Materials: Vika amon custom table, Knuff Description: I was really in the need of someplace to store my 11×17 paper for my large format printer. I was storing it on the floor under the desk but I kept kicking it. Then I had it on a HOL storage cube that we store our blankets in. That became a pain. So I went down to our favorite Swedish furniture store with a mission.

Materials: Stranda Dresser, 3/4 plywood, 2 x 2, bendable MDF, Paint Description: I was in love with the Powell Parisian line of furniture for kids but couldn’t justify the expense. So I got creative with my Ikea Stranda dersser. I cut 4 half figure eight panels out of 3/4 inch plywood and attached them to the sides of the dressers with screws and 2 x 2’s. They’re attached with regular dry wall screws. The sides are enclosed using the bendable MDF and finishing nails

Materials: Faktum wall cabinet in various size and Grip handle Description: I wanted a clean geometrical minimalist full height storage unit that can fit my existing audio system as well. With detailed measurement of the wall space in terms of the length and ceiling height and with the help of my 3d software, I found the best fit after several configuration basing on the cabinets assortment of sizes.

Materials: LACK TV bench, VIKA RORBY trestles Description: I own a digital piano but for a long time just had it sitting atop one of those flimsy x-shaped metal stands. This was problematic because my cats liked to jump up on top of it which was not good for the keys and also made me worried they’d knock it over. So I was looking for a sturdier solution with a top over the keyboard, but finding a piece of furniture long and narrow enough to accommodate a full 88-key digital piano was a problem

Materials: Faktum, Abstrakt, Hollviken Description: My problem was that I like the Hollviken bathtub, but I personally think that most of the Ikea bathroom furniture aestetically sucks. At the same time, I also like the slickness of the Abstrakt series. So I took a 80cm wide Hollviken and I mounted it on a 80cm faktum base cabinet designed to resist the weight of a ceramic sink.

Materials: Ikea Lack Side Table, Sisal Rope, Hot glue gun, E600 Description: I have an Ikea Lack side table that the Mr. and I bought years ago when we were just starting out and had no furniture. It was headed for the dumpster, when I thought it would be perfect if it was covered in sisal rope. This project took a good amount of time, and my fingers are sore and burnt, but it in the end it was absolutely worth it. Supplies: table, sandpaper, 2 packages 1/4″ x 100 feet sisal rope, 3 packages 3/8″ x 50 feet sisal rope, E600 adhesive and a hot glue gun with a ton of hot glue sticks (mine is a mini one and I used over 100 sticks!) Start out by lightly sanding the entire table and then wipe it off with a damp cloth (in a well ventilated area) I started with the legs (sorry, I forgot to take pictures of this step) and used the hot glue gun to stick the rope on the bottom of the leg with a side that will be facing inside to the table.

Materials: MALM chest of drawers, BILLY bookcase Description: My girlfriend wanted an entertainment center where she couldn’t see any of the DVD’s. Also, more space for pictures. The center is an as-is MALM 6-drawer chest of drawers. For the side units, we combined a MALM 3-drawer chest of drawers and a BILLY book case. They’re the exact same width, so it looks like it’s one piece of furniture

Materials: Klippan footstool, wood sofa legs, metal mounting plates Description: The tube metal legs have always been my least favorite part of my Klippan loveseat and footstools. (I liked them even less when I saw the cool angled wooden legs that first came with the sofa in the 1970s: http://vimeo.com/5821682) I will admit, I probably spent just as much time online researching how to do this hack than I did actually putting it together. Online I was able to find some shapely turned wood furniture legs rather cheaply, which would give a cool ‘minimalist cottage’ look to my footstools. I was expecting to have to switch out the hanger bolts for metric ones
