Lost & Found: Comfy Chair Cushioned with Built-In Storage Lighters, keys, coins … cushioned chairs and couches are notorious for nomming all kinds of things that slip out of our pockets or otherwise get left behind and slide into the cracks. This design simply celebrates that existing phenomena, like a giant-sized pin cushion. It may come as no surprised that this clever-but-boxy furniture piece was developed by architectural designers (of Daisuke Motogi Architecture), who have a knack for exposing and expanding uses for classic furnishing types. Pixel-like pads cover the entire surface of the seat both inside and out, forming slots in which one can accidentally drop a small item or intentionally stick a book, magazine, remote and more. Cleaning this piece would not be trivial, but for those who enjoy the occasional boredom-induced, couch-cushion treasure hunt, who knows what you might find that you or someone else left behind.

And you can see all of them in this nicely shot video (our favorite is the secrete drawer, hidden in the edge of a table, which is only accessible when attach a magnetic pull): According to Cheng: This project is about concealing valuables, secrets, bad habits and personal information in our workplaces. Here, hidden spaces/messages were created within 8 general objects such as wood boards, lamps and disposable coffee cups.
Feature Friday: Nicki’s Stairs If you still haven’t peeked under the carpet on your stairs, this one might give you some extra incentive. Inspired by my stair project, long-time friend and reader, Nicki, ripped off the carpet from her stairs too and redid them with just paint and some hard work. Here are her carpeted stairs that she was unhappy with. I know the feeling. And after the carpet was pulled up, she has what looks to be pine boards down. Not fancy, but with a little wood putty and caulk, they are going to look great.

These are my favourite DIY solutions for a refrigerator makeover. Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs It's hard to believe Easter is just around the corner.
