I had an old range hood for the ventilation part, I just needed a big enough (and deep enough) space to put it in. And that's why the Billy in the back is 39 centimeters deep. Not deep enough for a spray booth, but I had a cunning plan...  <br /><br />The Billy was put together by first ritually setting fire to the plans, to appease the Nordic Gods of Hacking. Then put the Billy together with just the top and bottom shelves installed. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCNnjhQKhd4RdyCXlh0UBM3ZzFe0ghcBo8D1eolUeBvRT0Gcs9af_oCZ2_G2cvLtQwkaZqagG0Snanibzp6I4QoyN5zxwL34jt1J1-R0e7nFhaxlp5sY-I1FSNce7WGHFhLBVSzUF_1gb/s1600/cabine04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCNnjhQKhd4RdyCXlh0UBM3ZzFe0ghcBo8D1eolUeBvRT0Gcs9af_oCZ2_G2cvLtQwkaZqagG0Snanibzp6I4QoyN5zxwL34jt1J1-R0e7nFhaxlp5sY-I1FSNce7WGHFhLBVSzUF_1gb/s640/cabine04.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Then install two shelves with screws and glue, on at just under worktop height, the other about 64 centimeters above that. Make sure all the spaces are straight and even, because later this becomes the place we put the inner "box". <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5q7UQA0rQX9VIegX_hGOs_kKcsPX8mKSOlG2cbcjgNK54D8d9Kj19tu6mIlS_9F-Q6Bl_KkfgE64tQq0mGHbf2nSoRdOkU4IJxCIFKsHTIz4ZD2OaP64alFHDHGPMTsB9s6ghZ7Z5v695/s1600/cabine02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5q7UQA0rQX9VIegX_hGOs_kKcsPX8mKSOlG2cbcjgNK54D8d9Kj19tu6mIlS_9F-Q6Bl_KkfgE64tQq0mGHbf2nSoRdOkU4IJxCIFKsHTIz4ZD2OaP64alFHDHGPMTsB9s6ghZ7Z5v695/s640/cabine02.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />A couple of strips of MDF narrow the left-over space from 80 centimeters to 60 centimeters, just wide enough to hold the range hood. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhce_KPvpLiXOnVjD_lWstHUTUpKoUvDlXdKHQrdDlA33HSd8NOB16Idu2BxFJ-4fjr5xHMoIyB2wxVx9haGkDSE9uEV7PvI7Mn_PB8U6U3brwr2hans67bSdpwoK9YK2NyQWlf9lhy8GMM/s1600/cabine03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhce_KPvpLiXOnVjD_lWstHUTUpKoUvDlXdKHQrdDlA33HSd8NOB16Idu2BxFJ-4fjr5xHMoIyB2wxVx9haGkDSE9uEV7PvI7Mn_PB8U6U3brwr2hans67bSdpwoK9YK2NyQWlf9lhy8GMM/s640/cabine03.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Billy is shocked! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Qlr_7r0cy1uqlODJinRFJNHSihGLyUbkpNH0MSOje1oo9xc5I0FrLbUV00AfENTIPHyeqP0sYsWMgwDXJZJn6ciR0DkwzrOWR0B0FPL7LVkWXe8kZ7W52BDLAlolMuwURPHY9AYAxGaQ/s1600/shocked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Qlr_7r0cy1uqlODJinRFJNHSihGLyUbkpNH0MSOje1oo9xc5I0FrLbUV00AfENTIPHyeqP0sYsWMgwDXJZJn6ciR0DkwzrOWR0B0FPL7LVkWXe8kZ7W52BDLAlolMuwURPHY9AYAxGaQ/s640/shocked.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />I made an inner box using a pair of Billy shelves and two pieces of Trespa, which is a building material like plastic, but harder.

The flooring is made to resemble old, rough-cut barn wood, but is much more heat and scratch resistant.  I painted all the pieces a new light gray color, and sealed them with polyurethane.  The new top is mounted to the frame using the same method as the old top. <br /><br />I've received a lot of compliments on the hack and nobody believes me when I tell them it's mainly IKEA furniture!<br /><br />~ Taylor, Atlanta, GA

The basket holds the surge protector, and cable splitters.

