Snickeriet , a new Swedish independent carpentry company whose name is Swedish for “the Carpentry”, recently launched its first collection of handmade furniture. I am really digging the Frank cabinet, a curio-like storage unit made of maple and plexiglass. Designed by Karl-Johan Hjerling and Karin Wallenbeck, Frank was named because the way that piece was constructed is completely obvious — thus, the designers are being “frank” about how it’s made

This past weekend was spent with my fiance and his family up in Lake George, NY. The view is unbelievable and the weather was absolutely gorgeous – my sunburned face can attest to that!
Anyway, while we were cruising on the jetskis checking out the gorgeous houses, I started thinking about my dream lake house and how it would be much more modern than a lot of the houses up there. While some of them are more contemporary, I think most of the houses up there are more traditional and mountain-looking. [If that makes sense!]
Like the modern lake houses above, I would want a lake house with lots of windows so that the spectacular view that comes with living on a lake could be seen from any room from any angle. I also love when the architecture provides plenty of sitting space for everyone’s viewing pleasure. There’s something wonderful about staring out onto a lake all day!
Do you ever dream about living on water? What would your dream house there look like?

Industrial designer Robert Bronwasser heads the design studio Smool and he’s created the Casual Chair as part of a line of what he calls “Fashion Furniture.” The comfortable designs are minimal but much like the fashion world, there are unlimited options – like zippers, pockets, leather accessories. The frames are colorful and built much like that of a tent with poles that make it easy to store flat and assemble when necessary. Smool is currently looking for a partner to produce the Casual collection.

Materials: RETUR Recycling bins, Lack Shelf, Wall Anchors, Screws, Cordless Drill, Table or Circular Saw, Spray Paint Description: I soooooo hate folding clothes. I used to have two piles of clothes on the floor, one for dirty clothes and one for clean. I wanted to create something that didn’t take up any valuable floor space. While visiting IKEA I had an inspiration. Using the two different sizes of IKEA Recycle Bins ( this and this ) and a Lack Shelf I was able to come up with a nice contemporary looking wall dresser.

Materials: Lack Side Table, corbels, nailhead trim, sand paper, wood filler and glue, spray paint, metallic paint Description: With less than $45 and a little elbow grease, I transformed my $10 table that was destined for the dumpster into one of my new favorite pieces of furniture. I started out by sanding down the “wood”. The surface is actually a very thin veneer so it doesn’t take much but does need to be thoroughly sanded. After whipping off all the excess dust, I flipped the table over and glued the corbels to the inside of each leg. Be sure to let them dry COMPLETELY before the next step.
