Ask Casa: A Home Office for Two
Hi CasaSugar,
My boyfriend and I are moving into a small one bedroom, but luckily the living room is quite spacious. As children of the digital age, we always have our laptops out for work or school. Is there some sort of space-saving desk that allows for two workstations at a time?
Blueprint's DIY Charging Station Blueprint (Teehee)
When the legendary though short-lived Blueprint magazine folded, I mourned the loss of another favorite. Not only was Blueprint, a Martha Stewart title, the one magazine I felt that was really made for me, by people like me, but it recognized the three-dimensional female life.
Specifically, Blueprint knew that modern girls are gadget girls — in its inaugural issue, it won me over with this: DIY instructions for a charging station.
DIY: Make Yourself an Ottoman
I recently stumbled upon an excellent DIY over on Blueprint's blog, and since it's Renewal month at Casa, I thought that many of you might be inspired by their great instructions. If you have some old cushions lying around, this is a simple way to bring them into the twenty-first century. To find out how to do it, read more
This Just In: Blueprint to Fold
As if the recent demise of shelter favorite House and Garden wasn't enough bad news, now sources say that Blueprint is folding as well. According to fishbowlNY, the magazine billed as a "fresh, fun guide to personal style" apparently couldn't find enough of an audience. While not completely disappearing, Blueprint will be dialed back into a publishing schedule that will coordinate with Martha Stewart Weddings.
Telescopeeyes' Holiday Light Project
After seeing the post where Angelica made her version of Blueprint magazine's Light Bright diy holiday project, Telescopeeyes was inspired to make her own. (Blueprint's project is on the left, while Telescopeeyes' version is on the right.)
She says, "I set out to try using what I already had on hand to pull it off (instead of spending the outrageous $140 detailed in the mag)."
To see how she made her very cheap version of the Light Bright, just read more
DIY: Blueprint-Inspired Holiday Project
Our own Angelica completed a DIY project over the holidays that's positively brilliant.
She writes:
After a series of failed baking adventures I realized it was time for me to transfer my love for YumSugar and food magazines to CasaSugar and design magazines. In the spirit of the holidays I picked a Light Bright project from this month's Blueprint magazine.
100 Reasons to Get Rid of Stuff
I have way too much stuff, and I know I'm not alone. Every weekend, it seems, I'm adding to a pile of clothes, books, and home decor I don't like anymore with the goal of hauling it off to Goodwill. So thanks to Unclutterer for pointing me to this massive list, originally published in Blueprint, called 100 Reasons to Get Rid of It.
