I need something flat. Because using sheetrock makes a lot of dust I didn't use them. <br /><br />I found Ikea lack table would be great stuff to put on the ceiling :)<br /><br />Here are step by step instructions: <br /><br />I used one 55x55 Lack table as a base, and 78x78 as the visible part. <br /><br />1. Set up small table over the big one. Please make sure it is centered. Glue them together. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5VfT7sa8slbN29VBxsqdcqGfPpP2ClslG9MbvBIuJ2XlW-InidY9dqwz10ZfwlU1zNCe4y99YyS2vLTuXHl-KMw5-zhdqM5NB2zmiHsNCZq7tsLXTJVQAHEXQqs9dpz2tnnPyEUK484/s1600/IMAG0025-732378.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630580721523788338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5VfT7sa8slbN29VBxsqdcqGfPpP2ClslG9MbvBIuJ2XlW-InidY9dqwz10ZfwlU1zNCe4y99YyS2vLTuXHl-KMw5-zhdqM5NB2zmiHsNCZq7tsLXTJVQAHEXQqs9dpz2tnnPyEUK484/s640/IMAG0025-732378.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9wuYVRqcPdplam2nsFrVm-HhvzoRKXQ-9GIlDfz_t76iW_JE-vetbZOPZiPjpFYVKqgemnp76s9Ma4dz8tk0YI1oW9qiQrzYFY4-oI306zl3loWAGF7gchZiti3EYYIoH6AfzhMTPtM/s1600/IMAG0026-735359.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630580734312238642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9wuYVRqcPdplam2nsFrVm-HhvzoRKXQ-9GIlDfz_t76iW_JE-vetbZOPZiPjpFYVKqgemnp76s9Ma4dz8tk0YI1oW9qiQrzYFY4-oI306zl3loWAGF7gchZiti3EYYIoH6AfzhMTPtM/s640/IMAG0026-735359.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />2. Make 4 holes for GU10 frames (or more if you want), but those 4 are needed to mount lamp to the ceiling. You need to make them in both tables <br /><br />Make one hole on the center of the top table - this will be the place to connect all cables to the ceiling wires. <br /><br />3. I put up led RGB tape to make some light while watching tv on the projected screen, this light is very delicate, ideal to see eg bottle of beer :) <br /><br />4. Put some metal bindings inside the top tables (smaller one), look into the pictures. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiK38n6jzmjl-ofgkZKi1_UggJIx2Dp1xvmkJ7gu2mSJD0z3RYpbV12_MqvWIr2VrDcvwLbKk0l71OSDy7efdw8Lg22xjFUAHSLBWH7Zgi-cwr9GY0tq-Ib2ZiQMlwSlTPTpoevLN3Qw/s1600/IMAG0028-737910.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630580747679867314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiK38n6jzmjl-ofgkZKi1_UggJIx2Dp1xvmkJ7gu2mSJD0z3RYpbV12_MqvWIr2VrDcvwLbKk0l71OSDy7efdw8Lg22xjFUAHSLBWH7Zgi-cwr9GY0tq-Ib2ZiQMlwSlTPTpoevLN3Qw/s640/IMAG0028-737910.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkH_F7NZ-wExHQSqHwYTlfq5XgGCIiONm6_n2yUHNC1tUr8SZlNVeRKYpyqO4g1hWW2z9uC28yqI3r1Mk_nAsYsZ0VGHLbgbOXHpEkjCxC4o3-qRiv78RmtQdy6INUxikxyzoJClIhE8M/s1600/IMAG0034-740187.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630580755981550962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkH_F7NZ-wExHQSqHwYTlfq5XgGCIiONm6_n2yUHNC1tUr8SZlNVeRKYpyqO4g1hWW2z9uC28yqI3r1Mk_nAsYsZ0VGHLbgbOXHpEkjCxC4o3-qRiv78RmtQdy6INUxikxyzoJClIhE8M/s640/IMAG0034-740187.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />5. Make internal connections, just drop out some paper from inside - this can be done using some long knife. <br /><br />6. Screw whole table to the ceiling and connect it. I screw the 2 long screws to the first metal binding, so the lamp was curved a little bit from the ceiling allowing me make connections. <br /><br />7. Because Lack furniture are not painted but there is foil on them they are not white enough. I painted it using same paint used for ceiling.<br /><br />See more photos of the <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/jzyglowicz/LACKLamp">Lack lamp</a>. <br /><br />~ wiking, Poland

