Look!: Concrete Pass-Through Sinks

Look! Shower Curtains on the Windows

Last evening, we spent an hour hanging shower curtains on our living room and kitchen windows. We wanted 72-inch curtains that would graze the ledge of our large windows. Although that's not a stand...

Look! New Torsby Sideboard

Look!: A Makeshift Hammock

It took three planes, one taxi, and a very long ride in a speedboat to prove to us that the language of DIY is international. Jump down to see where we found this homemade hammock and how we think it'...

Look!: Orange and Purple Color Combo

Look! Home Pics from Bits and Bobbins

Look! Doctor's Office Design

Look! The House on a Hill

Look!: Deux Duplex
Montreal

One typical housing type here in Montreal is the duplex apartment. What's new to us, though, is their relationship. They're not side-by-side, but stacked. The front doors are next to one another. On...

Look!: Discount Store Find

While out at a local salvage store in Kansas City, we came across these. Not being 100% sure what they are, they intrigued us. They sat tucked away with the "manly tool and construction materials" ...

Look! Bell Bottomed Tables at World Market

While cruising the summer sales at World Market, we came across the wide legged Hako tables. We had seen them online with the other new furniture/decor items released a few weeks ago.... but hadn't ...

Look! Seeing 1's
