Materials: Pax

Description:
I wanted to share my hack because I thought it might give a few people with broken panels in their sliding doors hope. In efforts to save money on my wardrobe, I purchased my PAX used off of Craigslist. I saved $1,500, but had the problem of a door front that wasn’t to my taste (the black EIKESDAL) and a glass panel that was shattered (IKEA doesn’t sell replacement panels).

To fix the problem, I simply bought enough upholstery fabric to cover the panels, had a thin piece of plywood cut to the same size as the glass panels, and used duct tape to keep the fabric. After painting the “wooden” portions white and assembling the door, I ended up with a great wardrobe at a fraction of the price!

Here’s more about how I made the doors and my finished wardrobe all put together.

These are trays that I filled with various items, pasta, seashells, stones and then I “drown” them with epoxy resin.

Materials: Capita

Description:
Finally got around to “remaking” the dining room table. The top is from the old table…the cart was bought on Craigslist. The Capita braces are from IKEA.

Here is the link to the project.

Materials: Figgjo mirror

Description:
Needed a “different” wall clock for my granddaughter’s first apartment, but everything at IKEA was ho-hum.

Materials: Lyster candle dish, Tallvik table lamp, Florera candle dish

Description:
It took quite a bit of work to get the look I wanted and I’d like to share it with the Ikeahacker world. I bought a vintage ceramic lamp and was determined to replace the brass hardware with brushed stainless steel or nickel to blend into my decor (I have no brass by choice).

Before I dive into the hack, I wanted to take this chance to wish you all a very merry Christmas. I won’t be posting any hacks over the weekend, as I will be busy stuffing my face and opening presents. Hope you will be getting some great gifts too. Should you receive one off Steve Jobs’ production line, you may want to hack this stand for it and save a bundle. ~ Jules

Materials: $3 EKBY VALTER bracket, 1 dowel, 2 screws

Description:
1) Take Ekby Valter bracket and turn it upside down.

2) Remove bottom screw from Ekby, replace with longer screw, then screw dowel into same hole (make sure the dowel is screwed in so that it makes a deeper lip for iPad to sit on).

3) Screw in a horizontal dowel in the hole below, close enough to the surface, to act as a stabilizer.

4) Add rubber cushion things for traction (and to make sure that stabilizer actually touches the surface)
