IKEA Locations

Heya all! I recently was able to move into this new space! But most of my stuff is in totes or on the floor so I really want to make the most of my space without making it seem cluttered. While I've been doing my research into IKEA (or other affordable options) furniture, it's a little bit overwhelming. For the style, I think some sort of minimalistic design with a splash of color, just so it looks crisp and clean. Sometimes I stream and the camera looks towards the window area so I'm taking into mind what would make a good background. But still, the main thing is just more storage and from Daniel's videos, I'm already utilizing under bed storage too. Any help is...

Hi! My son (6) loves to hide in small spaces. He really loves it when he’s having big feelings. I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate some safe spaces throughout the house. Maybe convert a chest or something into a secret spot for him. Have any of y’all made something similar or altered furniture for this? I’ve done a hidden litter box IKEA hack before. It’s just a little different when it’s a 30-40lb kiddo v. a cat’s poop palace. Thanks!

**Preface** I don't often write reviews, but I felt like this would be worthwhile since there's so little info out there on this company.  I didn't receive any compensation for this, nor do I have any type of stake in the company or its owners.  I'm just a guy who really enjoys his table. **Background** Our family had been using a 1st generation Allplay Jasper for several years.  While it did its job of keeping heavy setup games ready to play in the vault while allowing us to have dinner on the toppers, it left a lot to be desired.  Our two year old recently started drinking out of open cups leading to spills on a near daily basis.  This quickly led to slightly ...

TL;DR: I learned a lot of hard lessons doing this the first time, was extra meticulous the second time around and everything was much better, but after 2 months curing, any items, heavy or light, still stick slightly to paint, even after short periods. I painted some IKEA shelves for my office and was absolutely meticulous about how I prepared everything: * I sanded very thoroughly * tack clothed the surface before any application * had a temp/humidity sensor in the finished, insulated garage and only painted on days above 60F and only when around 50% relative humidity, as read by sensor inside garage about 2ft from my working location * used a pumpless spray gun (Graco TruCoat 360) * was ...

Me and my two cats moved to our new place 7 months ago after I walked away from a miserable marriage. This is what starting over looks like. I'm alone again for the first time in over a decade. Downsizing from 1850 sq feet to 550 forced me to remember which of my possessions mean the most so I PURGED, and am remembering why I love not being surrounded by a ton of meaningless possessions. It's a rental, so I haven't done much yet/can't do anything too drastic. But it's a start. Most of my furniture and decor is yard sale/thrift store treasures. This apartment complex is a vintage 1959 sanctuary. Original wood floors and all. Please critique with love.

Hi everyone! I recently moved to a new place and I’m in the middle of a big transition for my living room setup. I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially from those who moved from traditional Hi-Fi towers to active studio monitors in a living room environment. **The Context & The Problem** I currently own a pair of Bowers & Wilkins CM8 towers paired with an Audiolab 6000A amp and 6000N streamer. I love the design and the warm, full-bodied midrange of the B&W, but due to the new layout, I have absolutely no floor space left for towers. The issues I am facing right now: * **Placement:** Towers cannot sit on top of the IKEA Besta cabinet. They would be too cl...

So mom died in early March after a very brief illness. She was 95 and while it ***** that she's gone, I'm actually grateful I had that much time with her and she was living pretty much independently until her last years. BUT I was the only kid local, so for the past 22 years, since her 2nd husband, my step dad passed away, I was always the one helping her with day-to-day tasks. All the little repairs and phone calls about "GET OVER HERE I just bought a broasted chicken and it's so delicious....let me feed you tonight" to the "OMG the TV is broken beyond repair" calls and even the really not so good ones.....all of them came to me cuz I'm the only ki...

Is it common for contractors to eat in the home, store things in the fridge/freezer, use the icemaker, and take breaks on the homeowner's furniture without asking permission?

