Bad: Violinist David Garrett fell.
Worse: It was down a flight of stairs.
Luckily: His violin case broke his fall.
Just when you thought everything was going to be okay (The Final Reversal): Inside was a $1 million Stradivarius which was smashed to bits!
Ouch! That was one expensive fall: Link – via One Large Prawn
Tom Sloan at Levitate Architects came up with a neat solution to a storage problem in this London Victorian apartment:
We created a ‘secret’ staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. Limited by space, we melded the idea of a staircase with our client’s desire for a library to form a ‘library staircase’ in which English oak stair treads and shelves are both completely lined with books.

Our intrepid writer StacyBee went on a tour of Lizzie Borden‘s house (now a Bed & Breakfast!) and had this to say about the experience:
You know, as much as I enjoy being creeped out and watching scary movies and reading about the bizarre and macabre and paranormal, I just don’t think I could spend the night at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast. [...]
People who have stayed there report seeing indentations on the bed like someone has been lying there, when no one has been. And the owner says there’s a rocking chair that seems to mysteriously move itself across the room when no one is looking. Lights go on and off (Maybe it’s the notoriously cheap Andrew Borden trying to save electricity), cabinets open a shut. Your typical haunted house fare.
Could you stay at the Lizzie Borden B&B, and sleep right next to the spot where Mr. and Mrs. Borden were hacked to death? Brrrr!!!
