Materials: Any furniture Expedit series, two or three little selves, polyethylene foam (or manila rope), two scratching boards Description: The aim is to create a space in which the cat can climb to the top of the main shelf, finding footholds in their path, they can also serve to drop to the floor when he wants. The shelves must be small, cannot occupy the entire width of the Expedit. You can cut a shelf EKBI Laiva, although I reuse a piece of Pax wardrobe by cutting the right size.

Mid-Century Lack TV Hack

Materials: Lack TV stand, four mid-century legs, wall pop stickers (orange), plywood, foam board Description: I submitted the Fullen Bar hack a while ago, and since I am never satisfied with my living room, this week I decided to tackle my lack TV stand. I recently “inherited” some mid-century furniture legs which I used to replace the short, chunky lack legs. NEW LEGS – The lack TV stand particle board was not strong enough to hold the screws for the new legs so I had a half inch thick plywood board cut to 54″x18″. – I attached the legs to the corners of the board, making a bench. – I then attached the Lack TV stand to the plywood bench with three inch screws.

Non-Rast Playkitchen from kitchen doors

Materials: Valla kitchen doors, Sätta handle, Placemat (black and red) Description: I planned to make a play-kitchen for my daughter and searched for some inspiration on IKEAHackers.