Ahhhh!! Yoooo!!! Wowza readers!!! I hope you have a great weekend. Let's kick it off with the next part to my short story, Swamp Camp! Enjoy what happens on the rest of day 1! WHOOO!!!! “Oh, me oh my! How’s it going ya’ll? Feeling good?” There were a few mutters out that replied. “Good! Now, I wanna get down with a few things. Ya know, the rules, the schedule and all that jazz.” While Mr. Spunkie spoke, Eric looks for Jazzie. He peeks behind his shoulder and finds her directly behind him. Eric shoots his attention back up at the front. A few frog and toad guides were up there with the sweaty man. “Our rules are pretty simple. You see the flags above me? Let’s read th...

I need some help with an office/gaming room I am trying to create in my home. The room itself is quite small, being about 300 cm x 198 cm. The image shows the room I'm dealing with. Right now I have a 160 cm x 80 cm desk and a 100 cm x 60 cm desk next to each other along the 300 cm wall. For my new interior, I was thinking of this awkward desk size of 145 cm x 75 cm. Two of them directly next to each other along the 300 cm wall. This leaves room for 5 cm behind the desk and 5 cm on both ends between the left wall and the desk and the right wall and the desk. A few notes and questions: 1. Are these desk measurement good to work with in this specific room? I thought about depths of 60...

We both drove back to the station and handed in our gear and changed. I could still smell the faint odor clinging to my uniform. I suppressed the urge to gag as I threw it back into my locker without any finesse, just wanting to get it off me. I changed into a pair of cutoff jean shorts and my UCSD hoodie. I bumped back into Felix on my way to my car. He was wearing that ****** Denver Broncos windbreaker like it was his best suit. He looked almost as exhausted as me. We both exchanged a tired “hey” to each other. “I’m going to Norm’s. You wanna come with? I’m buying.” I tried to let out a chuckle, but it only came out as a weak exhale. “That old place? Just this once… I...

I have this very nice wood cabinet with an open upper space with dimensions of 44.5" H x 44.5" W x 18.75" D. I am looking to buy a high-quality wood guitar stand that will fit into that open space and comfortably store and display hopefully as many as seven guitars, a combination of electrics and acoustics. Equally high priority to both aesthetics and functionality. The shelf in the pic is removable and is not an issue. Appreciate any pointers that you may have on possible sources for this. Hoping to buy a stock guitar stand but am willing to pay a reasonable price for a custom design if needed. Must be purpose-built for guitars, regardless, and must look like it belongs wi...

I am so ******* ******. I played this game for about 200 hours now. I almost always went the hard path for the furniture boxes. I always thought i have read something along the lines of "6 armor, breaks when armor depleted, unlocks new furniture when broken". I thought it will unlock new items which you can then buy in the store. Turns out, im ******* ********, now i read that it works like the moneybag, turning into furniture when you take it home. This game and its descriptions are just beyond evil when you have ADHD and interpret stuff into text before reading it thoroughly. ****.

These two locations account for probably 70% of foreign real estate purchases in Belize, and I get asked to compare them constantly. Both are beautiful. Both have investment potential. But they are fundamentally different places, and the right choice depends entirely on what you actually want. I am going to be honest about the downsides of both, because nobody benefits from cheerleading. ## The Basics **Ambergris Caye** is an island -- the largest in Belize -- located off the northeast coast. The main town is San Pedro. It is the most developed, most touristed, and most expensive real estate market in the country. Think of it as the Cancun of Belize, except smaller and less corporate. **...

I see these nice pictures on here. But for me I don’t even know where to start. I have a wooden dark brown floor and just grabbed an ikea furniture table that was pine. Looks cheap. I don’t have any furniture besides that and a bed in the bedroom. Do yall just buy everything and know what yall are doing?

Looking for advice (and an apt)! I'm doing a one (maybe two) year detail to DC starting in August. I only have 1000lbs allotment of items to bring (can pay for more), which isn't that much and I guess precludes most furniture. I'm keeping my apt here (in Seattle) and am going to try to sublet it/put stuff in storage if needed. How would you approach this? Find a furnished apartment for a year? I think those are hella expensive. Find somewhere decent and just go to Ikea? I think there are also some furniture rental services too? I have on average about $4k/month for (all) lodging expenses. That said, I'm looking for a one BR around Dupont/Adams Morgan!