I saw similiar hacks on this site and was inspired to combine them into one super hack! <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />First - I assembled the Expedit bookshelf - leaving off the top panel and attaching castors to the bottom panel.  Note: it's important to use good quality rubber castors given how much pushing, pulling and shoving this island endures. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpd1BlV4xqWqY3Qvnte_BhUlRZIbgeFiPsH32vY1t7m7D4nMSlwM5H46oncpAPUSdkoXl4VsCLyeLo_vFWh7pUSLvuu8qk0ZSKDhDiKzfhkkseJoZ_r5Zv9R56wCu0HATS5iE1xuS8CDub/s1600/rsz_1img_8542-720193.jpg"><img alt="Expedit Rolling Kitchen Island" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691269413566419938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpd1BlV4xqWqY3Qvnte_BhUlRZIbgeFiPsH32vY1t7m7D4nMSlwM5H46oncpAPUSdkoXl4VsCLyeLo_vFWh7pUSLvuu8qk0ZSKDhDiKzfhkkseJoZ_r5Zv9R56wCu0HATS5iE1xuS8CDub/s640/rsz_1img_8542-720193.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Second - I cut the Lagan countertop to the desired dimensions (just overhanging the front and back of the shelf and giving a more generous 2.5" overhang on either side.) Because the Expedit panels are hollow fiberboard I opted to secure the countertop with multiple small brackets.  The easiest way to do this is to lay the countertop over the shelf and draw the lines of the shelf panels on the underside of the countertop.  Then flip over the countertop and secure the brackets.  Flip it back over and secure the brackets to the side and centre panels. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrLwuJC-kqoktj2vEINI5gnE6bJv_dMAvR8ZuvuM-3JPSvVMNMLHs2ZrXuofzbiJmRnFSo1dKzpepwNA0V4T4rK83soZrk0Xm_FxL9YtrhE7oiltn6sq0ePRia8JO7toJFOh6pWbHzvYjo/s1600/IMG_8559-721210.jpg"><img alt="Expedit Rolling Kitchen Island" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691269416910628850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrLwuJC-kqoktj2vEINI5gnE6bJv_dMAvR8ZuvuM-3JPSvVMNMLHs2ZrXuofzbiJmRnFSo1dKzpepwNA0V4T4rK83soZrk0Xm_FxL9YtrhE7oiltn6sq0ePRia8JO7toJFOh6pWbHzvYjo/s640/IMG_8559-721210.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Third - I cut a backer panel out of 1/8" thk. primed MDF and secured it to the back of the shelf with finishing nails.  This keeps the baskets in place and keeps them from getting kicked from people sitting at the island chairs. <br /><br />Fourth - I cut the Lagan countertop to create an L-shape and secured to the wall (be sure to find the studs!) with large L-brackets. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDihYSxtiQ11GbDKew-oMcuuwWCc_5mIA10LW99t-uAAeeLeE4ybmYAIk1jTelnQD1aZdWO2xkQhvaiIGgAk57WEtnjueSZcDoS0qkYNFEbg0O8i0PQleIFToQd7AMOiEospLfAqXBqx6g/s1600/IMG_8560-722495.jpg"><img alt="Expedit Rolling Kitchen Island" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691269422846844274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDihYSxtiQ11GbDKew-oMcuuwWCc_5mIA10LW99t-uAAeeLeE4ybmYAIk1jTelnQD1aZdWO2xkQhvaiIGgAk57WEtnjueSZcDoS0qkYNFEbg0O8i0PQleIFToQd7AMOiEospLfAqXBqx6g/s640/IMG_8560-722495.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Fifth - I cut a 6" x 6" opening in the countertop to sit above the upper right basket.  The basket is fit with a garbage bin for easy disposal. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSAdDLuqODKXNl7E7bwg_1pJon2XGpuKvLz6BkZUr_dzFMzbWasnPmtZWNdmtD9HQNAnW-HKnclowYg0DJqLn85a84Bm4MivqZfJcWMDLWXB8Rc5ynTXjpyZX33jR2DlE8sW7FwsmL-546/s1600/photo1-724575.JPG"><img alt="Expedit Rolling Kitchen Island" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691269430605132610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSAdDLuqODKXNl7E7bwg_1pJon2XGpuKvLz6BkZUr_dzFMzbWasnPmtZWNdmtD9HQNAnW-HKnclowYg0DJqLn85a84Bm4MivqZfJcWMDLWXB8Rc5ynTXjpyZX33jR2DlE8sW7FwsmL-546/s640/photo1-724575.JPG" width="450" /></a></div><br />And there you have it - a kitchen island that gives seating, storage and flexibility!<br /><br />~ Rebecca, Toronto, Ontario

Then lay the table top, foam side down, on your carpet remnant. Pull the carpet up around all sides of the table top to ensure you have enough to cover it all the way and staple it underneath. This was kind of the hard part because we had to determine how to leave the table leg brackets open to screw the legs in to them. We determined it was best to cut the square out of the carpet and attach around the brackets. <br /><br />Once you are able to get the carpet pulled around the table top and stapled in place, it will look something like this.<br /><br />While one of you is working on dealing with the table top, the other can work on staining the legs - I used 3 coats to get the desired color to coordinate with our living room wooden furniture. <br /><br />In the end, you'll have something that your little fuzzy ones will love!

