Some quick resources for those of you heading back to school, right about NOW!
Maximize your space by building a loft bed - DormDelicious;
Listen to your Mother!!! (or at least someone who looks like your mother) - About.com; and
Take some advice from Becky Mates. Although her decorating and organizing advice is nothing special, anyone who knows how to make a hickey disappear is worthwhile listening to.
Keep it Neat!!!
OK, that may be a bit of an exageration.
But never the less the System180 from Futureproof/ed is kinda neat…in an austere, minimalist sort of way
System 180—a smart system consisting of 180 mm tubes with flattened ends, allows for anything to be build from a combination of three base-elements, the tubes, screws and blanks.
Perfect for building a bookshelf
Organizer (on your right)
Or DJ table (on your left)…What, your office doesn’t have a DJ busting out tunes? Maybe you need to find a new place to work.
Ever write something down and forgot where you put it?
Or have you ever come up with a brilliant idea and need a place to scribble down your thoughts?
Pixelnotes could be your answer…
Designed by Duncan Wilson in collaboration with Sirkka Hammer or Sirkka Hammer in collaboration with Duncan Wilson (seems to be a bit of confusion over this), Pixelnotes is a wallpaper consisting of four layers of varying grey tones on a bright primary backing.
Each layer is perforated in a grid format and backed with a tacky adhesive similar to ‘post-it’ notes. According to Wilson “Pixelnotes is inspired by the way we work within a space. The walls become functional, an integrated noticeboard that documents our activity within the room. Pixelated formations and shapes develop according to our patterns of use.”
We think it is pretty neat!
