eric’s IKEA Delivery Alternative and it was really easy and [...]

Scoring in the Hamptons

By Ty Wenzel • Jun 3rd, 2008 • Category: Featured, General, Interiors Exteriors, Mama Ty's Personal Baggage

So the other day, my good friend (and goddess), Jenna Minardi, asked me if I’d be interested in pillaging a Hamptons house’s goods since it was being torn down. The good-hearted owner was asking people to take what was in the house before demolition began.
Jenna never ceases to amaze me. Besides being an insanely beautiful [...]
