Neighborhood Spy: Living It Up with the Boys

White House Beer Kit via Cool Material

We’ll admit it: quite a few of our posts lately have been specifically geared toward the fairer sex — glimpses into Lauren Conrad’s office, a roundup of feminine fall accents, a piece on the comeback of quilts — so today’s link roundup is decidedly tipped in the favor of the masculine gender.

First up, Cool Material gives us a first glimpse at the White House Beer Kit, perfect for welcoming fall with a frosty mug of presidential brew (above).

Next, JT (yes, that JT) and his crew over at HomeMint deliver up a quick feature on fresco towels — a subtly-stylish way to say goodbye to the beach barbecue-filled days of summer:

For the DIYers out there, IKEA Hackers gives us a tutorial on how to craft a wind measurement tool — and one heck of a conversation piece — out of a set of salad bowls. True story:

Elsewhere on the web, One Kings Lane opens up a classic sale on all things black and white, but hurry… it ends this Saturday

…and last but not least, Remodelista throws one to the boys with its story on a Viennese coffehouse-inspired restaurant in the heart of LA with a decidedly masculine — and grandly compelling — design aesthetic.

    White House beer? Never heard of it! Any idea on the price?

    Hi Penny! The official recipes were released in the past couple of weeks, and Northern Brewer has made a series of kits using the recipes. They range from $35 to $150. Here’s a link to the kits and the recipes themselves… cheers!
