We’d buy Holly Berry ‘s Morse Code blankets for their bright colors, punchy pattern, and quality crafting. But when we found out that spell the word LOVE across them in Morse code, we absolutely had to have one.

Fulo ‘s Constellation Table is basically a many-legged table, except that the placement of the lefts is determined by you. Place four legs in the corner, or take inspiration from the stars and create a constellation of legs.

Materials: VANVIK bed (full), SARALISA, MINNA, & DITTE yard fabric, cording for piping, velcro, sewing machine, electic staple gun, and hours of measuring, pinning, and sewing! Description: A few years ago, IKEA released the VANVIK bed frame featuring curved black metal legs, adorned by a slipcover featuring the LEABY black & white floral print that was originally introduced in the EKTORP slipcover. I immediately fell in love with this bed, and was fortunate enough to purchase the floor model at the end of it's existence in the IKEA range. Sadly this version is now discontinued, but its sister version in white with a tailored bed skirt is still available. The curved lines, and the metal feet were the qualities that initially attracted my liking to this piece of furniture.

If you had to absolutely choose between one or the other – which would you rather – a chandelier or a drum? And where would you put it?
Chandeliers come in so many different varieties – some ginormous, some smaller, some colored, some clear and sparkly. The one thing I would never choose in a chandelier is lights that look like big fake candles. It just takes away from the glamour effect of a chandelier, if you ask me. Also, I know many kinds of lights are referred to as chandeliers, but for me, I think of beautiful chandeliers in the image above when I think of chandeliers – not anything beaded or crazy like that. Now I’m not saying those aren’t considered chandeliers – just not what immediately comes to mind, ya feel?!?!
So what about drum lights? I have one hanging about my kitchen table and I love it. It’s just a plain linen, not as dramatic as the black shade shown above. But, sometimes you just can’t beat the clean, modern look that a drum shade brings into a room.
So, if push came to shove, I would rather have a chandelier. How about you??

Materials: Lack TV bench & Lack Side Table Description: We had a lack TV bench which held a 36″ CRT tv and it didn’t hold up well, bowing the top piece of the bench. The Lack bench was also damaged by water when the basement leaked. When we moved and switched to an LED tv I wanted a sleek stand to go with it. I really enjoy furniture which appears to float, so I wanted to create something out of some pieces I had lying around (I didn’t know Ikeahackers existed at that point)
