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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve already designed an entire kid’s room in my head starting with this amazing bedding found via swissmiss. I’m very tempted to purchase even though I am sans children.

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 [...]

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 [...]

My name is Ty, and I’m an Ikea addict. Although I am no where near an actual Ikea store, I do, however, troll their website every week and still manage to find fun and interesting pieces that I would drive the 100 miles just to snag. What I love about Ikea is that [...]

We’ve featured various Do It Yourself projects from Instructables.com before: the DIY Book Lampshade and How To…Make Hungarian Shelves. We just stumbled across Instructables member Daniel Saake’s plans for a dodecahedron pendant lamp made from 12 of IKEA’s inexpensive $4.99 LAMPAN lamps…

It looks simple enough from the online instructions (pdf). There are also instructions for [...]

I always know when it’s time to write about Spring. I have a rogue crocus that blooms below my woodland hydrangea every year. It’s not particularly pretty, just a little thing – but it plays my barometer. It tells me that Spring is nearly here and although Frost is not over, it [...]
