DIY

Everywhere you look on Instagram, Pinterest, or in Brooklyn, you’re bound to see someone using a Mason jar for some...

Skip your trip to IKEA because tool-and-assembly-free SNAPs by Be-elastic can transform any flat surface into stylish storage, a table, a shelf, and more.

P.S- I Made This founder Erica Domesek is one of the craftiest people we’ve ever met. She can do pretty much anything with a hot glue gun. Over at her Lower East Side studio, Domesek and her team create the most exciting DIY projects we’ve ever seen. We’re proud to have her using MakeSpace!

If you’ve ever spent time trying to make sense of the assembly instructions for a bed or dresser from Ikea, you’ll be able to appreciate the genius of SOAPBOX‘s line of snap-together tables.

When it comes to living in NYC, you have to get a little thrifty. The average rental price in Manhattan is over $50 a square foot! Rather than curl up in a ball on your love seat and cry, you might want to get smart about what you do with your extremely valuable space.

MakeSpace’s mission is to put an end to schlepping and to hook New Yorkers up with extra cubic footage in their apartments. Once you’ve uploaded all your stuff to the cloud, the question becomes what to do with all this newfound space.

All New Yorkers struggle with tight spaces, but more than anyone, musicians with home recording studios feel the city’s limitations everyday. Last week we had the opportunity to visit NYU senior Danny Rose’s home recording studio, and Danny was kind enough to speak with us about what it’s like to make records in New York City in 2014.

You name it, Jimmy can build it. He’s the handiest handyman. On his popular YouTube channel, Jimmy shows off his almost superhuman ability to make pretty much anything. He’s built everything from a guitar shaped like a machine gun to a replica of a Star Wars Stormtrooper Helmet.
