Let’s face it. Lampshades aren’t cheap. And most of us are unwilling to fork out the money to buy something that looks like it costs nothing to make. This got me thinking on how we could save money when our lampshades look old, drab and weary one day. Naturally, I scoured the net… and found [...]

Good news for fans of Heckler Design’s OneLessDesk (read about my original post on the OneLessDesk here)! Dean Heckler recently emailed me to inform me of his latest release - aptly named the ‘New OneLessDesk’.

Even though the rooms are unoccupied, we’ve put some hand-me-down furniture from our parents’ place to fill it up and make it liveable. Occasionally, my brother will come and stay over [...]
