      Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for your sweet comment on the new design…I know you understand the work involved in that!

    Hello Kim;

    I recently just created an original IKEA Hack for a vertical storage bin, to hold artist’s canvas and framed artwork. This design is MUCH cheaper than purchasing a bin from an art supply shop. The free step-by-step instructions are on the IKEA Hackers website:

    http://www.ikeahackers.net/2013/09/gorm-vertical-artwork-storage-bin.html

    I’m using it to store my own artwork and supplies. It is sturdy, big enough to hold LOTS of materials and was super inexpensive to make!

    I just recently did my own Ikea Hack!

    I bought 2 Expedit shelves turned them on their sides, ordered seat foam online and delivered to the front in the exact size which was stapled with Ikea fabric to a board and secured to the shelves. I now have a corner bench seat with storage baskets! Love it!!!

    Hi Kim,
    We are Ikea crazed in this family. One summer my 7 year old was away for the summer so we decided to redo her room. I’d like to share a photo but I’m new to sharing (help). We used two shelving units, a piece of wood and wood trim to create this look in her bedroom. You may see (quite a few) other Ikea elements in the room. 🙂

    I will be going through each and every one of these hacks!

    Thanks,
    Andrea

    Wow that is the Ikea-list-hack of the year. Its almost as an Ikea library itself. I have to tell you that I really like the one from centsationalgirl number 79. Because we had some sitting place at the window in the old house, but we are moving. In the new place we dont got anything. But now I got the idea to actually make one of my own with some help from Kate 🙂
