Magazine Horse

2007-07-30T22:07:00.000-07:00

During my life growing up on a ranch, I wish I had thought of this idea. Our saddle horses didn't look this clean and glamorous, but they always served the function of holding the sweaty saddles after a long ride. This model will hold my own ass as well as my magazines: http://www.eosmexico.com/.

Burned Out? Recycle.

2007-07-30T20:13:00.000-07:00

Your burned-out light bulbs don't belong to the waste basket anymore, they belong to the "Inkubator" and your ideas become terrific light objects. Bulbs Unlimited is a system, which transforms European standard light bulbs into various, spectacular light objects. Therefore light bulbs were linked together, like Lego® bricks, by simple snap buttons (press buttons). A custom-built positioning device, “the Inkubator” maintains to fix the snap buttons on defined positions on bulbs surfaces, by using a unique glue. The chance to locate snap buttons on several different positions on bulbs surfaces, guaranteed an unlimited number of potential light objects.

The Sofa | Before + After

2007-07-24T12:20:00.000-07:00

It is quite amazing what kind of transformation can be made out of the discovery of fabric you may have hanging around the house. I had been shopping for fabric with thoughts of reupolstering this old couch for weeks, until one sleepless morning, I looked at my curtain-covered closet to discover the perfect material! Yes, it was in front of me all along...and I remembered that I had purchased two large panels of the canvas-like material which I tucked away for later use in my storage unit. Here's the most amazing detail; the total cost of the material was $12. Yes, $12. I challenge those of you on an upholstery mission to find such a great deal. Best of luck, and yes, send your stories...

The Three Dollar Wassily Chair

This is a story you must ask me about in person. I paid 3 dollars + tax for this chair. I had to follow (some would call it stalking) to find out where the truck was taking this piece. I knew it was getting dumped somewhere that it would not be respected. It was a Sunday, I had time on my hands and a triple iced latte in my cup holder.
