Indoor plant needs light? Try this Plant Tray / Display with Light

Both my husband and I love plants, but there are a few places in the house that really don’t get enough light for them to thrive – so there was a bit of a brainwave. After picking up some cheap Fuku Bonsai, we found out that all they need is a few hours of visible spectrum light – which they can get from an LED lamp….and a hack was born! Everyone that sees it wants one – and they only take about 30 minutes to make one plant tray /display board at most.

Materials:

(1) JANSJÖ light with base
(1) FASCINERA chopping board
(6) Stick on cork feet to keep it up off the tabletop (and so you don’t have to countersink the screws).
(1) Fuku Bonsai from Aldi (or your local nursery)

How to make a plant tray / display board

Take the JANSJÖ out of the box. Throw away the base but keep the screws.

Drill some pilot holes and screw the base mounting screws through the bottom of the FASCINERA chopping board.

Add a few cork feet and you won’t have to countersink the screws at all. Plug it in, and that’s it.

We added a Fuku Bonsai from Aldi but you could add any small plant that needs a bit of daylight – a few hours a day will keep it nice and green and healthy even in a dim room – plus it looks pretty.

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.
