In a mere seven years, Onyx Coffee Lab has skyrocketed in popularity from its humble beginnings in Springdale, Arkansas, and it's not hard to understand why. Founders Jon and Andrea Allen have won countless awards for their barista skills and creative brews. They are one of the first roasters to play with lactic-acid-processed micro-lot coffees, which is a very fancy way of saying they live on the cutting edge. After catching the attention of dozens of national wholesalers, the obvious next step was for the Allens to open a new headquarters location. Slightly less obvious was their decision to do so in a massive, 110-year old building. Five other businesses call The 1907 home, but Onyx clearly dominates the space with its gorgeous coffee bar, roastery, and training lab. Whether you're purchasing a bag of their honey-processed Tres Milagros beans, stopping in for a quick sip of espresso, or luxuriating over their coffee milkshake, you're surely in for a treat.

The little nook at the bottom of these stairs wasn’t really serving a purpose. The steamer trunk is undeniably cool, but it couldn’t do the heavy lifting of filling out the otherwise blank question mark of a space. Suzanne was transitioning into her new life as founder of a design company and really needed a place to work until she could move into an office. She thought about using the basement, but it was dark and sparse. The two problems became one solution: Suzanne measured the space and realized that the small IKEA desk she had purchased would fit perfectly.

Although her two classic cherry wood dressers looked great for their age, Lindsey of Repurpose and Recycle wanted to style them to fit in with the rest of her modern farmhouse bedroom. They’ve been in the family since the ’80s, so it’s no wonder they needed a bit of an update. The Restoration Hardware Printmaker’s collection gave her the inspiration, but the result was two totally original, unique pieces of furniture.

Chelsey Brown’s kitchen was pretty nice from the beginning: It had modern looking appliances and cabinets, and there was enough square footage to move around without feeling like the walls were closing in. But Chelsey found the space a little too boring for her liking. She wanted to make the room brighter and more open while respecting the terms of her lease and keeping costs low.
