Affordable modern platform bed
My architect friend is re-doing a small pad about a mile from my house. About a month ago, he was getting ready to move in, and was looking for a bed. Unsatisfied with what he was finding in the stores, he drew me a quick sketch and asked if I could build it. [...]
Slow Progress
I have been trying to get our Caroma Walvit wall mounted toilet installed since my post last week two weeks ago. Progress has been slow. I finally managed to get the frame that it hangs on secured, and the wall that will be slightly popped out to accommodate the tank framed in. [...]
Kiwi Acorn Bird Apartment
Two days ago, I posted about the Blomus Bird feeder. Now that you have flocks of birds coming to your backyard why not indulge them with their own bird house. Actually its not a bird house, its a bird apartment. It’s what all the cool modernist birds are living in these days. [...]
Butterfly Leg Table
Urban Outfitters has always had great style and an affordable price. This simple, yet classy Butterfly Leg Table is a great example of why I wish I lived a little closer to one of their stores. Available in either orange or expresso, and accented by a stainless steel trim around the rim, this [...]

Stay Tuned…
Next week I’ll be back with pics of some cabinetry and a bed I did for a friend, plus some updated pics of the wall hung toilet install.

Just a couple of days ago, I posted about some grilling tools that were on sale over at the MoMA Store. I also asked if anyone knew of any affordable modern grills. Thanks to you guys, we had a lot of great comments. Some of the modern grills mentioned were:
Fuego Grill
A weird [...]
Kerf Design
Kerf Design, makers of high end custom cabinetry and furniture, relaunched their website a couple of months ago. I have been meaning to let everyone know, but forgot until today. Kerf is one of my favorite cabinetry and furniture designers/builders. They have a style that reminds me a lot of Blu-Dot. [...]
Woollyhoodwink Dolls
Love the look of the ugly dolls, but think they are just a little too ugly? Then like me, you will love these Woollyhoodwink Dolls. Designed by Jeff Root, this collection of incredibly cute plush woodland creatures are some of the coolest little dolls I have seen in a long time. Jeff [...]
Modern Grilling
As the summer heat presses on, many people turn to the outdoors for cooking their food. While I still haven’t found a great affordable modern grill, the MoMA Store currently has some nice stainless steel grilling tools for a decent price. Made in Denmark and designed by Claus Jensen and Henrik Holbaek, these [...]
