Metal Alphabet Letters from A-Z

howdy091109.jpg Being fans of typography we love the idea of using letters as decorative accents but it seems whenever we find a good source for them, they're sold out in all but a few letters (we're looking at you Urban Outfitters!).

Fairy Tale Characters: Alternatives to Disney

pp091009.jpgWhile we feel nostalgia for many classic Disney films, as parents a lot of those fuzzy feelings are being crowded out by their omnipresent marketing to our kids. But that doesn't mean we have to give up on our favorite fairy tale characters!

One Room Home for a Family of Four

oneroom081009.jpg When we think of a family of four living in one room we think of turn-of-the-century tenements on New York's Lower East Side, not a fab, modern Japanese home.
