an airing of domestic grievences
Sorry, are we calling them inspiration boards now? This is the laziest DIY inspiration board ever. Remember the dark days before Pinterest? God, we were all savages then, with our scissors and folders and disgusting piles of magazines that contained, at best, one good recipe and some now-ironic article about how to organize your apartment better. […]
Let’s talk about tapered legs! First off, you can totally buy cute tapered legs and attach them with angled leg plates and everything will look fine. The main issue with these is you’re kind of stuck with whatever lengths Waddell feels like making, since they’re really the only game in town for affordable mid century legs. (You can, of course, […]
So at this point, you should have a box, which in the cabinetry world is called a “carcass.” How metal is that? Now you’re going to add doors and legs, and turn it a different color if you feel like it. First up: doors! Inset doors are tricky, especially if you want them to be […]
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.
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]

They’re […]
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 […]
