Split Family Faces
Cousins: Justine, 29, & Ulric, 29 How much do you and your family members really look alike? Quebec, Canada-based graphic designer and photographer Ulric Collette has created a shockingly cool project where he's exploring the genetic similarities between different members of the same family. By splitting their faces in half and then splicing them together, he creates interesting new people that are sometimes quite normal looking and other times far from it. He calls this series Genetic Portraits. (Did you notice that Ulric, the photographer, is one-half of some of these pairings?
DIY: Swing Shelf
So…as you can see this pregger mama has been quite busy with all sorts of DIY projects that will complete the room being shared by kiddo #1 and kiddo #2. This project was quick and easy, plus it turned out really cute and was theme-appropriate for my lil’ surfer boys.

Artist Transforms Stuffy Old Lace Into Fantastic Street Art (Photos)
Photos: NeSpoon (via Behance) If you associate hoodie-concealed men sporting spray cans with street art, think again. Think crocheted bicycles, yarn bombing and random acts of planting. To be sure, traditional urban art is dominated by men. But the last decade has seen the rise of a number of talented female urban artists whose diverse subject matter ranges from candy-colored caricatures to abstract shapes and constellations -- and whose tools range from spray paint to more unconventional means of expression.
Hanging Bookshelves « The Runcible Spoon
I could be biased, but I think Boyfriend and I might have made the coolest bookshelves in the history of all humankind. Some people look at it, cock their head to the side, and use words like “interesting” to describe it, but I personally think it could probably kick their bookshelves’ ass any day of the week. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic. And I will admit you may need a certain vibe goin’ on in your house to pull this off properly, but still, I think they’re pretty awesome. The idea for these bookshelves stemmed from, well, owning a lot of books and having nowhere to put them. But beyond all the books, we only had a budget of about a hundred bucks.
Lost & Found: Comfy Chair Cushioned with Built-In Storage
Lighters, keys, coins … cushioned chairs and couches are notorious for nomming all kinds of things that slip out of our pockets or otherwise get left behind and slide into the cracks. This design simply celebrates that existing phenomena, like a giant-sized pin cushion. It may come as no surprised that this clever-but-boxy furniture piece was developed by architectural designers (of Daisuke Motogi Architecture), who have a knack for exposing and expanding uses for classic furnishing types. Pixel-like pads cover the entire surface of the seat both inside and out, forming slots in which one can accidentally drop a small item or intentionally stick a book, magazine, remote and more.
students-faucet-design-saves-water-by
Simin Qiu, a design student in London’s Royal College of Art, has come up with a luxurious-looking Swirl Faucet that will save water by turning it into a beautiful, elegant, swirling spiral. Qiu’s design works by sending the water through a double turbine, which spirals as water moves through it, creating an elaborate and beautiful lattice of water streams. The turbine also limits the flow of water by 15%, meaning that you waste less when using it! 3 different nozzles let users choose which water-saving design they’d rather use. The design, which also won an iF Design concept award in 2014, is operated with a touch button on top, which helps it retain its sleek and elegant look.
