The seven essential "stations" every home should have

By balubalu

lifehack.org set up a list of seven stations every home should have:

  1. Destination Station
  2. Communication Station
  3. Donation Station
  4. Gift and Shipping Station
  5. Education Station
  6. Creation Station
  7. Administration Station
So you do have all of the stations they describe in a lot more detail?

CD + Radio

By balubalu

Too bad that this is just a concept. Usually I'm a fan of designs with clean lines and without too much mumbo jumbo. And this box is just that plain simple. You can not see any buttons, it looks really stylish and you can listen to radio and play CDs - what else would I need....

Captain Balu

 

Many of you probably know the guy above as Captain Balu or without hat and jacket as Balu from Disneys Jungle Book. Perhaps it's written different in your language - Baloo in English, Balou in French I guess, but the German version is Balu.

My Spring Project: bed + platform

By balubalu

Introduction:

I am living in a small one room apartment (plus very small kitchen, corridor and bathroom) so I need to optimally use the existing space.

Gummi bear chandelierWe had some chandeliers here already, but I think I've just stumbled over the sweetest one - literally. This chandelier is made of gummy bears, beads, monifilament, plastic, metal and of course light bulbs. [via]

Window transforming balcony

By balubalu

I like the idea behind this window that transforms to a balcony, but on the other hand - if you have space for a balcony - why not always have one?

Knots

By balubalu

Yes, at the first look at animated knots you might think "this is not really curbly". But then again - have a close look e.g. at the decorative ones or some of the houshold knots (ties and shoes also have a knot ;).

Titanic style home theater

By balubalu

Titanic home theaterHey Maven, I think there are more awesome home theaters out there than we expect.
