apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love these. I saw a designer on HGTV do this several years ago.

That's so funny, I thought about doing that a few weeks ago!

Those are pretty cool.

I used an innard to make a bird feeder - sunflower seeds go through the wholes easily but don't spill out.
