Even though we're still in August, thoughts are inevitably returning to September and the start of the school year. Even if you aren't returning to school this Fall (and you don't have any little ones that are, either), you can still get the look at home with these cool finds. I love this Antique School Desk ($1,650).
Before and After: Real Simple Meets P.S. 346
The folks over at Real Simple (70 of them, to be exact) recently took part in New York Cares Day, and volunteered at the P.S. 346 elementary school in Brooklyn. In just five hours, they assembled 37 pieces of new Ikea furniture and applied their design expertise to an uninspired multi-purpose room.

Roundup: Pencils Ready . . . Go!
Whether you're returning to school or not this Fall, it always pays to have pencil and paper near at hand. Who knows when you might be struck by a flash of genius? I know that I always keep a notebook in my bag to jot down ideas about home decorating, a post for CasaSugar, or the plot for the great American novel.
Cool Idea: Lockers as Wine Storage
I recently made a stop by the Roshambo Winery tasting room in Sonoma and noticed a peculiar thing. Keeping with the winery's offbeat aesthetic, a gang of vintage school lockers had been used as vino storage to create a retro, industrial feel. As it turns out, the lockers are the ideal depth to house a stack of wine bottles.
Etsy Finds: When It Rains
We've been hit with crazy rainstorms over the past 24 hours in the Bay Area, prompting flooding, school closures, and one tough commute. Instead of focusing on the perils of our first major storm, I thought I'd focus on the pretty instead. See some of my favorite rainy day-inspired finds.
Have You Cleaned Out Your Fridge This Month?
It seems as if there are two different schools of fridge cleaning.

Make sure to check out YumSugar's fridge cleaning how-to, and in the meantime, tell me what your style is.
