Materials: Lack end tables and Lack shelves Description: We wanted to create an entertainment center look without purchasing the huge piece of furniture. Inspired by this IKEA Hackers post we decided to pick up a bunch of Lack tables and attach the tops to our brick wall. The black brown color already matched our IKEA media center and leaving space in between each row left room for a couple Lack shelves (also in black-brown) that we are still brainstorming arrangements for!

Materials: Lack Coffee table (birch effect), stain, paint in different colors, clear paint, sand paper Description: Our Lack table didn’t match the rest of our furniture anymore, so I looked for an idea to fit in. First I sanded the thin layer of clear paint from the table, hoping to find at least a little bit of something what is called wood, plywood or similar.

Materials: BESTA Description: Needed a cheap solution to place radio, TV, old radio and books in the living room. So I bought a long wooden countertop (kitchen stuff was on sale) and 6 furniture casters. Then went to IKEA and bought 6 ordinary white BESTA and stacked one above the other

Materials: Malm Bed Base Description: This hack begins with a king-size Malm bed base that we no longer had any use for. Rather than get rid of it I had an idea that the headboard and base were nice-enough looking pieces of wood to be reused and, given that our TV was sitting on a small, worn out stand, I thought I’d have a go at making a TV unit/sideboard/thing.

Materials: MALM four drawer unit, spray adhesive, inexpense engineer print, digital photo Description: I wanted to customize my boring MALM dresser and after searching for inspiration I found only fabric, wallpaper and wood trims being applied to the dresser fronts. I decided, as a photographer/mom who loves her kids’ faces/decorator obsessed with OVERSIZEness, that I should go with a photo. I knew that you could get super cheap larger than life black and whites at your local copy shop (staples, office depot)

Materials: Lack table Description: I gessoed the table completely then applied torn bits of paper from magazines, ads, show tickets, bus tickets, letters, stamps, a few scraps of handmade papers I had lying around, junk mail, you name it, using a matt acrylic medium. After it was dry I applied a coat of satin varnish acrylic medium. See more of the gessoed Lack table . ~ Susan Avishai, Toronto

Materials: (2) EXPEDIT 5X1 Shelving unit’s, FIXA floor protectors, (2) sheets MDF, (1) 4X4 post, wood screws, power drill Description: While spending some time in the US, I wanted to show my brother the potential of IKEA furniture. A few days later, I surprised him with a modern, functional upgrade to his bed.I wanted to provide adequate storage in a room with minimal space. My idea was to take advantage of the DRONA boxes in conjunction with the EXPEDIT shelves. Step 1: Using the completed EXPEDIT unit, I was able to take proper measurements for the EXPEDIT unit that needed to be trimmed down

Materials: Faktum Abstrakt wall cabinets (37×80x92cm) Description: We spent all our money on the mega-sized design office table. So there was hardly any money left for the storage cabinet.

Materials: KARLSTAD sofas (2), birch plywood, wood edging, walnut Description: Two of the things I love most in this world are modern design and cats. My cats have destroyed furniture in the past so when it was time for a new sofa I was determined to outwit them by finding a modern sofa they could not use as a scratching post.
