Do It Yourself!
A truly custom space involves putting your own fun twist on things. Why not make your own furniture and create a unique one-of-a-kind piece? www.instructables.com has great how-to videos that are posted by everyday people. In most cases, people had a need in their home: a desk, chair, bed… (or even lcd screens and lamps!) and they posted their success step-by-step. I love this Workbench/Storage Shelf posted by simplifiedbuilding. This would be a great industrial piece to use in a bathroom to stack towels, or as a kitchen island. Find the directions here.
