Industrial cool doesn't need to be confined to just grown up spaces. Look at how wonderfully these wire baskets work in Silas' Poised for Adventure Room.

Walking into Sirima's loft, I was blown away by the openness of the space, despite the fact that it is both her home and an artist's studio where she teaches classes and workshops in printmaking.

For years IKEA's EXPEDIT has been a ubiquitous storage solution for homes everywhere. But recently the Swedish furnishing giant's VITTSJÖ has been showing up more and more on my design radar.
