We took this picture a couple years ago in a hostel in Sevilla, Spain. We wouldn't classify it amongst the nicest places we've spent the night but the old chandelier's single blown bulb created the ...
One of the hazards of being a Do It Yourselfer is nasty splinters. (Well, the hazard is sort of a human one, not just a DIY one.) Last week I was handling a shim for a DIY project and managed to ge...

What looks like a simple set of shelves is not only a little more complicated, but also allows for multiple uses and configurations. The bracketing nature of this parenthesis-shaped shelving creates...
This clever room divider is from Anne and Todd's Gropius Meets Victorian House Tour in Jamaica Plain. We love the clean, graphic look of this divider which they made from......

We recently received a question about Blu Dot's Bonnie & Clyde sofa, which we just happen to own. A reader had seen the sofas in store and was inquiring about a depression in the center of Bonni...

I have two great fireplaces in my 1880s house in Cambridge that I'd like to get working again, preferably with gas inserts. The semi-oval shape of the opening and small size (about 25" wide on botto...
