budge. They were attached to plywood that was bolted to a metal plate attached to a very large lag bolt (2ft.) that was bolted in the attic. There were 2 of these. Now I just need to figure out what kind of lights to use. I was thinking of pendant lighting or can lights. Maybe even a track light that is simiilar to the one I have over the sink but only bigger. What do you think?

We just moved into this house a couple of months ago and are doing some minor remodeling. I hate these spindles under my cabinet. I would love to remove the upper cabinets but I need the space for storage and I need something to support my cabinets. I would love any suggestions or pictures if you had the same issue and came up with a great solution. Eventually I would like to remodel the kitchen but that is much further down the road.

When a friend asked me recently to design an Adventure/Map bedroom for her seven year old son, I thought it was the perfect time to put it to use.

I'm designing his bedroom around the world travel concept using maps, globes and flags and thought this headboard complete with reading lanterns, would make a great addition to the room.

I even added some old lanterns for reading in bed!
