Industrial style is all the rage. I mean it is everywhere. But when you find yourself picking up your 15th end table made of raw wood, rusted metal, and antique bronze hardware: STOP. Put DOWN the table. (And while you're at it, check out The New Rustic. Wink, wink.)
Is it just me or do kitchens always seem to be almost perfect, but not quite? There's that one thing that makes you think, "Hmmm, what can I do here?" Thinking about my latest apartment, built in 1945 btdubs, I had absolutely ZERO counter space. I mean, zilch.
