It's funny the stages ramen-consumption has poised itself throughout the course of my life. Growing up, it's that easy-to-make goodness hidden in the back of my cupboards that I consumed when I was sick. When I hit college, it was what I stocked my apartment with because the dollar menu at McDonald's was just a bit too far out of my price range.

Now in my more 'adult' lifestyle,  ramen has now taken a slightly higher place on the my "eating totem pole," as trips to authentic ramen houses have become an experience I look forward to anytime we get a rainy day. Thanks to the folks at Hack College, we have an infographic on all the interesting facts and figures about the staple in American student cuisine –

Pantone Light

Materials: Ikea PS Maskros Pendant lamp / Custom Pantone Chips / Hot Glue Gun

Description: We are always looking for unique items that can excite and personalize our studio, and this lamp is a perfect canvas.

This project was super fun, but we also faced some challenges. It was important to get the right proportion throughout the piece, as a whole. Based on how each spindle is spaced, the shapes of the solid rectangle chips would overlap at the top and bottom of the lamp. Our preference was to have equal distance between each chip.

Materials: Nordmyra chair, wallpaper, spray adhesive, knife

Description:
I found a Nordmyra chair in the clearance section that had been scratched on the seat. Nothing a little camouflage can't fix! I cut pieces of leftover wallpaper to size for the seat and back, and used spray adhesive and then covered in a glaze just to make sure the edges don't fray. Love it!
