I have a soft spot for vintage industrial treasures, especially the ones that are creatively converted to other uses than their original purpose.

I can’t believe it’s already been one month since Design for Mankind’s e-zine last inspired us all!

I am indeed a few days behind the ball, but my favorite blogger Erin at designformankind has published her third edition of her much-appreciated-by-many Inspirations ezine. Take a peek into what parts of homes inspire people’s lives by downloading the ezine. One of my favorite images in the Inspirations ezine is this photo wall in [...]
