Q:  I found these two chairs online for $50.00. I haven't bought them yet, but I think they may be mid century Conant Ball Chairs. I tried doing some research and can't find confirmation that this is by Conant Ball, though. Does anyone know the maker? Also, they have this fraternity-style emblem on them in black paint. I'm afraid it will be difficult to remove the paint. Any thoughts? Are they worth the work? I love the style, so I'm thinking I may just go for it. Thanks for the help!

After a long winter, Easter comes around just in time to brighten things up. Whether you have kids or not, dying eggs and decorating the house is a great way to welcome Spring. Here are 22 posts to help you embrace your inner Easter Bunny this weekend. Hop to it!

When I saw this photo pop into my Pinterest feed this morning, it immediately brought back memories of an old home office from a previous apartment. Not because my home workspace looked anything like Aly's from design blog, A Little Tipsy, but for the fact I recognized she had made a very similar giant-sized mousepad I had years back...

Things have changed since we last gave a how-to on installing a new programmable thermostat. Namely, a little thermostat called Nest hit the market. A smart, self-learning thermostat that you can control via a smartphone. The elegant and clean design of the Nest even trickles down to the installation and setup process. We give you the full step-by-step for installing your own in this how-to.

If the bed or sofa is a blank canvas, it's the pillows I consider the paint. Throw pillows are an easy way to give your most cozy spaces a little more of your own personality. And if your personality is a self-proclaimed geek, techie, blogger, photographer, voracious e-reader, or smartphone addict? Well then, these are the prints for you to use in your next fabric or uplohstery DIY project. 

Q: I just got a bentwood rocker frame for free from some coworkers at my studio, but it's been sitting outside for the last year, and where I live, that means it got rained on. A lot. Luckily, I think the chair is still in fairly good shape and the water didn't eat through the wood but just the finish, although some of the curves will need a little putty to fill in empty spots. Now that I have it, I am at a loss for what to do with it!

Heaven knows as the Tech Editor I see more iPhone cases than anyone should be exposed to throughout the year. Cases have become so common, it's all too easy to get jaded about these popular accessories. So count me happily surprised after doing a double-take upon laying my eyes upon these DIY iPhone cases using real flowers...how appropriate with the arrival of spring time!