I have ADHD, which makes digging through drawers, baskets, and piles a nightmare, and I have to compete for one of two bathroom vanities: my husband shaves in the en suite bath while my daughter primps in the other. Our condo is tiny and our bathrooms are tinier... no room to share!  <br /><br />I often forgo 'beauty' altogether instead of digging through random shoe boxes for cosmetics while looking at myself in the next-best mirror (which is in the kitchen).  <br /><br />[I do have a proper dressing table. It was repurposed into a aquarium stand for our turtle long ago. Heh. It's not IKEA or I'd tell you more.] <br /><br />My ADHD coach/organizer has been encouraging me to use vertical storage wherever possible. I tend to only use regularly the things I can actually see; vertical organization prevents the piling-up that makes my needed items go out-of-sight-out-of-mind. Every object needs a specific home. A home that I can *see* into. No doors, drawers, boxes, baskets, or cabinets. <br /><br />But how can vertical organization work for a dressing table? <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCezbzIZ81P365Kq-oxHAAaIuHwloeZ-JGgwzU1ZyDMsyRW51hsc8JVDOf9N8FpY-32OKKzCwR7zVRGSlHB5hFscmbuYHgdf3Yci2O2vjvUrNiSEYkSxB72Crp8MojW8f835ggwgYER7Lw/s1600/IMG_1200-711385.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691092851961978130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCezbzIZ81P365Kq-oxHAAaIuHwloeZ-JGgwzU1ZyDMsyRW51hsc8JVDOf9N8FpY-32OKKzCwR7zVRGSlHB5hFscmbuYHgdf3Yci2O2vjvUrNiSEYkSxB72Crp8MojW8f835ggwgYER7Lw/s640/IMG_1200-711385.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fASuTzRduDJ-1S5gS0dckhpRsF6DxyNwrlhrwcPwKjBUHFWGJsZUNxjxIYxIgHjIPmS6MckZcfZa3o1oyHqDLjqwJeFTDwVXcTDnBjeIe-Ae2rMNRR3kNtOE5Rfmtyo9ajAXpzThs8G5/s1600/IMG_1203-713753.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691092860376567650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fASuTzRduDJ-1S5gS0dckhpRsF6DxyNwrlhrwcPwKjBUHFWGJsZUNxjxIYxIgHjIPmS6MckZcfZa3o1oyHqDLjqwJeFTDwVXcTDnBjeIe-Ae2rMNRR3kNtOE5Rfmtyo9ajAXpzThs8G5/s640/IMG_1203-713753.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />IKEA to the rescue! I decided to use GRUNDTAL as the solution. I had already tried some BYGEL rails and buckets for the wall just above the commode and it's really cut down on the bathroom clutter. GRUNDTAL is nicer, and this wall is visible from my bed.  <br /><br />I had intended to buy a picture shelf to set items currently in use, but I saw the NORBERG table in the IKEA showroom and instantly knew that I could give it a dual purpose on a currently wasted bedroom wall, conveniently near the en suite bath. <br /><br />My husband hung the NORBERG at "pub/bar table level" (get "molly" bolts if you can't attach to at least two studs). Then he hung the GRUNDTAL rail high enough to allow for the stored items to hang underneath. <br /><br />I used the double-sided tape that was supplied with the LOTS mirrors to affix a LOTS tile to the SPONTAN board. I suggest marking the placement of the mirror on the board and of the board on the wall before making the mirror permanent!  <br /><br />I prefer to apply make-up standing up and very close to the mirror (yay, myopia!) so I have it placed pretty highly on the wall. One could easily lower the whole shebang and use a stool or chair of regular height. I actually decided on my mirror height by using a dry erase marker to draw a 12 X 12 square (LOTS size) around my face in my full length mirror and then measuring from the floor to the square. <br /><br />I used GRUNDTAL doo-dads to finish it out: <br /><br />I used one S-hook and a large binder clip to hang the hairdryer, curling iron, and straightening iron by their cords. (By the way, I also looped the cords through the NORBERG assembly to keep them out of sight. I had to momentarily un-assemble the arm, pull the cords through, and pop it back in. It was well worth the 90 seconds it took.) <br /><br />S-hooks are also holding my brush, elastics, rings, and earrings. I hung my necklaces, bracelets, and my watch directly to the rail. <br /><br />The cutlery buckets are holding skin care products and make-up brushes/pencils. I love this because I can see what I've got quite easily and there isn't a risk of knocking over a cup of brushes in my pre-caffeinated stupor. <br /><br />The magnetic spice jars are fabulous. I can see what's in there without any digging and I've got my cosmetics organized by the order in which I apply them. I have make-up on one side and skin/hair on the other. Brilliant. <br /><br />The bonus feature might be my favorite... when the table leaf is up, I've got a nice place to pull up the barstool and set my laptop. Dual use of furniture in a tiny condo is always an epic win. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheGFYaRurfV6vyBkbsSqd46tXZkwiqGHe2Q1mj0fYw-dpKuLIgmqls02Uj3oPORmHJ4m3ep6iTY653TPmOvaQTrKvn-dZ_1vvNuAe5lO_1hQgFuh3XclTUjbhomeUxzBqZQolTnvukjkNM/s1600/IMG_1198-714324.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691092865264044754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheGFYaRurfV6vyBkbsSqd46tXZkwiqGHe2Q1mj0fYw-dpKuLIgmqls02Uj3oPORmHJ4m3ep6iTY653TPmOvaQTrKvn-dZ_1vvNuAe5lO_1hQgFuh3XclTUjbhomeUxzBqZQolTnvukjkNM/s640/IMG_1198-714324.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />Thoughts after completion: I wish I had used the longer GRUNDTAL rail. I used the 30.5" length which lines up nearly exactly with the NORBERG. Overhang on either side would have been nice. I need another cutlery caddy or two. A reason for a trip back...<br /><br />~ Shannon, Austin, Texas
