Anne Rice: 'I Quit Being A Christian'

OMFG, it's about time. Maybe now we'll get a good book out of her again. I couldn't even finish Angel time. Those two Christ books weren't much better.

I don't know if you have these fights around your house, but I'm constantly finding things in the dishwasher that don't belong there and having to spend 5 minutes bitching about it. If you have someone who refuses to listen, print out this short article and paste it to the cabinet or something.

More plywood

I'll admit, I have no idea how to make a cabinet door. But after seeing some of these plywood ideas, I'm willing to try. With the cost of cabinetry, being able to make your own would save you thousands on a kitchen remodel and these cabinet fronts look gorgeous.

Architectural Detail: Plywood Ceiling : Remodelista

I've got to be honest. I kind of like it. I've seen plywood used on floors for years for a creative modern mix of texture. With the right finish you could even substitute particle board here. I'm not sure what she used as the transitional piece between the boards, but yous could probably use, flooring transitional moldings to seal those cracks.

The Marcus Beach House by Bark Architects � CONTEMPORIST

Of course, beach houses are always gorgeous. I feel like this one has a certain floating tree house look to it. I love the materials used for the structures wall. It makes you feel like the house has a minimalist impact on it's environment. However, I don't know how this would hold up in a harsher climate with the lack of insulation. I really think that's the next hurdle builders need to start looking at, is how to provide structures with minimal ongoing cost for maintenance.
