This build-it-yourself table by a first time furniture builder is one of the sharpest we've seen in a long time. The construction and craftsmanship look like that of an experienced builder. They explain the process which includes re-usable materials.
This is a table built out of old pine & fir joists I bought at a Recycling & Salvage place up in Chicago. The dimensions and design came from a table that was at the store up there, but that they refused to sell. So I took measurements and photos, and bought the wood I thought I needed to build the same thing. It's my first shot at furniture, and as long as I go really slow, it might work out all right.
More photos of the table here and here.
We'd go with the Pirates of the Caribbean themed home theater. The starry night sky is awesome and reminds us of the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland. We can hear the crickets now.
The other home theaters here are just as impressive, especially if you are a fan of Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Trek, or Scarface (our runner-up).
Patrick Blanc is one of the most high-profile pioneers in the fantastic world of green walls. These vertical gardens are beginning to proliferate across Europe and it won't be long before we see them across major US cities.
Proponents argue that by infusing an exterior wall with a living organism such as plants the ambient temperature of the structure and it's surrounding areas goes down which in turn draws down the amount of energy needed to heat or cool. Unlike vines which are set to just keep growing, these vertical gardens are highly engineered from placement to irrigation which typically comes from rainwater storage.
@nakedapartments shared this quick and easy indoor terrarium project. It should take you less than an hour and cost about $20. Low investment for a unique and pretty addition to any room.
Here's what you need to get started.
