Less ego, more confidence in decoration

You want to have a hammock inside? Go for it! Or, like me, do you think crates make great modular furniture? Don't hold back, use them. Many people are held back by their concern for others' judgement. It seems the younger generations will overcome these obsessions. It is now common to see shipping crates used creatively, upcycled-recycled items, more utilitarian, easier to live with furniture replacing flawlessly-polished intricately-carved status-symbol furniture. The result is more humane, more creative, more efficient and environmentally friendly living spaces, and a more comfortable, a less status-conscious, a better life!

Slanted window covering

Isn't this a simple and cool way of handling slanted windows? Fabric curtains are easier to maintain, and create warmer and cozier spaces by softening the appearance of walls and windows. I am also all for simple mattress-on-the-floor solutions. If only they had picked a variety of colors for the walls, the bedding, etc. instead of this monotone look.
