There is a little shop in Hoboken that I pass by occasionally — but today what I saw from the door made me go inside to take a closer look. This beautiful secretary has a few little hidden storage compartments which of course makes it even more of a find. More

Q: We're planning a kitchen remodel in our 50s cottage and would like to preserve the character by including painted metal cabinets with enamel surfaces. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find a single source for new or custom. We're a little baffled by this; we have one cast iron/enamel cabinet now and have found it to be very durable. Is there some big downside to enamel countertops that we're missing? And do you or your readers know of any source, other than antique stores, for this type of kitchen furniture? Thanks!

I am loving this cabinet design by Alexander Taylor for Established & Sons. Shown here in the 4 versions, the cabinet is made from mild steel and meant to resemble an audio speaker. The punch holes serve more than just a decorative purpose and also aid in adding strength to the thin gauge aluminum used. More

Q: My bathroom is very narrow. I want to replace the existing hinged door and instead install one of the new blue glass PAX wardrobe doors. The glass door will be about 6" taller then the door opening (I'll have to remove the molding etc.. first) and should slide easily along the wall to cover the door opening. Does anyone have any experience using an IKEA sliding door this way? Is this going to make me crazy as I try to implement it or is it really do-able? More

Q -Any idea who makes this cabinet? We purchased it from DWR, but are now trying to sell it and can't find it anywhere. Maybe one of your readers knows? Thanks! Jess

The Ping Pong Door was a big hit on Ohdeedoh, but we wanted to make certain that all the New Yorkers saw this one too! I've longed for the room for a proper table tennis venue in my apartment — and while this particular design by Tobias Franzel still wont' fit into my own space, it is a step in the right direction...

The color isn't the one we'd choose for our own home, but this concept is so cool. High ceilings like the ones in this loft leave normal-height doors looking rather, well, normal. So what about playing them up with some ceiling-height drapery?... More

This DIY project from Sweden belongs in our earlier Stylish Shed Roundup — Heike’s Outdoor Hideaway was featured on Ohdeedoh (via DesignSponge) late last week and it's a great example of creating an original design out of discarded materials...

I love to take pictures of doors as they are like taking pictures of the face of a building. Weathered, worn, colorful and practical, they are designs that have stories to tell and which reveal the distinctive color palette of the city. Here are a few pics — mainly of doors, but also including doorbells, colorful walls, the stone street and a remarkable shutter. More
