Nicole’s “Mixed-and-Matched” Loft
Name: Nicole Location: East Downtown — Albuquerque, New Mexico Located in the former Main Hall of the historic 1914 built Albuquerque High School, this loft apartment occupies a former administration room. As a designer, the architecture, detail and character of the campus drew me in, and the space itself provides a perfect canvas for creativity. Three things that inspire me are light, life, and color.

Before & After: Bland Bookshelves Become a Crisp Credenza
I love to build things and have built all kinds of shelving, but I admit I’m all for a shortcut that makes my life easier (and in this case cheaper). These $10 garage sale bookshelves I found are solid wood, well-built and side by side were the perfect size to create a credenza. There is no way I could have built them myself for $10, the wood alone would have cost at least $50, not to mention the time and labor.
