Edin is right. I am a huge IKEAfan. I have an IKEA kitchen, plus my bedroom has both Pax and Expedit. I know all the shortcuts through the store. Until I got my Broyhill Brasilia credenza, I had a Besta Burs TV stand. There is no way that I would be snobby about IKEA. But these posts are just boring. They seem to be filler for bloggers who haven't the time or energy to seek out good design articles or really creative hacks, of which there are plenty. I hope that the bloggers think that giving them feedback is a good thing. Before & After: IKEA Malm Gets an Upholstered Ombre Makeover IKEA Hackers |

At first, I played with it a lot because it was pretty cool and different. Not so much now that I had my Nook rooted (whatever that means) and can now play with all the free cool Android apps on that. When I need computing power, it really isn't all that great either. So I go to my little 15" Thinkpad laptop. Reader Survey: How Often Do You Use Your iPad? |

Excellent! I love clean sleek modern spaces, free of clutter and mess. To me that's personal. Especially since so few people can pull it off. Bravo! Before & After: Bachelor Pad Drab to Penthouse Fab |

It isn't a hack, it's a paint job. And not a very creative one. Nothing else about it's shape, size, or use is changed. That isn't a snark; it's a fact. Before & After: IKEA LÄTT Hack Chris Loves Julia |

Hanging a heavy object from a string is called a plumb bob and dates back to the Egyptians. And is a fantastic free idea that can be used for any length. Plus, it's free. A spirit level is accurate only to the length of the level. And every time you move it, you introduce inaccuracy. If money is no object, a laser level is a good bet. But, nothing beats a good "stand back and look." Most houses are not plumb and level. Things hung perfectly level will appear off kilter to the eye if the ceiling is not level or a wall is canted.

You did a lovely job. I wish more people would stop color coding their kids. I starts a pattern of gender distinction that only restricts their behavior and opportunities later in life. Genevieve Goes Gender-Neutral My Room |

Not everything old is of "historical value." Sometimes, old and ugly is just old and ugly. And ugly needs to be wiped out where ever it occurs.... This makeover, however, is pretty and pretty sweet. Before & After: IKEA Trondheim Madeover With O'verlays The Design Pages |

Adding to K2YHE's comment. If you must use a bar use one specially formulated to not leave residue. Zest and Dove are two of the most widely available in the US and Canada. But liquid bath products really are your best bet. Also invest in a handheld and spray down the shower walls, glass or curtain after every shower. If you have glass, rain-x will eliminate spotting.
