01. Store bobby pins in a magnetic paper clip holder.
Works infinitely better than a magnetic strip in your drawer.
05. Cover a corkboard in linen for a flexible necklace display.
This tangle-free version is from here.
06. Group nail polish by color in a shoe organizer (you know you never actually put your shoes away anyway).
This one looks like it may be a jewelry organizer, but a shoe organizer would work too! From here.
07. Store your makeup brushes in a toothbrush holder.
But, um, please keep them clean.
Brush holder from here.
08. Paint PVC pipe to separate your underwear.
Tutorial here. (You can paint them a different color if pink’s not your thing).

(You may have seen this trick with a hanger, too).
10. Give everyone their own jar for their toothpaste and toothbrush.
Or mini bucket, or cartoon character cup. From here.
11. Stack spaghetti boxes in a magazine holder.
Although I don’t know how much spaghetti you need to keep in your house at any given time.
18. Line a vintage tea tin with scrapbook paper, and make small dividers labeled with types of tea.
Very simple directions here.

If you’re worried about rust, spray lightly with a corrosion inhibitor or anti-rust spray paint.
From here.

Tape is all there is to it. From here.
22. Pull out that serving plate stand you never use and turn it into a craft caddy.
Some useless wedding gifts CAN have second lives. From here.

More cute play room ideas here.
24. Transform an ordinary LACK table into a lego table.
And build magnetic storage containers into the sides. Get the full DIY here.
25. Stash game pieces in plastic bags behind the game board
28. Sort small office supplies into muffin cups.
More stylish than plastic drawer dividers. From here
29. Screw peanut butter jars to the bottom of your garage shelves to keep nails in check.
Get the how-to here.
30. String up a rainbow of ribbon spools with some chain and curtain rods.
You could also use dowels, and co-opt a few of the rods to hang wrapping paper. You will want to make sure the rods don’t slip out of the chain by putting some sort of stopper on the ends (maybe rubber bands). From here.
31. Dedicate a drawer to spices.
If you have enough spices, maybe it’s worth sacrificing a drawer. From here.
32. File circular needles away in a binder full of 4-pocket organizers.
You can also write down the needle’s size and length on a card behind it. Fromhere.

![The term “living in a bubble” may be associated with being disconnected from the harsh realities of the world, but in this case, it’s actually a good thing!
The Living O’Pod is an experimental pod house that promotes a better lifestyle through the integration of nature into the home’s design. Designed for two people to comfortably stay in, the pod is shaped like a transparent bubble that sits amongst the wilderness, with a design so minimal, it puts its surroundings front and center.
The two-story pod comes with a steel frame as its main structure, and glass panels all around, almost like a glass igloo. While this undeniably does a number on resident privacy, its remote location itself gives you the solitude you need to live with absolute transparency. The obvious benefit? Incredible lighting, stellar views, and probably the best sunrises and sunsets you could enjoy within the comforts of your bed!

![Called Island, this double-decker driverless tram has been designed especially for the city of Hong Kong, for the post-pandemic age. It won the 2020 GIDA Design Award.
The exteriors have been influenced by the buildings with curved curtain walls found in Hong Kong. Huge circular benches mark the interior of the tram, which allows passengers to sit facing outwards. The interiors feature charcoal gray walls, cushioned seats, wooden floors and trims with natural finish.

![The “Revolver” wall-mounted desk by Teixeira Design Studio features a corner drawer, which opens like a matryoshka in order to create a wider working area. The fun part is that you can play around with the 3 drawers through a swiveling and spinning system (hence the name) and overlaying elements.

![Odessa-based architecture and interior design firm K&B Partners designed the ‘Shell House’. Led by Kovtun Yuri and Burakov Egor, the firm created this structure to function as a modern family recreation center, located near the sea in Koblevo, Mykolaiv region, Ukraine. The intriguing structure draws its inspiration from mussels – a common mollusk found in the local area.
The mussel-shaped home is primarily built from wood – including the structure, and the outer decorative shell. Although situated on a single site, it serves as a home for multiple families. It is targeted toward small families of two people, or larger families of four or more people. If you look closely at the intriguing shape of the structure, you’ll notice that it mimics the shell of a bivalve mollusk specifically. Two massive shells are connected via a hinge, giving the modern recreation center a completely innovative and unique exterior.
Multiple Shell Houses are placed next to each other to create homes for different families. We, presume, each family will get their own living unit to reside in. A view from the top showcases mussel-inspired cottages that are almost smushed together – creating not only an interesting visual but architectural structures that somehow perfectly merge with their surroundings.
