ReadyMade.com: T-minus 1 day…

Loyal readers of this here blog have likely noticed that lately, things have been pretty quiet ’round these parts. (Sorry about that!) But we hope that you’ll be happy to learn that our excuse for the radio silence is a good one: We’ve been hard at work on a brand new website, and it’s finally ready for launch.

That’s right, folks—we’ve re-designed ReadyMade’s online HQ, and the time has come to show it off. So this weekend, that’s exactly what we’ll do. (Surprise!)

Here’s the skinny: We’re switching domains (from readymademag.com to readymade.com), streamlining a few things, and adding all kinds of new goodies to our ever-expanding corner of the good old World Wide Web. Please bear with us, of course, as we’re sure to encounter a few bugs while we complete the transition, but in the meantime, have fun clicking around our new digs. And don’t forget to tell us what you think: Drop us a line at letters@readymademag.com, or hit us up in the comments of our brand new blog!

As someone who’s always wanted to renovate and run an old movie theater, I flipped over these Marimekko -clad movie theater seats. After scoring some old theater cast-offs, Sonya of the KnitSonya blog let them languish for a while in closets and hallways before deciding what to do with them. Then she…
