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.
