As always, instead of simply buying one, we went to IKEA and got a stool named ODDVAR (77996709) and a curtain named INGMAJ (00212714). Using these and two drawer slides, we created a bedside locker with a sliding top board. In case you want to have your own:  <br /><br />You assemble ODDVAR exept for the top and paint both pieces. Then you cut the curtain (or any other thick fabric) into four pieces for the sides (15 x 25 cm) and  two pieces for the bottom (33 x 24 cm). Put the curtain pieces and the bottom part of the stool together using a staple gun. The two bottom pieces are put on crossed, so there are no gaps, where anything could slip through. <br /><br />Mount the top board using the drawer slides (or two hinges, but then you'll have to take everything off the table before opening it). Aaaaannnndd: You're done. We used some of the curtain fabric for a small tablecloth. First thing we put in the locker were two small speakers, so guests can listen to their music in the evening... <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTBiovUCO0pN7f6R0K6NUYJZ4JJMIiiOhYZwZQencnM76NeVPeNZMRFLl7doIB9i1PKeZeuk3WLFQWkx74WuYNEm5OokbQSFAH8gcY6GtTWkFvIAqnzoO9ARfWiso5ArjA5tLCb-ntTFS/s1600/beistelltisch-01.JPG.scaled1000-727212.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658919319485916674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTBiovUCO0pN7f6R0K6NUYJZ4JJMIiiOhYZwZQencnM76NeVPeNZMRFLl7doIB9i1PKeZeuk3WLFQWkx74WuYNEm5OokbQSFAH8gcY6GtTWkFvIAqnzoO9ARfWiso5ArjA5tLCb-ntTFS/s640/beistelltisch-01.JPG.scaled1000-727212.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkErEVikpU-rbJE9lyAtMBNXwlQyZOZOvAYL0w7zsXlnnlDTGLMjwLe1-mevAw81THxp926MY2Yr8_OrZfnbO-J8y20PQMCH1rjWs4EUQQYQb5IdaM32V-hHJ_MmcIUeNP48LA_wOJA_a6/s1600/beistelltisch-02.JPG.scaled1000-728172.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658919325571064898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkErEVikpU-rbJE9lyAtMBNXwlQyZOZOvAYL0w7zsXlnnlDTGLMjwLe1-mevAw81THxp926MY2Yr8_OrZfnbO-J8y20PQMCH1rjWs4EUQQYQb5IdaM32V-hHJ_MmcIUeNP48LA_wOJA_a6/s640/beistelltisch-02.JPG.scaled1000-728172.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz7w0yltVXUUBzrZeX-QpqHTw73JMnvHH2FBPXbLvpLUSdDyjOlVn3r00SPR-xmYEoRcjc1jV44PKYHuz_1jJWbzguaWL3rN76KhzkMuztWrmTVVbb2vZAxfKRbdKrJ0SahJjpCkQHzuPo/s1600/beistelltisch-04.JPG.scaled1000-729726.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658919327308653042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz7w0yltVXUUBzrZeX-QpqHTw73JMnvHH2FBPXbLvpLUSdDyjOlVn3r00SPR-xmYEoRcjc1jV44PKYHuz_1jJWbzguaWL3rN76KhzkMuztWrmTVVbb2vZAxfKRbdKrJ0SahJjpCkQHzuPo/s640/beistelltisch-04.JPG.scaled1000-729726.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2uF3AWDHzPqMylSL00wF0U-Ev3oGhJd-zJyKy7NJhZnJda35ziAQopSgINCTu8YC9Kku4yINvsCrqVWmUdbh3hDCFHzL7LdemxgytM3Ys0E8sKwx3Y6uMv8VQuyV1986itm4DFpxoVOWg/s1600/beistelltisch-06.JPG.scaled1000-730366.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658919332124232226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2uF3AWDHzPqMylSL00wF0U-Ev3oGhJd-zJyKy7NJhZnJda35ziAQopSgINCTu8YC9Kku4yINvsCrqVWmUdbh3hDCFHzL7LdemxgytM3Ys0E8sKwx3Y6uMv8VQuyV1986itm4DFpxoVOWg/s640/beistelltisch-06.JPG.scaled1000-730366.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />See more of the <a href="http://storbeck.me/ikeahack-nachttisch">Oddvar bedside table</a>. <br /><br />~ Martin Storbeck, B�blingen, Germany

