Hope everyone is relaxed from the summer and ready to get back to business. If not, maybe this contraband bear would help.

So here is the newest addition to the BBP (blackboard paint) idea book: this DIY wine-rack-slash-notice-board is perfect for small spaces.

SansSource Day

Today is the first SansSource Day on S | G - with great anxiety i am posting ideas without sources.

These images have been collected from a variety of places over a number of years, and i just can't seem to find current links for them.

I firmly believe in giving credit where credit is due, so if you have any sources for the photos above, please let me know and i will post the link right away.

May the blog Gods forgive me.

Money Boxes





Not sure what purpose these serve other than to show off...

...A creative way to dole out allowance?
...A way to insensitively patronize someone who has just been laid off?
...A way to keep your foreign currency sorted?

....the useless options are endless.

I'm not up to date with the newest burglar trends, but if I was a thief i don't think i would want to go around poking all the power outlets... not an efficient use of time!

While this does not qualify as an "artful" storage solution, it is pretty smart.
