Few things are as delightful as sliding into clean, soft sheets and, as focus shifts to the bedroom here on AT, we thought this bedding basic was a great place to start. We first discovered Pure Beech modal sheets over 6 years ago while looking for simple, affordable bedding at Bed, Bath & Beyond — little did we know we would fall in love, and with a eco-friendly material, too! Not only are they amazing to sleep on, these sheets are produced in accordance with ecological standards and sustainability, and contain no pesticides or toxic substances...
Hi AT! I'm planning on building a workshop/studio that will look like a garage from the outside. It needs to have garage doors to get larger pieces of artwork in and out but since I live in Maine (currently 17 degrees outside), they need to be super energy efficient. Also, it would be a plus to have lots of glass since they will be facing the north. I'm also open to them looking more contemporary and less traditional. Any ideas out there? Thanks! Tina

Below are twelve of this year's most interesting "before and after" transformations...