When I finished my countertops with Numerar oak, I decided to make use of the cutoff to make a little wall-mounted table in the corner behind the fridge. The top is attached to the wall with an aluminium L-profile and supported with two Vika Kaj telescoping legs. Because I mounted this on the same height as my countertops, I got an Oddvar bar stool and shortened the legs to fit the height of my "table".<br /><br />~ Eli, Belgium

Looking around ikea, I discovered the ODDVAR stool, which was the perfect height (and price). I felt the unfinished pine was a bit dull, but I didn't want to stain/paint it either. I had heard of wood burning and decided to try it out.  <br /><br />Here's what you'll need: <br /><br />ODDVAR stool <br />propane torch (make sure to get a thin canister so it's easier to hold) <br />Medium grain sandpaper <br />Fine grain sandpaper <br />polyurethane <br /><br /><b>Directions: </b><br /><br />1. Assemble the stool. <br />2. Using the medium grain sandpaper, gently sand the entire piece. This helps with the buring process. <br />3. *use extreme caution- and perform these steps outside!* Now light the blowtorch. Barely turn the gas on, you don't want a fireball! Adjust the flame till it's about 2 inches long. <br />4. Go to town on the stool. Try to keep the flame moving for even burning. Keep in mind that you will sand off a bit of the color, so it will end up lighter as a finished product. NOTE: some sap may work its way out of the wood and flame up for a bit - particularly around the knots. <br />5. After desired color has been achieved, re-sand the stool with the medium grain to remove soot and excess char. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsPpXAAwujTpJITSOx_FaZNQUMyhGczl8wGISs2DKiyMQoQsi6h-WuR-9hZ7Agtn5eRp0rfnF_XDl_zNMPOA5QlryAoEQ_OT2MbttmKoLqEjICBbEjeYoi6CKj4h3pUY58X7O8VVy7yyR7/s1600/Table2-708046.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481184043335182370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsPpXAAwujTpJITSOx_FaZNQUMyhGczl8wGISs2DKiyMQoQsi6h-WuR-9hZ7Agtn5eRp0rfnF_XDl_zNMPOA5QlryAoEQ_OT2MbttmKoLqEjICBbEjeYoi6CKj4h3pUY58X7O8VVy7yyR7/s400/Table2-708046.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />6. Make sure to remove any dust left from the sanding. At this point I simply added a coat of polyurethane. However, if you would like to stain the piece, here is where you would do it(before the polyurethane). Allow to dry 2-3 hours. <br />7. Using the fine grain sandpaper, gently sand the stool again. NOTE: it's best to use a face mask, as polyurethane contains toxic elements not good for inhalation! <br />8. Add a final coat of polyurethane and allow to dry.<br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_61B_KMNLawvIfx65cECU3GYhmnZ7h1pGRCcQdMJpuRJSGSiZr-2fHVXSsoYnAzSdToJaTwstM4FmItyC2f-TQYO9konF8qr1ay3wozRI_8WfSbvcHtx5r5fQBl46djajen_UwHAPnK5o/s1600/Table1-706899.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481184034383508994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_61B_KMNLawvIfx65cECU3GYhmnZ7h1pGRCcQdMJpuRJSGSiZr-2fHVXSsoYnAzSdToJaTwstM4FmItyC2f-TQYO9konF8qr1ay3wozRI_8WfSbvcHtx5r5fQBl46djajen_UwHAPnK5o/s400/Table1-706899.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />~ Amanda B.
