If those units are 39 1/4 inches wide, they're Pax Ikea cabinets. Doors can be replaced for $30-110 each...and some of them are on sale now!

All Ikea children's products (regardless of country they're made for) go through product safety checks 3 times before a prototype is even made. Then they go through 2 more at each stage of moving t...

I think you have great pieces, esp under the windows! Try painting the long dining room wall the same color you have on the fireplace wall and adding a larger chandelier over the table (a big oran...

I don't get the anti-Ikea bias against all the other big chain bi box stores. Yes, I agree small and local is better but in the world market today, not feasible. (stepping onto soapbox-sorry) Just...

Move the inspiration board to the left and center if over the desk, then hang your new shelf just above the last "step" in your board.

I like a nice cool taupe color with chocolate brown towels and accent towels to match the sink.

One very easy and important thing! The opening in the built-ins you're keeping should have a counter top installed that extends out about 4". Round the edges so you don't wack yourself and you have...

Chickens are great! As long as your neighbors don't build their coop at the property line 6 feet from your bedroom window. Chickens cluck starting at dawn...talk about an annoying wakeup call when ...

It's both! If it helps get kids to eat cauliflower, great! And it's right up Disney's alley; anyone old enough to remember all their wartime cartoons from the 40's and 50's?

Something no one will tell you to ask: check the health of the major players in this game before setting the escrow date. We asked for 6 weeks since we were closing over Christmas but only got 30 ...

uhm, Billy shelves still ARE covered in real wood veneer.

I guess I just don't get the big deal here. My husband and I make $51,000.00 per year. That seems like a lot for 2 people and a dog until you factor in that we live in San Francisco! But we ...

can you fence it off somehow? Even a four or five inch tall barrier around the edge would help keep people off. I know it's in an entry way, but that's the best thing I can think of. ...

Peppermint extract wiped around the door/window jams and other points of entrance also works...and smells nice and fresh, too! Dab a bit on a cotton ball and go to town, the ants run like heck....t...

That looks like 2 barnslig kids rugs from Ikea. I don't think they did more than tack the down to the stairs.

I can't imagine using these....though I used to work for a gentleman who not only asked me to "pretty up" his delivered floral arrangements but also paid me to boil eggs for him. He and his daught...

Isn't Pax a great system?

Check this out for all those whose apartment/hoa's won't permit fabric. Same purpose, no one can complain when it looks like ivy or morning glory plants. We're a first floor unit, so I don't need...

Floor to ceiling, for certain. Then add a large decorative item or picture above the doors to draw the eye up and show off the height of the room.

It's an old Ikea chair from about four years ago. Chair has since come in leopard print and various solids.
