IKEA Hacker: different insipiration other than web
Tragic at my condo
Our condo recently just got flooded due to the waterline breakage behind the fridge. We had to remove all the carpet so now we are living on the bare concrete! I had planned to get hardwood floor anywayz, but everything starts one month early! And because we are on the bare concrete, nothing better than just paint the whole place anywayz.
During the painting process, we had to remove our wall shelf in order to get all the area painted. The problem is, after we remove the shelf, the anchor in the drywall is no longer valid! We put the shelf back in, put the stuff back on, and then “whomp”, everything comes back down plus adding holes to the drywall. Argh.
Now we have to patch up the holes, and we can’t install the shelf on the wall again! So what can we do about the shelf? Add few legs to the shelf and make it into a little table to hold the stuff instead.
Handsome makeover for ugly AC unit
This all came from the great inspiration of Ikea Hacker blog. I randomly check this site for inspiration. I do agree that IKEA’s stuff is never really that durable, but IKEA is everywhere (and probably the cheapest for the design that they offer)! And because all the furniture came in pieces, you can reuse those pieces and make it to something else. It’s brilliant!
This guy transformed his ugly AC unit into a handsome furniture piece that adds accent to the place. It’s just beautiful!
And someone put together Vika Fintorp leg and Lack shelf to make a slim entry table. It’s also brilliant!
This is far the best hack I’ve seen. Salad Bowl Speakers. Who would thought of a salad bowl can be turned into something sexy.
Home improvement is one of my 2009 goal, and it’s literally taking half of my free time to accomplish it. Think outside of the box is what I say to myself all the time, but most of the time I still think inside of the box. lol
