An Easy DIY Candelabra
An Easy DIY Candelabra
The Author of "Home from the Hardware Store" Shows Us How to Do It
On a scale of handyman aptitude, we’re closer to Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor (Super Gluing his fingers together) than Bob Vila.
But we still know our way around nuts and bolts, thanks to Home from the Hardware Store, a new book with foolproof instructions for DIY home decor — from chandeliers to table runners — made with items you can find at your local Home Depot or Ace.
In today’s videos, Brooklyn-based co-author Stephen Antonson showed us two projects: a ridiculously simple candelabra made of inexpensive plumbing parts (above) and how to turn tubes into modern, round shelving units. The former takes literally five minutes; the latter, maybe an hour.
No Al Borland required.

Dedicated Video E-mail: When in Rome
Blind dating. Speed dating. Online dating. You’ve tried everything in your shameless quest to find the perfect man.
So you’ll totally relate to When in Rome. The new film stars Kristen Bell as an ambitious, relationship-challenged New Yorker who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome. There she defiantly steals coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of the men who threw them in.
Her new suitors include a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, she’ll have to determine if it’s the work of the coins or the real thing.
Which is still easier than online dating.
When in Rome opens this Friday. Check local listings for showtimes.
