apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love it!

Love the recycling idea in the reclaimed wood box. I use wine crates for my recycling box.

"A" is clearly for "awesome."

I wonder how they sealed the boxes in the top to keep the horrible rotten apple-vinegar stench from stenching.

The apple crates? Yuck... But I love the stove!

Another stunning photograph that begs the question, "How does this look in real life?"

Where do you find crates like this?

as a teenager, i worked at a produce market and collected dozens of these sorts of apple crates. stacked one on top of another, they served as bookshelves and plant nooks in college. in the years between, i've let some go, but i still have a few which we now use for behind-the-scenes storage. but, man - do they look awesome here. and i'm a sucker for pretty much anything on castors ... sold!

"Hillbilly Chic"

The crate on casters is nice but the "built in" by the stove is just disgusting. I'm all for reclamation but the aesthetics and hygiene of this doesn't work.

disgusting? Give me a break.

I think both photos are gorgeous btw.

hygiene? silly. Very nice use of apple crates. We use ours as magazine storage

I like the one with the wheels

the green in me loves this one and i think it looks very modern. i also suspect that the flat fronts here are alot more hygienic than many of the paneled / molding ladden choices we see but wonder about cleaning?

any ideas where to get these? trader joes? farmer's market? farm? I wonder if potatoe crates would be less smelly? do apple crates really smell?

so many questions :)

By its surroundings except for the smooth painted beige wall, the stove looks like it was set down in some sort of cabin in the wilderness, providing the only source of heat. I mean it looks like an ad for the stove where the occupants have fled civilization but not without our [brand] stove! Too gimmicky rustic.

Anyone know who makes the stove?

I got a lead to Zanussi, but google is being a real piece o' junk to me today. According to the link, the photo in this entry comes from 2005 and when I went to Zanussi site, it wasn't there. I looked up the image of a "steel cooker" and found it labeled Zanussi on a vendor's site in the UK, but after that, it's been real hard to navigate.

No, in case you're wondering, I don't recognize appliances. I read the article, followed the links provided, and utilized some of the information in them to put in the search engines each of us has available.
