I love ReadyMade Magazine but I'll flip through anything for inspiration. I love vintage books/magazine too, lots of thrifty DIY ideas.

How does one become an interior designer without getting a degree or certificate? Is it possible?

And it is very smart to have two or more plans career--wise, if only not constrict yourself and suffocate actual fulfillment.

Anyone here good at identifying the era a furniture piece is from? I spied a cool set of chairs at $12.99 each. They'd need a bit of work, but I like them. Should I get them? Picture: http://twitpic.com/pza0y

Michelle Amurao:
I sure did and it's pretty easy. It's a much lighter taste than the brewed so it's very easy to tell which one is the instant coffee.
