Y'all remember Siouxzie aka Anditron — she had the very first steampunk wedding on Offbeat Bride, and went viral a couple years ago with her pregnant Deathstar costume. Now she's back to give you the low-down on awesome fabric.

I've been super inspired by some of the DIY projects on Offbeat Home, but I have no idea where to get fabric that would make my home decor crafts really fucking awesome.

When I go to Michael's or other big box fabric stores, it seems like I can never find anything that excites me. It all feels so familiar — I want fabrics that no one has ever seen before!

Any suggestions for great online sources for bad-ass fabric? -Becca

My first quick thought on a basic online fabric store is Distinctive Fabric. They have tons of fun fuzzy freaky and basic fabrics.

Saying that, my absolute favorite fabric places are print-on-demand companies. Fabric on Demand is the company where I created my own fabric for my daughter Lorelei's crib sheets. Check out their gallery of custom fabrics!

Their customer service is fantastic and you can order different types of samples to see both the different types of fabric as well as the the colors of their ink on that fabric. But, they don't have it set up to design and then sell your pattern on their site or buy other people's designs.

UK Homies, this post is for you. New sponsor Appliances Online wants to be sure you know how much they care about appliances, customer service, and your hot new kitchen. Between their rad color palettes and huge selection, you'll be hooked on this shop.

Happy Monday, Homies! Good to see you back. In this week's photos we have a lot of COLOR, and in this week's Clicky Links there's a lot of helpful hints.

Share your photos by posting to our Flickr group, and share your inspirations with us on Pinterest.

Husband and I have been happily hosting AirBNB guests for six months now, and it's an amazing place to find unusual housing types you might want to try out!

We chose one of the hottest days of the year to paint our garage. And not just to paint our garage, but to paint it with four different colors of stripes.

Lemme tell you, I've got stripe-painting skillz.

Every Monday we do a roundup of reader photos and interesting links from across the web.

In the Clicky Links this week, you'll find a trailer for a documentary about cosplay, a way to combine an appliance and closet door to up the storage space, and a designer's idea to make a table out of anything.

I sorted and sorted through Flickr and found all these houses — SO MANY HOUSES — of a different color. And, surprisingly, so many really mean comments. I had to give these houses their time in the sun.
