Design*Sponge | Your home for all things Design. Home Tours, DIY Project, City Guides, Shopping Guides, Before & Afters and much more Danielle and Jarrod Evans live in the tiny Discovery District of downtown Columbus, Ohio. The area is home to many historically registered residences, from sprawling mansions to smaller, more affordable apartments like theirs. While they love the historic aspects of their apartment, what they really wanted was a modern space for work and play. They quickly realized the best way to make the space work was by embracing the unchangeable aspects of their rental and even highlighting them, by doing things like designing and layering a vinyl decal over the red backsplash in their kitchen. They also minimized their possessions in order to convey a more spacious and inviting vibe. The result of these efforts is a home that reflects the bold and illustrative styles unique to these two creative minds.

How to Turn Easy-to-Make DIY Boxes Into Flexible Furniture If you're looking for a way to flex your DIY muscles, then bust out the tools, because we've got the perfect winter woodworking project. It's possible to build a fun and versatile contemporary furniture system that consists almost entirely of stackable plywood cubes. The beauty of it is that the parts can be arranged in various configurations in minutes, adapting to your needs or sense of design. From these basic parts, we've been able to create shelving, a desk, a work table, a coffee table, a bed--and you can innovate just about any other form of furniture you need. Choosing Materials We settled on 3/4-inch-thick maple plywood. The core is a group of 10 14-inch-square cubes which can be used as they are or combined with custom-size panels, which are nothing more than a double thickness of 3/4-inch plywood. To give the pieces a finished look and to conceal the exposed edges of the plywood, we used iron-on maple-veneer edge banding. Cutting the Pieces Building the Cubes Veneering Sequence
