Before and After: Whole House

I know how much all of you like Before and After's. A room is a blank easel (even if it has stuff in it) and it always interests me to see the different ways and styles people prefer to outfit the rooms of their homes with.

Fortunately, today we get a glimpse of an entire home makeover. Think the TV show, but with a much smaller budget, less sponsorships, and probably less yelling.

This set of images comes courtesy of Design*Sponge, yet again, and Rey of Rey3 Design Collaborative designed and renovated it. If you're ever in Palm Springs, you can even rent this little beauty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool Find: Papervore

You get the mail, sit down at the coffee table, and tear it open. Let's see...bill, junk, bill. Fortunately, you've recently purchased the Papervore. It's the coffee table that's actually a manual paper shredder. So you insert the bill into the little slot, turn the crank, and PRESTO! Bills no more. Until you get the late notice anyway. Here's a little video to demonstrate:

At first I thought "Oh that's not very practical. Who wants a paper shredder in their living room." But on second thought, it's kind of practical. It's a shredder, it's a table, it doesn't require power. And it's a conversation piece to boot. Pretty useful. Also if you have a hamster, this is even more useful! Just throw him inside! (note: not in the slot!) :)
