Reinier de Jong has released a new and improved REK bookcase , one of my favorite bookshelves we ever featured on Design Milk . If you recall, we blogged about this creative storage solution back in 2008 . Four years later, his new version has been refinished and is much more lightweight, making it easier to move and slide

Creative Book Storage Solution: REK by Reinier de Jong

What do you get when you pair high ceilings with big, clear windows? An absolutely gorgeous living room!

Add in some built-in see-through bookshelves, a swanky ladder, a beauty of a hot pink chair and you have the best living room I think I’ve ever seen. I could list every item of this room and still continue to find things that I love about it. The bike, the black lamp, that table with the frames. The black and white pillows.

What’s your favorite part of this modern living room?

Materials: Ivar verticals, Ivar shelves, 6mm dowels, twine, varnish Description: When we left the last city we lived in and sold all of our Ikea furniture, I swore “No more pressboard. No more low-end Ikea. Next time, solid wood and antiques only.” Of course, within weeks of the move, I was back inside an Ikea, looking for inexpensive furniture to supplement what was already in our furnished flat – especially bookshelves. But, the furniture we get now will go into the place we eventually buy, and I was determined to stay away from Billy shelves
