About Big Box Detox

We are Kristen and Eric.  Kristen the librarian and Eric the PhD student.  Spending the better part of the last ten years at university has cramped our style and left us feeling bloated.  We need to detox.  Big Box Detox that is.

We are cutting out the chain stores, becoming less reliant on big box retailers and more self-sufficient.

We’re on the lookout for fabulous independent and handmade design finds.  We’re also embarking on several adventures (and misadventures) in DIY and going off on the occasional rant.  Follow our quest and join the wave as we work towards stylish living with a conscience.

Hi there!

You don’t know me at all – I recently started following your blog. I wanted to let you know that I was recently awarded the “Stylish Blogger” award. And why am I telling you this? B/c with such great honor comes great responsibility and one of those responsibilities was that I pass the award along to blogs that I think are stylin’. You are definitely one of them. :)

You can see my post about it here: http://www.flightofthepook.com/2011/01/so-stylin.html . Feel free to participate if you have time and have some bloggers you’d like to give a nod to! (If you don’t want to/can’t get around to this little game, that’s quite alright by me – I know we’re all busy.)

Anyway, thanks for being so cool! I really enjoy your blog so far – it seems right up my alley. I look forward to getting to “know” you better!

I found you on Ana-White. Love your blog and can’t wait to read all the good information. Love the bed and fabric choice. I am going to try this one. Thanks for supporting all the great creative people out there.

I found your blog also from Ana White and plan to follow your instructions in making the bed! I’ve had fun looking around — love the blog. I am also a librarian (though still looking for my first “career” position – I’m an assistant at an academic library right now), so its always fun to find someone in the same profession with similar hobbies!
