This is a new generation of cordless nailers! More

Unless you never venture beyond your doorstep checking the weather is an important part of any morning routine. We have found our five favorite ways to check the weather and were wanting you to shares yours below. More

The time has come to outfit myself with the proper tools for (very casual, renter-style) home repair. Though my handy cordless drill could never be considered pretty, I'm determined to find tools that are well-crafted, long-lasting and lovely to behold. More

My husband and I love our Craftsman tool chest. It was one of the best investments we made for our home — a central place to have our tools located, organized and stored. Plus, it's shiny and red and that never hurts. But there's one major thing we wish we would have known about this type of tool chest before we put it to work and we want everyone to know so they don't have the same problems we did! More

Sometimes the best ingenuity happens when you're between a rock and a hard place. The previous owner of my home had a cat. A nice yet ridiculously furry cat.

We simply replied, "To see in the dark". That's the sole purpose of a flashlight. More

A lot of people toss around the term “minimalist” these days as they try to describe very simple (or simplistic — in the case of our trusty Patrick Star) design. When stripping away the aesthetics and meaning to its bare minimum, the designer mustn’t sacrifice performance and usability. This task is harder than it sounds. There are few who get the final product just right. After the jump we’ll show you a free (and ad-less) online to-do list that marries form and function in a very understated and straightforward manor. More

Last week a few of us attended the Martha Stewart Bloggers' Night Out in the Starrett Lehigh building in Chelsea, NYC. It was PACKED with bloggers and press people, but we managed to snap a couple of photos of some very cool new paint products, including a kit with tools to Martha-ize your walls.
