Now you can build fully-functioning furniture with these giant LEGO-inspired bricks

I bet your child's room could use a little bit of color. Why not build a study table or a toy chest made of LEGO bricks? Sounds fun, huh? But in reality, creating fully-functioning furniture out of those plastic construction toys can be challenging. The bricks are too small, and sometimes they're a bit annoying to use especially if you're dealing with large-scale creations.

But now thanks to EverBlock, there's no need to tediously stack thousands of bricks together to construct modular furniture. The oversized, LEGO-inspired blocks can be turned into tables, chairs, room dividers, and even shelters, using just a few pieces. Made of polypropylene, EverBlocks are specially designed to be easily stackable, allowing DIYers to build an endless range of furniture options.

"Each module is designed to connect easily with the parts above and below, using a pressure fit which creates a strong link between blocks." says EverBlock. "Anything you've constructed can be taken apart and re-assembled again, and the pieces can be re-used to build other objects, making EverBlock a unique green building method."

The New York-based company currently offers three types of blocks in an array of colors. There's a full-size 12 x 6 inches block, a half-size 6 x 6 inches block, and a 3 x 6 inches quarter-block. Users can also add cap pieces to give a bit of polish to their constructions. You can buy them separately or in bulk, with prices starting around $5 per piece.

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...
