Bizarre Websites On Which You Can Kill Time With Style - Smashing Magazine Modern Web-building technologies allow designers to realize their most daring and creative ideas. Enhanced interactivity and a remarkable visual appearance can be achieved by means of such tools as Flash, JavaScript and Papervision3D, to name just a few.

Easy Cardboard Shelves So there is no secret about how this is made. Each tray shelf would be either a preassembled shape, like a box lid (or you could cut the top and bottom off of a taped-shut box and get two). You should leave the turned-down tray sides at about 2" for strength. 9-11" is a good depth for the shelves - no wider than you have to. If you don't have box lids or a few boxes of the same size to make lids out of, but you did rescue a refrigerator box from the trash, you can pretty easily make trays. Cut rectangles 4" wider and longer than you want your shelves to be. After your pieces are cut and scored, fold the tabs over a few times to be sure they are compliant.
IHeart Organizing How to build a kitchen compost storage container that keeps flies out One inconvenience about composting is that its generally a good idea to keep the compost bin away from the house. This keeps away potential vermin, flies and smells. The downside to keeping the compost bin out back is that it would require multiple daily trips to it without the use of an intermediate compost storage bin. Since the storage bin would ideally be located in the kitchen where the scraps are being produced it should be small enough to remain hidden and out of the way. However, the bin should also be big enough to hold about 5 days worth of scraps. Ideally the scraps also get oxygen to keep away smells produced from Anaerobic bacteria. Finally, any storage bin should keep out those pesky little fruit flies which somehow always manage to find their way into your house no matter what you do!
the nest effect: October Project: Conquer Paper Clutter Last Monday I introduced my project for this month: paper & digital clutter. I spent last week looking for ways to conquer paper and digital clutter so that I could start spending my time more productively in other ways. Some of these ideas that I'm going to post about may seem obvious, but as obvious as they are, it's not something I did until this week. I needed the focus to actually follow through with these "ideas" and that's what this month long project is doing for me. It's giving me accountability and focus by blogging about it, and I really hope I'm inspiring you to do the same. I started off by looking at the list I made last week of where the clutter is coming in. Today I'm talking about conquering paper clutter and tomorrow I'll share about digital clutter. Unsubscribe from credit card offers, catalogs, magazines, and Netflix. The rate that credit card offers and catalogs enter my mailbox is obnoxious. Keep an incoming paper basket by the entry with a garbage can next door.
How to Make an Out-of-the-Ordinary T-Shirt Quilt: Part One September 7th, 2012 Email 106 users recommend Sew memories together into a warm and comfy quilt. Erika Kern Use patterned shirts and the sleeves and backs to add color interest to the graphics of the tees. My drawers were filled with memories of concerts past, so many T-shirts I rarely wear. Photo: Erika Kern Because I'm so bad at math, and the style of this quilt is so improvised, I built the blocks at my machine starting small, like the block above. To make the quilt, I joined three blocks together to form a row. Next week we quilt!

French Apartment in Moroccan Style ♥ Френски апартамент в марокански стил Two apartments combined into one made it possible for the owner of this home to bring Morocco and the influence of Mediterranean Africa in a small town near Paris. From the entrance you can feel the blue mood, which goes from one room to another. Parallel with it you can feel the femininity and exoticness in the details – gorgeous wooden furniture, impressive textile and amazing decoration. I just love the arrangements with hands of Fatima on the wall. It is popular amulet throughout the Middle East and North Africa and represents a protection against people with bad intentions and ill-wishers. Два апартамента, комбинирани в едно дават възможност на собственичката на този дом да пренесе Мароко във френско градче близо до Париж. Аз специално особено харесвам аранжимента с ръката на Фатима – това е много популярен амулет в Средния Изток и Северна Африка, който се използва за предпазване от лоши очи и недоброжелатели.
300 Square Foot Round Cottage Was Built in Just 8 Hours (Video) © Brandon Knapp If you can build a cottage that's energy efficient, made from sustainable wood, and makes for a fantastic getaway in the great outdoors, awesome. But can you do it in just eight hours? Like the cottage, around 80% of the buildings Mandala produces are round. "You're embraced by the space, says Rachel Ross of Mandala. The cottage was a side project for Mandala, which makes prefabricated homes for clients around the world, some of which are as large as 5,000 square feet. For the Round Green Home, Mandala focused on making everything energy efficient and non-toxic. Of course, using locally sourced wood loses much of its impact when the product is sold and shipped overseas. Watch the cottage go up in this time lapse video:
