I love the plumbing unit! I've been looking into doing one and came across this gorgeous one with a closed cabinet section also: http://hindsvik.com/?p=3167
Love #2, 5, and 6. Maybe I can get my husband to make one of those....
that plumbing shelving is completely awesome!
The pixelated portrait was a project I did in art school. I chose Dan Rather.
The fake feather lamp hangs over my dining room table and is the best $10 I ever spent. My then 5yo niece helped me make it.
Proud to say I just finished my plumbing shelves. I customized it by using 1.25" reclaimed 60 y/o pine (yes, I know, not the best wood for shelves, but it's what the salvage yard had), making 3 cabinets and fitting it with my slanted roof. Turned out great.
Yes, I am shamelessly bragging.

I'm interested in seeing pics of your feather lamp! I've been wanting to make one myself for a long time.
great project ideas! now just need the time, and ability to pick one!
anyone know of good resources for finding a bitchin' southwestern rug like in #5? I'd prefer vintage but I'm open... seems hard to find ones that aren't super tacky, that one is kind of perfect.
