First sighting of LEGO IKEA collab – BYGGLEK

After the IKEA-LEGO collab announcement two years ago, we finally get a glimpse of the finished product, called LEGO BYGGLEK.

An IKEA store in Germany was too excited about the beloved brick range and went to launch early. However, after displaying the products over the weekend, they were promptly removed from the shelves.

No one knows for sure but rumour has it the official launch will be circa August to October 2020. And we’ll keep you updated when we get official news.

What’s IKEA BYGGLEK?

Fortunately for us, they were on display long enough for LEGO fans to snap up some photos. Photos have been cropping up in many LEGO fan sites.

As of now, we know the range consist of 4 items. They are listed below with their tentative prices.

  • Large box: 35 x 26 x 12 cm – 14.99 euros
  • Medium box: 26 x 18 x 12 cm – 12.99 euros
  • Small box x 3: 1 box at 17 x 6 cm and 2 boxes 13 x 6 cm – 9.99 euros
  • LEGO 40357 BYGGLEK brick box: 201 pieces – 14.99 euros

The large BYGGLEK box measures 35cm x 26cm x 12cm. The removable lid features a stud area while the sides have a small cut-out studded area.

Presumably, the box doubles as brick storage. I wished the boxes came with dividers for better sorting. Perhaps, an accessory later on?

The medium and small boxes feature the same design with only difference in sizes. They appear stackable.

The last item is a parts pack that contains a selection of parts and two minifigures.

IKEA describes the BYGGLEK range as, “This is not just a simple box with a lid – this is a treasure chest full of tempting game ideas; a house that you can furnish; a staircase, a kit for creative people. And much more if you want.”

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
