Handmade Modern Baby Storage Console

By tmgeorgo

 Baby Storage Console

 Here's the storage console I made for my daughter's nursery.  We needed some furniture next to our chair to store bottles, books, etc. while feeding and playing with her.  I got the idea from the bedside library project in the "Handmade Modern" book by Todd Oldham and modified his plans a little bit to make the console better sized for our nursery and use materials and paint I already had on hand.

Curbly TD Rant Club Week #5: Garage Make-Over

By DIY Maven

Last night’s episode of Bravo’s Top Design was a turning point for me. Somewhere in the middle, I realized I was obliged to watch it, but not because of these Curbly posts. No, it was more like being compelled to watch a car wreck. You don’t want to look, but something about the magnitude of the disaster makes you take a peek anyway.

The Task

The seven remaining designers were asked to re-design the garage of the Bell family. The Bell’s had » READ MORE

The Task

The remaining contestants were each given a surprise package that contained various beach paraphernalia, which included a post card from three different tropical locales: Miami, St. Tropez and Tahiti. They were the » READ MORE

Curbly’s Top Design Fan Club, Week 2: Child’s Play

By DIY Maven

Last night’s episode of Bravo’ TV’s Top Design was less about drama and more about design.

The Task

The ten remaining designers were each given brief bios of clients for whom they were to design a 12' by 12' bedroom. An added challenge was that the designers had to make the beds in their rooms. Also, their furniture budget was ‘only’ $8K, which produced much vexation among the contestants as last week’s bankroll was $50K. What is a poor desig » READ MORE

Welcome Curbly’s Top Design Fan Club!

By DIY Maven

The premier episode of TD did not disappoint! Producers of the show didn’t waste a second. We were quickly introduced to the collection of contestants and then the game began.

The Task

The 12 contestants, who were paired up into six teams, where given 5 objects to serve as inspiration to design a room for a "mystery client." Among the objects were a Cupie Doll head, a 1970's Lucite TV and a disco ball. Hmm.

They had a "budget" of $50K per team fo » READ MORE
