Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

[unwashed]

I've been doing some home improvements this summer by myself.

......

I am finding an immense amount of satisfaction in working with my hands and seeing the result. I highly recommend this to others

I did a lot myself in my home the last 3 years. Maybe we can start a DIY - home improvement topic.

- I've done my bathroom (design and build, my dad did the plumber and piping work)
- Made a wardrobe closet out of old used wooden planks
- Made a livingroom closet, a la Rick Owens furniture
- Made by dining table

Current project is our garden, already made the fence myself.

Could be fun. I am sure lowrey would chime in.
I don't have the capacity to make things here, unfortunately.

@unwashed

Would you post some pictures of your diy projects, it would be nice to see some of it.

[unwashed]

Sure man, will look up some pics

[Fuuma]

Funny you posted that. I am using the smaller version now, but that zipper takes just a second too long ;-) Need a box with a lid.

How do you guys even manage to get your pants off? If that's such a problem just hide some under the pillows or leave the zipper undone. False problems are the bane of the westerner's existence.

The problem is very much true, Fuuma.

Oh, I thought sex was supposed to involve lots of leather and zippers?

[Nickefuge]

Or maybe wear a condom at all times?

Hay has these boxes in marble. Not that expensive either and come in various sizes:

You reminded me that I have meant to stop by at the HAY pop-up at the MoMa store. Thanks!

As per request (excuse shit quality as I don't have any HQ pics yet):

Here is my DIY livingroom closet á la Rick:

Extra pic in full use

and a SZ special



Already prepared the shelves for LED strips in the back, still need to find the "energy" to actually put it in.

And my wardrobe closet:

[Faust]

Nice! SZ mag approved :-)

That is so cool! Please tell me your wardrobe emits that glow upon opening, along with a deep ambient sound.

It sighs.

the marble reminded me that Verheyden must have something suitable
