Cactus Designers, a group of French freelance designers based out of Lyon, recently combined efforts with Vaskéo to create some extraordinary sinks.

Cool Houses: Werner Sobek0
If I happened to be driving along the coast and saw the object in the picture above, I would swear that an alien invasion had begun. I’d be wrong, of course . . .
Beadboard Paneling2
I love beadboard. We’ve used it in a number of room renovations around the house including the bathroom, master bedroom and upstairs hallway. It’s a relatively quick way to cover a multitude of evils. And the end result is a nicely finished wall.
House in the Hill0
Those of you familiar with The Lord of the Rings (films or novels) probably hold a special place in your hearts for Hobbiton, a small town in The Shire. I know I do. How can you not fall in love with a town that is so ecologically in tune with the world that it builds houses inside of hills instead of on top of them?
Take a look of this video from the movie set of Hobbiton (located in New Zealand):
HGTV Dream Home Giveaway0
With just a few more days to enter HGTV’s Dream Home Sweepstakes, I finally took the opportunity to watch the online video tour.
Wow! The house is huge, with around 3,000 square feet of living space, plus something they call a “car barn,” which is a massive garage with a loft that could be built into even more living space.
A Heart-Shaped Sink0
Everyone gets flowers and candy. If you want to be original and really surprise your spouse/significant other for Valentine’s Day, you may want to get this:
Forcing Bulbs Indoors0
Think Spring!
In the throes of a double header, one-two punch of northeast snowstorms this week we’re resorting to projects that take our minds off the weather.
Paperwhites are easy bulbs for forcing indoors. They’re regulars on January/February windowsills around the house and a welcome sight for winter weary souls.
Bed Sheets that Make the World a Better Place0
I’m not sure why would want to, but if you’d like to simulate the experience of sleeping on pavement like a homeless person—all the while snuggled comfortably in your nice, warm bed – we’ve got the answer.
How to Make a Vase from a Wine Bottle1
As I thought about toasting an anniversary dinner with pomegranate liqueur, I was again struck by the elegance of the heavy bottle. I resolved to cut that bottle into a clear glass vase for hand-made crêpe paper poppies for St. Valentine’s Day. A bouquet of poppies would offer winter color, last longer and be cheaper than real flowers — a lovely present for a friend who appreciates hand-made gifts.
