How can I make my new floor look old?

By yoooo Pattern_medium

I have one of those floating wood floors. It's cherry so it's pretty attractive. I wanted to have a reclaimed wood floor but the cost was prohibitive so I settled for the cherry floating. Anyone know if I could wax or polish it or do something to make it look a little less new and more 'lived in?' »MORE

headboard

By yoooo Pattern_medium

Anybody have a great idea how to make a headboard. Like maybe a nice grey fabric covered one? Do I use a piece of plywood propped up against the wall or what? Right now I have a mattress sitting on a box spring which is sitting on the floor. It looks nice because I've covered the box spring, but I'm thinking a headboard would look cool. Would love to buy Room and Board bed (Ella) for $899 but don't feel like spending that much. »MORE

Is there a landscape designer in town who specializes in rooftop gardening I have a patio that's about 30x14 and want to design a space to feel like I live on W 23rd street in Manhattan! I would think with all the lofts going up around the river there would be someone who has tapped this niche.

I love the beautiful north light in my loft. It's in an old building so there are heat ducts and pipes and cool stuff, but there is a floating floor (I chose cherry) which looks nice but I like old, cruddy floors. My cabinets are light maple. I wonder how I can make them look more 'vintage.' Should I stain them darker, paint them black?? I like place with integrity, this one is cool, but not what I would have picked had I seen it before purchase. Any ideas how to make my kitchen look more flea-market-find cool and less dull??

Thanks for your comment! And I LOVE these bookshelves. You have a loft?! JEALOUS!

No idea where to get those, but I'll keep an eye out!