We had a less than 8' wall to use and purchased two islands. We left one island full size and, to fit the wall, on the second island we carefully measured and cut about a foot off the length of the butcher-block top as well as all the supporting pieces of the two long sides. We also cut four inches off the four legs because I'm way shorter than my husband. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcuEiygyZxoLd7oOJRtpnCvzh3esc3MNksFaEUx2RTyGh_oE3ykPZi4tbK1NgmWtXXOefWjY4JbDXfLnZejZm5HabjjEFfa9qvt3YR6RvECAqBi0FHN_6Y_NjsMrL_tITaBFczaVWA53k/s1600/Ikea+resize+one-742573.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630453198952977122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcuEiygyZxoLd7oOJRtpnCvzh3esc3MNksFaEUx2RTyGh_oE3ykPZi4tbK1NgmWtXXOefWjY4JbDXfLnZejZm5HabjjEFfa9qvt3YR6RvECAqBi0FHN_6Y_NjsMrL_tITaBFczaVWA53k/s640/Ikea+resize+one-742573.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVssADqR-9bNXQBIpd-DkCE8gANBhDzJzdy-l9umJ1zMv5FdmYJhdHifpL8Cl8mMMXwETn6mMrZDRVf5qeKLbg0OcChWUD4n45ihufIH3gZ6OeqvCDTl6dHPbwEVJsrh87GnrG6z6etRg/s1600/Ikea+resize+two-743442.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630453204898965042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVssADqR-9bNXQBIpd-DkCE8gANBhDzJzdy-l9umJ1zMv5FdmYJhdHifpL8Cl8mMMXwETn6mMrZDRVf5qeKLbg0OcChWUD4n45ihufIH3gZ6OeqvCDTl6dHPbwEVJsrh87GnrG6z6etRg/s640/Ikea+resize+two-743442.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Az3HcYW6IlET5NahKn-8D909fBuKN7zKa9X0yUNIuvBcESbH_D8VWdn9hmzqZ-i5bPxVAboA3r5K7TBaB0V1F4ToluHEnkf52zoRNk0GKBpLC8YJ-MYMWbtmQr1VMcq9jV0LZPphwBQ/s1600/Ikea+resize+three-744973.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630453213814317586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Az3HcYW6IlET5NahKn-8D909fBuKN7zKa9X0yUNIuvBcESbH_D8VWdn9hmzqZ-i5bPxVAboA3r5K7TBaB0V1F4ToluHEnkf52zoRNk0GKBpLC8YJ-MYMWbtmQr1VMcq9jV0LZPphwBQ/s640/Ikea+resize+three-744973.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />We had to VERY carefully measure and re-drill all the holes for bolts, etc. on the new, cut, ends of the support pieces. We also had to cut an even amount from either end of the lattice shelf that sits below. The legs had to be routered off at the bottom so the little aluminum cuffs would slide on. We took our time and it worked out well. To seal the vanities, we added five coats of Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish from Home Depot. We cut drain and faucet holes in the tops according to diagrams included with the sinks and we added big baskets underneath to hold our stuff. <br /><br />~ Gary and Linda, Rowlett, Texas

I tried setting up a wardrobe, but they simply dumped their items in front of the wardrobe. (BTW, I have good kids. They're just happy to be home from school.) Our local IKEA had Benno t.v. benches on sale for 29 Euro and an idea was born. If the back is strong enough to hold a flat screen television, it will surely hold three back packs and jackets. Plus, for that price, I had nothing to lose trying to create a hallway bench/storage system.. I also bought Vippa wall hooks because they seemed the sturdiest. <br /><br />Step 1: Assemble Benno t.v. bench. <br />Step 2: The back of the stand is three panels. Install one Vippa per panel. Each panel is approximately 16" wide, so I sited the location for each hook 8" from the edge on the outside panels then found the middle of the center panel (8" mark). We used a laser level to them line up, but used that mostly because we like to mess around with the laser. I didn't bother to place anything over the hole in the middle panel since it will be covered by a book bag/jacket, but I may change my mind later. <br /><br />I put hat/gloves/mittens/scarves in the drawers below - one side for boys, one side for girls. I didn't install the shelves to make more room in the drawers. