DIY Donut Bar Stand from IKEA Lack table

I was graduating from business school in June and wanted to do something different for my graduation party. I love donuts and I wanted to make a display for them and found a few ideas on Pinterest. I found an old LACK table at home that was a little bit scratched and no longer in use so I decided to paint it and turn it into a donut bar stand.

I had a tester paint from the year before which worked out great. Small metallic gold triangles in the corners of the table made it look a little more glam.

Measure where the rods should go

I had some paper straws left from a birthday. They was perfect for the project to be used as rods for the donuts to hang from.

Measure where the rods should go

I measured the table so that all the holes were evenly spread out

Straw

I cut one straw and put it into another for extra strength to hold up the donuts.

My husband helped me put the straws into the holes.

The stand looked like this when the straws were in. The inflatable donut is a can holder for a hot tub or pool. I bought it in Glasgow. (Similar here)

Paper doilies

I found these paper doilies at a local shop, perfect size for donuts.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
