Ask Casa: A Home Office for Two
Hi CasaSugar,
My boyfriend and I are moving into a small one bedroom, but luckily the living room is quite spacious. As children of the digital age, we always have our laptops out for work or school. Is there some sort of space-saving desk that allows for two workstations at a time?
DIY: Make Yourself an Ottoman
I recently stumbled upon an excellent DIY over on Blueprint's blog, and since it's Renewal month at Casa, I thought that many of you might be inspired by their great instructions. If you have some old cushions lying around, this is a simple way to bring them into the twenty-first century. To find out how to do it, read more
This Just In: Blueprint to Fold
As if the recent demise of shelter favorite House and Garden wasn't enough bad news, now sources say that Blueprint is folding as well. According to fishbowlNY, the magazine billed as a "fresh, fun guide to personal style" apparently couldn't find enough of an audience. While not completely disappearing, Blueprint will be dialed back into a publishing schedule that will coordinate with Martha Stewart Weddings.
Telescopeeyes' Holiday Light Project
After seeing the post where Angelica made her version of Blueprint magazine's Light Bright diy holiday project, Telescopeeyes was inspired to make her own. (Blueprint's project is on the left, while Telescopeeyes' version is on the right.)
She says, "I set out to try using what I already had on hand to pull it off (instead of spending the outrageous $140 detailed in the mag)."
To see how she made her very cheap version of the Light Bright, just read more
DIY: Blueprint-Inspired Holiday Project
Our own Angelica completed a DIY project over the holidays that's positively brilliant.
She writes:
After a series of failed baking adventures I realized it was time for me to transfer my love for YumSugar and food magazines to CasaSugar and design magazines. In the spirit of the holidays I picked a Light Bright project from this month's Blueprint magazine.
100 Reasons to Get Rid of Stuff
I have way too much stuff, and I know I'm not alone. Every weekend, it seems, I'm adding to a pile of clothes, books, and home decor I don't like anymore with the goal of hauling it off to Goodwill. So thanks to Unclutterer for pointing me to this massive list, originally published in Blueprint, called 100 Reasons to Get Rid of It.

Cool Idea: Frank Lloyd Wright in Thread
Craftster member PencilNeck's embroidery creativity has bowled me over. She made this embroidery of a Frank Lloyd Wright blueprint as a Christmas gift for a family member who works with architectural design. She embroidered almost exclusively with backstitching for the project, and found blue floss to match the blueprint color.
Gift Guide: The Architecture Buff
My sister, who's been drawing blueprints in one form or another since we were little kids, is currently finishing her second year of grad school at the architecture department at UC Berkeley. Since she spends about 18 hours a day in the studio as it is (I'm not even coming close to exaggerating), she probably doesn't want to spend her few free hours browsing through architecture books, at least during the semester. However, once the holiday break kicks in, I'm pretty sure that she'll be curled up on a sofa with a more recreational, picture-heavy architecture book in her hands.
This Just In: Domino to Close
You'd better sit down for this. I came across some terrible news today that has sent me into shelter-mag mourning. Condé Nast has decided to fold its prize decorating magazine, Domino, just two weeks after sending in Senior Vice President Bill Wackermann to increase ad sales.
