I found this at Container DS by Kuno Nüssli.  I think this industrial freight container-inspired piece of furniture would look good in my home.  It would be perfect for storing spare plates and drinking glasses.  As you know, I lack kitchen countertop space.  And with almost every one of my things out in the open, [...]

I need real blinds soon.  The ones hanging on my windows are temporary blinds made of paper.  And they’re getting dirty.  I can’t wash it because it’s paper.  Oh well, when I bought them I knew they wouldn’t last long. What I need is wooden blinds that would match the interior of my home.  [...]

This is sort of funny and very unexpected.  Our condo building is fairly new and unit construction can be seen in every floor.  Not only that, there is a new wing being built just beside our building so there are a lot of construction workers just about everywhere.  When I got in the service elevator [...]

In my continual quest to furnish our home with not so much money, I am thinking of buying one of these two things. If and only if they cost less than $100. I’m really not into matching things. That’s why these outdoor chairs with their different colors would be my best bet. And it looks [...]
