apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i really wanted the jewelry hanger (tree) they had out of this woodcut material around the holidays, but I didn't want to spend more than $30 on what seems like a few layers of particle board - any idea where you can get this material, and if an Xacto knife or simple craft knife will do the trick? Thx!

sassy: Looks like this place would be cheaper, if you have the skills to put the drawing together:

There are a variety of other laser cutters local to you, google "boston laser cutting".

This is a really cute frame. The last thing that I saw here on AT I bought. That cute little house-shaped mail bracket...http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=10&startValue=51&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=15247505&parentid=A_FURN_PRETTY&sortProperties=&navCount=42&navAction=poppushpush&color=&pushId=A_FURN_PRETTY&popId=APARTMENT_FURNISH&prepushId=

I love the mail bracket, but they sold my name for mailing lists. How do I know?...I misspelled my middle name on purpose. So be forwarned.

Oops! Meant to post the link to the mail bracket, not all the HTML

To fjorlief and anyone else who doesn't want to wind up on mailing lists: if a store asks you for your zip code or phone number, make something up. Having that information allows them to "reverse append" your credit card information to your mailing address or home phone. I know this because I used to work for a company that was doing it. It's evil and intrusive.

better yet, be an adult and just refuse to give out your info

Yes, that's an option too. But many people--especially in the Midwest, where I live--are used to being polite and accommodating and would never want to seem confrontational, even to a lowly salesperson.

'tis a bit difficult to give out incorrect information when ordering something online and having it shipped to your home though...
