IKEA Hacker FTW!
A few months ago I had posted a link to a website dedicated to the ingenious ways people modify IKEA furniture to better suit their needs. Rachel and I were inspired by the site to do a little “hacking” of our own and used our new power tools to turn two upright DVD storage units into horizontal shelving that fit perfectly underneath the lip of our kitchen island.
I sent pictures of our project to the IKEA Hacker website and they’ve finally ! It’s not the prettiest piece of furniture in the world but it cost us nothing to make (other than a few hours of hammering) and meets our needs perfectly.
