Get this to warm up your next grocery shopping trip

Brilliant $0.99 shopping cart cup holder!

I came up with this IKEA hack and I get a ton of comments every time I pull it out. It’s pretty simple but effective.

Basically I never go anywhere without a hot beverage.

But when I go grocery shopping it is a real pain. For some reason, grocery shopping is a two handed sport.

So I thought there has got to be a product I can put into the buggy to hold my coffee while I shop.

I looked on Amazon and couldn’t find anything. Then it hit me……

I remembered seeing a SUNNERSTA container at IKEA and I thought it would be perfect. And it is!

I highly recommend keeping one (or two, in case your partner get jealous) in your car with your reusable bags.

Here is my shopping cart cup holder in action.

#1 Back of door makeup organizer

As she just moved in and did not yet have a makeup table, Ling decided to repurpose the space behind her wardrobe door. She positioned the SUNNERSTA rail and containers below the mirror to organize her makeup.

#2 Kitchen Door Storage

The goal was simple — to utilise as much space as possible in the cupboard under the sink. And make things they use a lot (dishwasher and washing tablets) more accessible. Ryan always liked solutions that were attached to the door, so here’s what he did to the kitchen cabinet door.

#3 Desk tidy

A simple space-saving desk tidy / organiser fitted along the side of the study table. All ready to fill with pens and pencils etc. Seen here are the BYGEL containers but the idea works just as well with the SUNNERSTA containers. See the desk tidy.

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, rig...
