My customized HEMNES small bathroom vanity

I used the TÖRNVIKEN sink, TOLKEN countertop, and HEMNES vanity to create a style more customized to my taste! I added hardware from H & M and painted the HEMNES blue.

Materials:

TÖRNVIKEN countertop sink
TOLKEN countertop
HEMNES vanity
Knobs from H&M
Chalk paint
Polycrylic

Since they are all just IKEA pieces put together, my husband just followed the assembly directions.

I didn’t care for the sinks they sold with the HEMNES vanity, so I used a sink and counter they advertised with other vanities.

Cut the TOLKEN countertop to size, with an overhang on the front and sides.

I painted the vanity with chalk paint, so no prep was required. And then finished it with two coats of Polycrylic to seal it.

Take a look at these ideas for a small bathroom vanity

A style change for the white HEMNES RÄTTVIKEN sink cabinet with 2 drawers. Olga added trim to the cabinet and splashed on a new coat of paint to match her New England style bathroom interior. See how it’s done.

A personalized HEMNES sink cabinet with a pine board countertop and bowl basin. See the details.

For this project Clara used a RAST chest of drawers, a BLANDA BLANK salad bowl (28 cm) for the sink, LANSA handles, CAPITA legs, faucet and plumbing hardware. She extended the RAST chest, and made shelves for towels. See the tutorial.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
