apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Wow. I just whimpered aloud. That honeycomb storage things is fabulous! I wonder if I could make a version out of tin cans??

i love the honeycomb storage as well. it is made out of corrugated metal. i found a plastic version in the same shape. i couldn't find any metal ones, but i assume it's something you could find at the hardware store.

Fantastic, useful space.

I covet!

All I have for a studio at the moment is just a corner of the office, containing my drafting table and boxes of supplies.

Someday I will have a room like this. Someday.

my dream...

No I pretty much agree about the pencils...I want a tin of perfectly sharpened pencils. And I rarely USE pencils. But I still want it...

Oh! The honeycomb is small! I thought those were rolls of fabric in the bins! That would have made it wall sized.

although this has been cleaned up for photos, it's pretty clear this is a real working space. Brava!

Nice pencil can!

I wonder if she shops at Ikea often? 8^)

wow, thank you AT!

I wish I had bought the other 2 honeycombs at that rummage sale! {sadly, that sale gets more expensive every year} I think I could have sold them many times over. It is riveted tin - used for bottles at a winery.

Me thinks the said Honeycomb Storage Unit (which is brilliant BTW!)- is made from sections of "gutters'-
Snipped with TinSnips and drilled and Pop-Riveted together.

If not - that would be another method of making those from "off the shelf" galvanized metal
(as opposed to Custom fabrication!)

i suspect those are "golfing pencils" used for score keeping. they usually come in a box of 50 or so.. pre-shapened.
BUT, they are stubby and suck to draw with. good for making short lists though.

@antimatt: Or just looking cool in a canister, right?

Nice space! I wish I had that much room in my place to set up a studio, because how could you NOT want to spend all of your time in that area?

I like that honeycomb holder as well - I'd be willing to bet you could find a metal working shop that would be willing to make one for you for fairly cheap...

that honeycomb idea is what i was thinking about in the cut-a-glass-bottle-with-a-string post. you could cut wine bottles top and bottom, and use them that way. heavy if you use a lot and want to hang them, but not if they were in some kind of frame on a tabletop.
