Magnets and deep claw marks: how we made our own industrial noticeboard

We made this Rusted-up, industrial, post-apocalyptic notice board out of a scavenged steel plate. It’s the first step in our post-apocalyptic adventurer home. And it’s pretty easy to do yourself!

Collect and display postcards from your travels over your bed

We recently featured Wendy and Drew’s gorgeous modernized Brownstone home tour. The thing that really resonated with a lot of the Homies was their great postcard “headboard” display. Or as Wendy explained it…

Mass Effect-inspiration bedroom decor

From time to time, you’ll come across a very special book, video game or TV series that transports you to a unique universe — and does it so well, you could believe it’s real. The screen lights on, you turn the page, or press enter, and you find yourself in a completely different place. For me, the Normandy in Mass Effect was one of these places I wish I could really travel to: chill in the lounge, have a drink with Tali and jest a bit with Garrus.

Monsters ON your bed: a DIY duvet cover

Maybe monsters under the bed aren’t so cool, but what about on top? Offbeat Homie Sully gave us the heads up on this awesome DIY duvet cover from the blog JenThousandWords.

This is why I’ve rounded up my favorite Steampunk-y home goods, featuring sneaky, mad scientist-y objects that transform from one piece of furniture into another.

Our nice, unsuspecting entryway cabinet is a secret kitty bathroom

Our house isn’t very big, and the place that makes the most sense to put the litter box is right in the front entryway. Instead of greeting our guests with a box of cat poop, we got this cabinet on Amazon to hide the litter box.

Haunted horror-themed house in Seattle

This week’s home tour is a my special Halloween gift to y’all — a haunted house in a de-commissioned B&B in Seattle. It’s all decked out the way you’d hope a haunted house would be — antique child’s coffin coffee table, antique Halloween goods, metaphysical library, “haunted” ventriloquist dolls, and even snakes abound in this house.
