DIY madness

I feel like it is about time I post some of the cool DIY concepts I have gathering in my space disk. Some of them might be waiting to be found and transformed in the garbage near you.

DIY inspiration

 

Yesterday we finally had the long awaited date with IKEA. It wasn’t everything I expected as my (love at first sight) PS VAGO chair we were waiting to find not only was out of stock but will be back next year (sigh).

DIY project #1

The IKEA DIY (Do It Yourself) blogs that I found out here, and spring as I mentioned already, got me in the mood for some DIY solutions for my petite room. I thought to decorate a hanger, so that it looks good on my wall holding all my scarves that are suitable for this season and didn't get packed. 

So, I naturally choose yellow, green and orange as is most of my room decoration and found ribbons that weren’t useful anywhere else (title of shops on one side), some beeds, got my white glue and my super glue out and started glueing. 

IKEA sites to DIY

The spring brings me into DIY(do it yourself) mood and I am looking forward to visiting the all time favorite IKEA store that provides the perfect, economical, first materials for some great original results. 

So I searched the web and came up with a list of sites that provide very useful ideas to personalize the IKEA products.

livethemma : a new site written in swedish which is quite a turn off, but still has such great consepts that makes it worth to at least look at the pics.

theikeablog: a blog to share your Ikea experience, including hacks, reviews, discontinued products you will miss and so on.

ikeahackers: a site to help you hack, personalise, repurpose IKEA products into the very thing each person wants.

ikeafans: a community of IKEA fans giving out information about the stores and company and all kind of information you might need but also post some useful ways to personalize the IKEA products.

 Hope you found something useful.
