One of our favorite people in the world has gotta be Hippie Adrien. You may have seen his rad DIY videos dispersed in various Threadbanger Episodes. But we havent seen him around all summer long. Then this video popped up on Youtube and I was relieved to see he was still with us. Hippie Adrien could be the coolest person alive...from the Dreads to the hacky sack to the yo yo tricks and...
In a Decor It Yourself episode a few weeks back (How-to Braid and 13 DIY tips) Meg mentioned the art of Joseph the Artist, a homeless man who is well known to work out of the 8th ave and L train station.

I am all about DIY of course, but I have to admit I love Ikea. Great for basic shelving, and lots of...

A stud is a vertical member in the light frame construction of a building's wall. It is important to know where your wall studs are located when hanging heavy objects like shelves.

Last night was the 15th anniversary of Bust Magazine- that saucy mag for women who need a little more strange and different than is featured in Vogue and Marie Claire.
