Mobile Home? Yes.Thrift-Store Decor? Oh Yes.
By DestinybyDefinition
This is sort of a follow up to my "Painting Trailer Walls" blog. I was so scared to paint my walls because I thought they would peel like a dirty bandaid. And nobody had, to share, a personal account of painting them, so I listened to my husband and accepted that it couldn't be done. About five minutes after that, I changed my mind and went to Home Hardware.
For anyone who wants advice for painting those lousy vinyl covered trailer walls w » READ MORE

By ModHomeEcTeacher
The dangling bright colors and shapes of Alexander Calder's mobiles have always fascinated me. I've never tried to make one but I've just found simple, yet roomy instructions to make your own interpretation of a Calder mobile for your own home. The newly rennovated Indianapolis Museum of Art has a fantastic heavy duty Calder mobile hanging above their atrium walkway that makes me want to get busy.
What you'll need:
- Needle-nose pliers Wire (hardware stores sell 200ft rolls of galvanized wire)
- Sheet of 1/2" ply wood for the weights or shapes at the end of the wires
- Drill and bit (same diameter as the wire)
- Clamp to hold the wood pieces when drilling
- Jig saw to cut out the wood pieces » READ MORE
The Walking House
By DIY Maven
You know how people sometimes do stuff just to see if they can? This seems to be one of those times. Designers from N55 in Copenhagen built a walking house. They figure it can out run rising waters. Of course, at 60 meters an hour, it's not actually running. More like crawling. In terms of making a break for it, give me an RV any day. Anyway, interesting to see in action. Via.

By DIY Maven
For the DIYer who has a penchant for vintage and wanderlust, nothing could be cooler than making your own classic trailer. Not to be attempted by the faint of heart, I’m guessing, but what a cool project! I’m partial to the ‘lemon drop’, pictured above, but the ‘teardrop’ below is pretty sweet too.

Manuals for Everything...
By roadvermin
Another cool semi political design collective I recently discovered. They are northern European of course and are called N55. I love their ultra simple website (A concept that is replicated in their design aesthetic) and the manual format they use to convey their ideas which include architecture, furniture, micro-dwellings, recycling, alternative transport solutions and a whole lot more. This site can keep you occupied for hours on end with its q » READ MORE