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ40LiCg9q7sToaOO2D_MAKbUseIg4RAX2VMYf98GYTCGvgYtdBE_E6HXNaEHpajU_T-AWRD9ewplKPlew0E-ZhpqUKY3oDgEQcAaElbSyvthKuL6M8KTSSidfVz3l-zVku1VlRBUPa-4/s1600/IMG_2234-756135.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630396570919066562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ40LiCg9q7sToaOO2D_MAKbUseIg4RAX2VMYf98GYTCGvgYtdBE_E6HXNaEHpajU_T-AWRD9ewplKPlew0E-ZhpqUKY3oDgEQcAaElbSyvthKuL6M8KTSSidfVz3l-zVku1VlRBUPa-4/s640/IMG_2234-756135.JPG" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4JkjSt-saAFtLhaSc_HCwkBLEIOlTMKx3ME1kRBVYfJjK-lY_UttVAIcXPMJ7v3Cj52Dq-KXm8eurAz6ch1u_OygiL-oQk8oKQy0R0bcDNUDIgjIQnuYsKeTCT9BeCaVA1PG-_4EcB4/s1600/IMG_2233-758569.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630396579677838274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4JkjSt-saAFtLhaSc_HCwkBLEIOlTMKx3ME1kRBVYfJjK-lY_UttVAIcXPMJ7v3Cj52Dq-KXm8eurAz6ch1u_OygiL-oQk8oKQy0R0bcDNUDIgjIQnuYsKeTCT9BeCaVA1PG-_4EcB4/s640/IMG_2233-758569.JPG" width="450" /></a></div><br />Future hack ideas: 1) Now I'm trying to think of a way to hack the sides and back of the drawers to make them as tall as the drawer face. Any ideas as to how to do that out there in IKEA Hacker land? <br /><br />2) I may have a cushion made for the bench part. I like the idea that if they don't hang up their book bags, they may at least throw it on the bench. I don't want to discourage that. <br /><br />3) I originally bought two Benno since they were so cheap. But since they were an impulse buy, I hadn't actually measured the front hall space. Two won't fit side by side at our place. If your hallway has the space, having two side by side should work. It looks wicked cool in my head, anyway. <br /><br />4) I think I'm going to get an etched glass kit from the craft store and decorate the glass portion of the drawers. I'll post an update if that works out.<br /><br />~ Tracy Lee, Vicenza, Italia

As my collection is sorted alphabetically, I used some magnetic letters to mark the boards.<br /><br />~ Thomas, Koblenz, Germany

I purchased a large bulk of it on Etsy.com for under $100 since we don't get it naturally here in S. Florida <br /><br />Step 3- purchase a 1/4" thick sheet of ply wood and have it pre-cut and measured in the store to a 35" square. <br /><br />Step 4- take a compass and measure a 34" circle around your piece of drift wood. <br /><br />Step 5- take your jig saw and carefully cut your circle. It's OK if it's not perfect since this is simply used to anchor the drift wood. <br /><br />Step 6- glue your Kolja mirror to your ply wood with strong construction adhesive. Let sit 24 hours min. <br /><br />Step 7- Lay your drift wood pieces out and start to form a frame with them around the ply wood edge and secure with your hot glue gun, layer upon layer. <br /><br />Step 8- Optional* nail your drift wood to the ply wood just in case the glue doesn't hold. <br /><br />Step 9- get a heavy duty nail hanging kit and secure to the back of your play wood <br /><br />Step 10- hang and wait for all your friends to shower you with compliments:) <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkk0ekx7Vouc2D9vsnXfewA_8wC3pP0_CiC8fGfKcMCLhPtQVaZ0bqMJMidj-Ki6M5mtruX0bAbBS04rcbuNzh_z1mfhPTZYyIQqonurqtmqtYkBrCBuW66sirURq5sPX1-8qWJe5VCM/s1600/ikea+hack+drift+wood+mirror+2-789970.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629237070338847474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkk0ekx7Vouc2D9vsnXfewA_8wC3pP0_CiC8fGfKcMCLhPtQVaZ0bqMJMidj-Ki6M5mtruX0bAbBS04rcbuNzh_z1mfhPTZYyIQqonurqtmqtYkBrCBuW66sirURq5sPX1-8qWJe5VCM/s640/ikea+hack+drift+wood+mirror+2-789970.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />See more of the <a href="http://thecubaninmycoffee.blogspot.com/2011/06/diy-drift-wood-mirrorfinally.html">drift wood Kolja mirror</a>. <br /><br />~ thecubaninmycoffee, Miami, FL
