This Umbra loft magazine rack in black looks nice. I’d get it to store my miscellaneous magazine collection if only it weren’t a floor rack. I already have too much crap on my floor. I’m still looking for a nice magazine rack that goes on the wall. There are a lot out there, but none that make me want to feel creative or show it off on Doobybrain.

Not everybody has a big house, so when Les ateliers L. McComber was asked to make a new room for a baby in a small apartment loft, they came up with a plan that put the parents literally above their baby. The 700 square foot space in Montreal, Canada was split vertically allowing the baby room and crib to reside beneath the master bedroom. The master bedroom sits on top of solid piece of curved douglas fir plywood and steel tubes, and everything is lit by fluorescent bulbs along the walls. To get up to the bed, you have to climb a ladder that is also made of steel and plywood.
I think it’s a pretty neat space-saving idea and I would trust the construction of such a space over my baby. But really, I think the curved plywood alone is reason to build such a division in a house. Pretty neat huh!
