Are you getting tired of your desktop's look and feel? Maybe you've collected some scratches and dings on your desk surface or perhaps you're an audiophile and want to minimize sound reflections from your work surface. Here's a fun DIY project with FLOR tiles that will create a new look and feel for your workspace. More
It's one of those things that nobody wants, but everybody needs in their home office. A utilitarian fireproof file cabinet is a must to keep your important documents safe and in order. But you don't have to settle for the metallic beige eyesores of your parents' den circa 1970. More
Yes, damn it. This is cute. Undeniably, sweetly cute. I don't usually like overly adorable things, but this might have tugged at my ovaries a bit. It's a lamb, and it's a pull toy. I mean, come on.
Every once in awhile I get a call from an area code and/or phone number I don't recognize. Nine out of ten times it's Direct TV trying to up-sell additional services or someone seeking donations.
