apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The Tyvek market bags are totally awesome and I would love to have some, BUT the $65-$80 per bag price tag is absurdly high. In the meantime I'll continue to use my motley assortment of PBS fund drive and convention swag canvas bags.

Those house numbers look illegible. I guess it depends on what color surface they're going on, but basically they look illegible.

Illegible and $120-$200 EACH. Insane for what would be an easy DIY job.

I don't think they're illegible. They're actually quite large. Having seen photos of Boris Bally's studio and knowing the work he puts into his pieces, I don't think they're as easy to DIY as you might imagine. But yeah, they are pricey!

The hose roll interest me. I wonder if it could be used to store electrical cords. I have a 100 ft orange safety cord that I use for my weed-eater/wacker when I work in my back yard. Currently I rewind it by holding one end in my hand and looping over my arm. For 100 ft, this gets tiring. This looks like if I wind the cord onto it, all I would have to do to use the cord is to take off some slack, plug it into the outlet and then toss the ball into the back yard. It would unroll itself.
