… when you can make a sketch at work, buy the wood and build it for less than 20 euros.
Is it perfect – no. Would I have done stuff differently looking back – yes. BUT I BUILD IT. NO HELP, NO NOTHING. I am amazed its even standing. I am extremely proud of my first project! (in case you missed it).
Things I would do differently for next time – use better wood, this is a bit pallet-ish, use smaller “covers”, so instead of 4 x 10 cm, i would use 8 x 5 cm.. you know to make the gaps smaller.
I still love it though in all its imperfectness.. yes i know i am making up words today, thats okay, you understand them.
The frames are my beloved ribba ones and the art is from etsy.. i am still waiting for the last one to arrive. you know because the whole empty frame look doesnt look good. thats what my bf says anyways!
oh i also built a desk.. stay tuned!
if any questions you know what to do!
The chair is 322 Euro – shipping is 336! WHY!!??
Im still considering it though.
You read right. I always knew about it, just didn’t think about it actually adding it before I saw a certain pin on pinterest, which led me to THIS post about them.
I am obsessed. I would love to be so handy that I could build it myself, I have 4 exposed radiators after all. But it’s just not something I would know how to do, so I asked some different carpenters for quotes and now I’m just waiting for them to get back to me.
What do you think? How do you feel about exposed radiators? I think a white base with a chunky wood top stained to match our doors would look really good in the living room.
Oh and if you want to pin any of this, please go to the original post 
Hello everyone (if anyone is still here).
I know I am a terrible blogger. The thing is I don’t know normally blog, unless I have something to say. I don’t blog, just to blog, if that makes any sense. But I actually do have something to say, this time. A lot has happened in the home, so I can’t even use that as an excuse. The excuse however is that I started work again, I had my parents visiting and I done a bit of travelling.
One of the things I done is make the dining table, I had envisioned in the idea board for the living room/dining room. Im.Loving.It! It was ridiculously easy to do and it changed the room so much. Oh and it barely cost anything!
This is what I done.
The INGO table, come as must things IKEA unassembled, so it was just a matter of not attaching the legs and attach the VIKA MOLIDEN legs instead. Easy!
Oh and I stained the top to have it match the DIY coffee table.
Oh and we replaced the couch (as you can see a glimpse of) and TV-Table as well.
I know I was trying to de-IKEA the place. But it didn’t happen. In fact, I thought fuck it. If you cant beat them… join them.
I promise ill be back soon again to share the rest!
Hello!
