IKEA launches sweetest flatpack ever – DIY chocolate Easter Bunny

IKEA is famous for a lot of things like its super handy blue bags, funny furniture names and meatballs. But most of all, it’s synonymous with self-assembly. And now, IKEA launches its sweetest self-assembly flat pack. Ever.

A DIY chocolate easter bunny!

IKEA announced the VÅRKÄNSLA in time for Easter. Unlike its other flatpacks filled with pine or particleboard, this one opens up to 3 pieces of milk chocolate. Then, true to IKEA form, you’ll need to assemble it before you get to enjoy the end product — a tasty chocolate easter bunny.

But fret not, assembly is easy. No tools needed. And the only skill you need is the ability to delay self-gratification. Which is probably the hardest bit of the assembly.

Even your kids can assemble the milk chocolate bunny on their own. Once put together, the bunny can be used as Easter decoration. Or be eaten straight away! Chances are, the chocolate will be finished before the bunny is done.

The 3 oz. sweet treat contains a minimum of 30% cocoa and is made of UTZ certified cacao. That means it’s not only a tasty nibble, it adheres to sustainable farming standards and good conditions for workers.

So IKEA encourages us to “Go ahead, play with your food! That’s what this certified sustainable chocolate bunny is for. It’s easily assembled, only three parts. And when you’re finished playing, we bet you’ll enjoy eating it, too.” I think so too.

On the IKEA USA website, it sells for $4.29. I’m not sure if it’ll be available in any other IKEA stores around the world.

In some other locations (such as the UK and Australia), instead of the bunny, IKEA is offering a paper Easter Egg that can be opened up and filled with milk chocolate eggs or other sweets.

The VÅRKÄNSLA milk chocolate eggs come with hazelnut filling and cookie crumble.

Not quite as exciting as the DIY Chocolate Easter Bunny, for sure. Fingers crossed the bunny will hop over here.

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
