Look!: 16th St. Mission BART Station Fence

We love it when people think outside the box, especially in public spaces. The fence surrounding the stairwell at the 16th St. Mission BART station is a great example of this - instead of boring wroug...

Look!: Flower Pot Window Film

We've lived in a few places with less-than-stellar views. Our current kitchen window looks out on to the neighbors' fence and some greenery ... not too bad, right? (Especially when compared to the ye...

Look!: Gallery of Repurposed Objects

Or, How a Waterwing Became a Lampshade. We don't read German, but by some midnight internet path as disappeared as Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs, we managed to find this German website with pictur...

Look!: Dandelions for a Giant

Okay, we know they're not really for giants, but we kind of like the idea that even giants get wishes.......

Look!: Frank Lloyd Wright's Brandes Residence

Back in August we saw that this 3 bedroom, two bath house in Sammamish, WA, by iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright was on the market. It apparently still is, for a cool $1.7 million....

Look!: Genesis Pendant Light in Action

We've harbored a not-so-secret crush on the Genesis pendant light from the Sundance Catalog for quite a while now. Out for lunch yesterday, we spotted a group of these fantastically simple fixtures g...

Look!: Uniform Planters

We like how something as simple as rosemary in a terra cotta planter can make a strong impact when grouped in a bunch. For anyone out there with a similar, difficult-to-do-much-of-anything-with entryw...

Look!: Cool Storage at the Curiosity Shoppe

Being that it's Spring Cleaning (and Organization) Month here at AT, we couldn't help but show you this awesome storage we spotted at the Curiosity Shoppe. ...

Look! Succulents in Glasses

We have some new favorite glasses from the Crate and Barrel Outlet Store. We picked them up back in November when we were looking for something to hold our paperwhite bulbs and loved the idea of sho...

Look!: Small Hardware Storage Out of Recycled Cans

It seems like such a no-brainer to use these short, wide containers for small parts storage. But then again, we've discarded hundreds of tuna fish cans in our lifetimes without a second thought, so ...

Look!: Mosaiced Three Tiered Drinking Fountain

There are a few reasons we think this drinking fountain is great. The mosaic work is certainly one of them; we're big fans of public art of any kind, and this is colorful fountain really brightened up...

Look!: Recycled Magazine Wastebasket

Just when we thought we seen it all in recycled magazine home accessories, a Crafter user spent a day putting together this wastebasket, based on a project in Mark Montano's Big-Ass Book of Crafts. ...

Look!: DIY Mug Display

We've been following Portland resident Erica Mulherin's home projects for a while now. We were especially impressed with the display system that the illustrator (and blogger) devised for her inherite...

Look!: Modern Fence

Is it just us, or is this one of the most stunning fences you've seen in a long while? Made out of ipe, a sustainably harvested Brazilian hardwood, in two thicknesses, we think it's the fact that boar...

Look!: Shawna's Stairs

We're always intrigued by Seattleite-turned-Dubliner Shawna's observations on decorating and design in Ireland. But today's entry jumped off the page -- wow! (Check out the before pic below the jump ...

Look!: Carlene's Old Lamp Makeover

lamp before, jump below for lamp after We love this quick lamp revamp from Carlene (and her crafty husband). She's described the above version as "Scruffy brown lamp. Cute shape, ugly color". We agr...

Look!: Wallpapered Table

Ikea Hacker posted this project from Alice, a mom who needed a solution for a Vika table that had seen some abuse in the form of repeated water spillage by her daughter. Vintage wallpaper was toppe...

Look!: Spacious Blue Bathroom

If you're an average city dweller then you understand what a rarity it is to see a bathroom where (gasp!) two people could actually move around comfortably. Because of this, we're often blown away by...

Look!: Wall of Photos at 1300 on Fillmore

We love the wall of photos we saw recently at 1300 on Fillmore, a new restaurant devoted to honoring the storied Jazz Age for which the Fillmore area is known. Now we're curious, would anyone want to ...

Look!: Cain Furniture at the Dwell Home: Silicon Valley

Some of our favorite furnishings in the Dwell Home: Silicon Valley, were the pieces from STAACH. We love that they're made with certified woods and that the finishes are low- to no-VOC. We also love...

Look!: Needle Book's Craft Studio

Since May is Cleaning/Organizing Month, we'd thought we'd share this fantastic craft studio from Needle Book. We particularly love how the painted white storage sets the stage for showcasing the beau...

Look!: FLOR Tile Samples

We're notoriously indecisive, so it was no surprise that when trying to decide on a color and pattern of FLOR tiles to use for a entry runner we ended up ordering literally boxes of samples. Luckily w...

Look!: Amy's Bright Yellow Bed

We've been following Amy's home projects with a mix of humble admiration and sheer envy. Working with a "shoestring budget", she takes her time finishing her projects, knowing that to rush her ideas ...

Look!: Upside-Down Lampshade as Light-Diffuser

Here's a good idea for an inexpensive light-diffuser. We think it would be good for someone with an ugly fixture who wants an upgrade that won't require much hassle (kind of like us)....

Look!: Lisa Congdon's Wall of Plates

How did we miss Lisa Congdon's plate wall? Very, very cool. For those of you who have much more wall space, and many more plates (okay, and patience) than we do, she's even written up detailed instr...
