Finding the perfect organizer for your foyer (let’s be real: most of us just have a small hallway between the door and the living/dining room, but that’s fine) that does everything you want can be tedious. You need a place to put some shoes so you don’t track shit all over the place. You need a place to put the ... continue reading
Turning random pieces of hardware into art is possible, but it's not always easy. By the time you're done driving to Home Depot, assembling all the parts on the floor of the store, dealing with the weird looks of everyone in an orange apron and paying $4 a piece for pipe you might as well just buy something that's ... continue reading
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
A while back we showed you the Mayfair Steamer Secretary Trunk, which is a serious upgrade from pretty much anything that can be assembled with allen keys. While distressed cigar leather and brass nails are certainly classy, it’s not a style for everyone. If you like the idea of a workspace you can close up when ... continue reading
After having a few at a family gathering, it is not all together uncommon for us to have a bit of an issue getting a standard folding chair back into storage form, which is exactly why Chairigami is blowing our mind right now. Sure, upon hearing "cardboard furniture" you might be inclined to think the offerings from ... continue reading
We've never looked up at a transmission tower holding up power lines and thought, "Gotta get one of those for my foyer." To be honest, we've never thought much of them at all. The design must have caught the eyes of the folks at Palette Industries however, and the result is The Nanton Coat Rack. Such a structure ... continue reading
There comes a time in a guy's life when he needs to upgrade from the dorm room video game chairs that you can pick up from Bed Bath and Beyond for twenty bucks. While they're usually damn comfy, chances are they aren't doing much for the aesthetic appeal of your home and they're probably stained with Jungle Juice. The ... continue reading
One of the reasons we spend so much of our hard-earned money (if you consider paychecks accrued by writing about the latest bacon-covered foods and iPhone accessories "hard-earned") on stuff for our home is because we get tired very quickly of how our place looks. We'll put up a print, get a new coffee table or run ... continue reading
Before we were complaining that Bane is less understandable than someone at 2am on their 21st birthday, we were reading about The Dark Knight's adventures in the pages of a comic book. The same goes for The X-Men, Blade and a whole slew of other recent blockbusters. We got the dialogue in little, compact bubbles that ... continue reading
Michelangelo claimed he would look at a piece of marble, see the carving in it and simply proceed to set it free. It's kinda the same way we look at something as simplistic as a wooden pallet. We could rip those suckers apart and craft something way more useful than a stone angel (Cool Material - 1, Michelangelo - ... continue reading
We can't remember exactly when it happened (probably somewhere around the time jobs started getting measured in tens of thousands of dollars instead of per hour), but we began to pay more attention to some of life's finer things: a quality scotch or a nice vino, shoes designed specifically for "work" and well cut suits ... continue reading
We don't consider ourselves sneakerheads by any stretch of the imagination, but we have been known to indulge in a few extra unnecessary pairs of kicks simply because they looked good. If you think about it, it's pretty easy to rationalize the expenditure because we don't dabble in comic books and action figures anymore. ... continue reading
We've talked about industrial pipe shelving before, but it still continues to intrigue us. Repurposing home building materials (or anything at Home Depot, really) for use as design centerpieces is something most men consider themselves to be adept at, but there's a line. We know we could take a trip to the local hardware ... continue reading
The last time you had a shipping pallet in your place was probably when an essential appliance (read: gigantic 3D LED TV) got delivered. They're basically just a bunch of pieces of wood bonded together to hold (what we thought) was more important stuff on top and keep it safe during shipping. We'd be lying if we didn't ... continue reading
+1 might be the new big thing in social media, but this is still very much a "like" world. You don't tell people you enjoyed the 35 new pictures of their cat clogging up your news feed, you click the like button. All your friends having babies? Don't actually go see the newest addition to the family, just click like. ... continue reading
We've always been the type of guys that would rather do it ourselves when it comes to improving the place we call home. Saving money is definitely a part of it, but the satisfaction that comes from finishing a project—regardless of how small—with our own two hands is only eclipsed in excellence by the cold brew ... continue reading
