IKEA Snudda Lazy Susan Chalkboard Cheese Board

I love IKEA products and I am always looking for ways to upgrade them and make them better. SNUDDA is pretty in its simplicity, but I just felt it needed something more and a cheese board, especially a chalkboard one, is so useful.

Whenever we have people over and when we’re entertaining, we always put out a cheese board. Everyone loves cheese, and you can get so creative with all the different cheeses available.

So creating a cheese board from the SNUDDA was an immediate idea that I had.

IKEA item used:

SNUDDA lazy susan

Other materials:

Chalkboard spray paint
Painter’s tape or any kind of tape
Some newspaper
White erasable chalkboard pen

Chalkboard cheese board instructions

Briefly, what I did was:

Sand the SNUDDA so it’s easier for the paint to adhere.
Tape up the parts I want to remain unpainted.
Spray paint the exposed areas with chalkboard paint. You may need a few coats.
Let paint dry thoroughly.
Write the names of the cheese and serve!

The full instructions for the hack in this blog post.

How much did it cost and how long did it cost?

This hack only took a couple of hours. It cost the price of SNUDDA and chalkboard spray paint – which was about $7 – that’s it.

What’s the hardest part of this hack?

The hardest part of this hack is waiting for the paint to dry!!

I love how useful this hack is! Now when I entertain I have a great cheeseboard.

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
