IKEA winter collection – subtle and classy

The IKEA winter collection includes decorations, lighting, gift wrap, cooking and baking supplies. They’ve gone for a luxurious, dark theme this year. I think it’s a nice break from the traditional red and green, though the look is not for everybody.

Hanging plant pot holders that are perfect for block candles too.

If you plan to get only one Christmas decor, get a wreath. IKEA has lots of options, all very adorable, especially the one with the squirrels.

Besides the usual holiday products like baubles, gift wrap and fairy lights, the winter collection also includes some subtle pieces, which you can definitely still use after the holiday dust settles. I especially like the throw pillows and blankets in deep shades of teal and plum. I just want to dive in and sip hot chocolate.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions.

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
