Oh man look at those fancy rounded legs. It’s a toss up whether those are harder to make in Sketch Up or in real life.
Distract Yourself From Debilitating Grief With a Ridiculous DIY Wall Hanging!
So it’s been a pretty garbage year here at Best Friends Pizza Club. I never really understood what people meant when they talked about “keeping busy”–normal life tasks are enough of an imposition on my Netflix-and-lying-around hobby–but this year I learned that there’s some value in keeping your hands busy even if what you’re doing with […]
Installing and Converting a Hardwired Range Hood to Plug-In
Did you guys know that white kitchen cabinets are a controversial design choice? I honestly didn’t. The main argument against them–they show dirt!–is like half the appeal to me. If something doesn’t look dirty there is a 0% chance I’m going to clean it, and my pre-paint cabinets were total pros at not looking dirty. […]
How to Adult Better Part 2: Stop Buying Terrible Window Coverings
I’m subscribed to r/InteriorDesign on Reddit, which is less about interior design and more just a bunch of people who have recently moved into their first studio apartments asking advice on furniture placement. I mostly hang out there because I’m a creep and like to see the inside of other people’s apartments, but occasionally there […]
How to Adult Better Part 1: Stop Buying Ugly Kitchen Stuff
When we were 19, my friend Mahsa and I moved to New York together. After spending a summer living separately in various temporary dorm rooms and one memorable Avenue B tenement, we got our shit together and rented a two room apartment on St. Marks Place. It had exactly two windows, cost approximately eleven billion […]

How to fix a broken plug in only three short years
HOW CUTE IS THIS FAN? I found it in some rich lady’s hobby vintage shop a few years ago. It was surrounded by a lot of very ambitiously-priced milk glass and crusty old crochet blankets, but for some reason they were only asking $15 for it. Score! I’m very proud of the fact that I used […]
Can we talk about coffee mugs for a second?
So, first, I need to make a disclaimer that I do not care about coffee. I like it and it is necessary and I drink what my doctor once described as a “medically alarming” amount, but I buy the giant $5 cans of pre-ground beans from Aldi and I would rather die than listen to […]
I’m not mad, IKEA, I’m just disappointed.
Aah, the Bekvam. An Ikea classic I somehow didn’t own until this week. It’s a perfect little step stool–designed just enough that falls into the sweet spot between “utilitarian” and “look at my cute little step stool!” It goes with basically any decor and is sturdy as shit to boot. But this week I discovered something sinister […]
SO MANY RECTANGLES: the current state of the living room
It’s fine. It could be worse. It has the three main things (I think) a room needs to look finished and intentional: something on the floor, something on the windows, and something in the walls. Here’s another angle: I took these pictures to put on Craigslist when I was looking for a new roommate (why […]
