Moppe got his stripes with infusible ink transfer sheets

This wooden thing — the MOPPE mini chest of drawers — had been sitting in my craft room for years begging for a makeover. But I didn’t want to paint it because of the possibility of the drawers getting harder to pull out.

I used infusible ink transfer sheets instead. All in all, an easy makeover for the MOPPE.

Heat a heat press to 205 degrees Celsius (approx. 400 degrees F). Carefully place press on top of parchment paper and with no pressure let it sit for 60 seconds.

Watch it and if there are signs of smoke, remove right away.

After 60 sec carefully remove press and let the design cool. Don’t move anything.

After it has cooled. Remove the sheet and behold your transfer!

How long and how much did it cost?

It took me 45 min from start to finish. I bought the infusible ink transfer sheets for 14 euro. The other stuff I already had at home as mad crafter. 

What do you like most about the hack?

Now this piece looks like me! It’s not bland. It’s fun and invites to conversation and usage.

What was the hardest part about this hack?

Figuring out if the wood would catch fire. The was a bit of research involved.

What to pay special attention to?

Not shifting the design as it will leave shadows.

Looking back, would you have done it differently?

Using more tape to secure the design. There are many different designs of the sheets to choose from so you can really make this your own.

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.

Should You Decorate for the Holidays If Your Home is on the Market?

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but should your home reflect the joy of the season if you’re also trying to sell it? If you love to decorate for the holidays, missing out on this once-a-year opportunity might sound like torture. On the other hand, you don’t want to miss the chance to sell your home because of your decorations. So, should you decorate for the holidays if your home is on the market? We’ve got some “nays,” “yeas,” and “other considerations.” No, Don’t Decorate An elaborately-decorated home in Houston. Image: Regina Gust Designs Our first two realtors are against decorating for the holidays if you’re trying to sell your home. According to Anita Springate-Renaud, licensed partner and broker at Engel & Völkers Toronto Central , your festive decor can distract buyers from looking at the home’s raw design. “Elaborate decorations can distract and shift a prospective buyer’s focus away from what they should be looking at when shopping for a property.” So what should they

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
