Ikea's Gustav Laptop Table Is Good For Small Spaces, Wallets
Surely you can't frown on Ikea in a time such as this, when a recession is at hand? (Not that I ever frown on Ikea, for shame!)
The $150 Gustav Laptop Table isn't merely a petite table that could accommodate your laptop — though it does that with an extendable panel, so you can type or rest it on the leaf or the main surface.
What's great about the Gustav is that the drawer is the perfect size for laptop storage, and inside you'll also find a cable outlet so you can organize or hide the laptop's cords and cables.
The First Microsoft Retail Store Finally Opens
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced their plan to open a retail store, and yesterday was the day! The Scottsdale, AZ store drew an initial crowd of around 500 people who waited in line for the opening, including some die-hard fans who spent the night. Just before opening, employees handed out gift bags to the first customers in line, including a $25 gift certificate and tickets to an Ashley Tisdale concert at the store later in the day.
How-To: Decorate a Dual-Purpose Space
Having lived in a studio in the past, I've experienced first-hand the trials and tribulations of trying to make one room play two roles. I have many friends living tiny apartments who try to cram the furniture meant for both a living room and a bedroom into the same room, and let me tell you, none have succeeded. It's not only studio dwellers that encounter these issues, though.
Foxconn: Working Conditions Haven't Improved Over the Years
In the wake of the tragic news about 25-year-old Foxconn employee, Sun Danyoung, who fell to his death after an iPhone prototype went missing, authorities are now turning the tables on the billion dollar electronics manufacturer to further investigate the incident and company practices in general. Foxconn is not only responsible for producing products like the iPod, Mac mini and iPhone for Apple, but it also manufacturers items for Nintendo, Amazon, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Sony. Danyoung had told friends that he was beaten and humiliated by the factory's security team before his death, which was an alleged suicide.
Su Casa: An Elegant Entry
Su Casa member PoshBride recently posted photos of her fabulous entry makeover. I love how elegant and feminine this space is!
She writes,
When we moved into our new home in February, I immediately envisioned the beautiful Sex and the City blue paint that covered Carrie's walls when she redecorated her apartment.
What Electronics Can Be Recycled?
You can't escape the grocery, electronics or movie rental store without seeing a small cell recycling drop box, but how can you dispose of larger, more ecologically dangerous gadgets? Electronics companies have — or been forced to! — put considerable resources into making their products recyclable.
Ask Casa: A Home Office for Two
Hi CasaSugar,
My boyfriend and I are moving into a small one bedroom, but luckily the living room is quite spacious. As children of the digital age, we always have our laptops out for work or school. Is there some sort of space-saving desk that allows for two workstations at a time?
Turn Inexpensive Furniture Into All-In-One Charging Stations
I bought this Ikea Aneboda ($40) bedside table over the weekend, and am drafting up plans to turn it into an all-in-one charging station.
I realized after searching and scouring the Internet to track down the best charging station possible, that it probably wouldn't hold everything I wanted to charge, and the ones that might were way out of my price range. I don't see anything that could hold my laptop anyway.
Higher Priced and Hotter or Cheaper and Chicer?
The $25 Dave laptop table from Ikea still holds a special place in my heart — as well as a special place in both my bedroom and living room (tee-hee). But look out Mr. Dave, there's a sexier laptop stand in town and he's popping up at Target stores across the country. Unlike the Dave laptop table, the Ergonomic laptop desk from Target is made of metal in a laminate walnut finish, which you'll pay for with the table costing $50.
Ladies Who Brunch Together, Read Alone
Sunday morning. It's sunny and warm, gorgeous — the perfect time to poach an egg and fail. With laptops in tow, my roommate and I sat down to eat pain perdu and read the news.
