Bedroom Built-Ins

Beds to storage, whimsical to just plain cool, if you're inspiration levels are running low for your bedroom, take a look at these bedroom built-ins.

Built-ins are designed for a lot of things, whether you just want a beautifully customized space, or you need a solution to a small, cramped room, the designs in the following album will get you started on your own design.

Keep in mind that some of these are obviously geared towards children, but still give you an idea of just how customizable these things really are.

See the album HERE.

Post a comment below!  We'd love to see pictures of you're built-ins!

Skirt Inspirations!

Tired of buying normal, and usually ugly store-bought skirts? Why not make your own? The great thing about making your own clothes is that they can look however you want them to. When I go to make a new skirt I type in "skirts" on Google images and take a look at a variety of them to see what kind of style I may want to use. Instead of doing your own search, we have compiled a long gallery of images for you!

Check out the gallery we posted on Threadbanger HERE

Check back often for more new ideas! If you have some pictures of cool skirts not featured here, send us a link to the image so we can get it posted!

Pincushions!


These are some pincushions I found from around the web. Perhaps interesting enough to inspire you to stop using that storebought tomato pincushion and make your own!

















Here's something I was inspired to create. I saw something similar online. The fun part of DIY sometimes is trying to figure out how other people made something so that you can do it yourself!
