A recent published study done by researchers at the Duke School of Medicine reports gamers "see the world differently" than non-gamers. We're not talking about vision of the 20/20 variety, but the ability of the eyes and brain to track visual movement, which researchers discovered is much more acute amongst those who called themselves "very intensive gamers."

I recently came across this adorable little vintage milking stool at a pop-up shop, and couldn't wait to get it home. I've been looking for a small step stool to live in my kitchen and this one is sturdy and balanced enough (it's stronger than it looks) for me to use as a quick "leg up." When, I got it, the stool's paint was cracking and peeling, so I couldn't wait to get it home to put this glossy, new orange coat on it.

I drool over high-end designer pieces as much as the next gal, but often their prices are more than what I could use to put together an entire room. The black marble and graphic silver base of this coffee table inspired a bold living area full of pattern and texture which includes a similar table and tallies up at a price almost equal to the collectible. Which would you rather have, the collectible, or the complete room?

When I was growing up, my parents and I always sat in the same spots at the kitchen table, every single meal. When my little brother came along years later, he got the empty spot across from me, up against the freezing-cold-in-winter window — that's what little brothers are for, right? But sometimes, when I come home to visit, he's in my spot and nothing makes sense anymore..

When photographer Rylee Hitchner was getting married, she dreamed of DIYing organic hypertufa pots with moss matted to the outside and gorgeous plants cascading over them. But two weeks before the big day, those pots still weren't done. Find out how she turned a bag of Portland cement into a rustic centerpiece, without the weeks and weeks of aging.

Like many his age, Julian just loves cars. In order to save money as well as personalize it, we made the party a hybrid of imagery from the movie Cars and automobiles in general.

Cribs are often passed down from sibling to sibling, or within extended families, and it seems crazy to buy a new one if a secondhand one is perfectly solid and safe. But how do you make a crib that might be a little tired or outdated seem fresh and new? Here are five nurseries that made secondhand cribs work with style.
