August 26, 2014 by Tyler Golberg

My wife loves to get fun and creative throw pillows for our house. On the other side is me, a guy who just wants something comfy and nice to rest on. However, I couldn’t help but write about the Etsy shop Plantillo. Their pillows had me absolutely mesmerized.

DIY Cleanser Scrub

August 21, 2014 by Tyler Golberg

DIY cleanser scrub from a few simple household ingredientsCleaning solutions that do all the work for you are great but sometimes a little elbow grease is required. Try this simple DIY cleanser scrub to make sure your effort is not wasted.

  • 1 cup of baking soda
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 squirt of dishwashing liquid

The baking soda and dishwashing liquid are both bases so they work well together. A little bit of lemon juice can be added to leave a better scent, but this will be acidic so don’t add much.

The baking soda is the key ingredient for this cleaning solution. It adds an abrasive attribute that helps a ton for scrubbing. Just remember NOT to use this solution for soft or easy to damage surfaces.

So where is the best place to utilize this solution? Surfaces made of glass, porcelain, and hard metal are a good place to start. Also, try using this cleanser scrub on baked-on messes on a stove top or microwave.

Vintage Tub Couch

August 15, 2014 by Tyler Golberg

How to repurpose a cast iron tub into a couchRepurpose a Cast Iron Tub

As if taken directly out of Holly Golightly’s New York apartment, this project is timeless cool. In fact, for those of you with a great attention to detail, you may remember seeing one of these fabulous cast iron tub couches in that iconic film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

At first this project may seem daunting since we have to cut metal, but with the right tools it’s no big deal and you’ll have serious DIY cred for making your own.

Acquire the tub

You may already have an uncommitted cast iron tub lying around, but if not you can generally find them at architectural salvage shops and even swap sites. This project is a great candidate for tubs in less than perfect condition, so you may be able to get a great deal. For reference, at the time of this writing we paid $200 for a tub that we got from an individual on a social media swap site. I actually thought this was a little bit on the pricey side, but I’m cheap.

Bring help when you go tub shopping, this can be backbreaking work! Another tip to consider is the height of the vehicle that you intend to load your tub into. A low trailer may be easier to load than a pickup truck.
