Easy Elevated Pet Bowl Feeder: Raise dinner to a new level

When my dog was diagnosed with acid reflux, I wanted to feed him from an elevated pet bowl. But I couldn’t find one that was affordable, at the right height and had a removable stainless steel bowl. I already had a TJUSIG shoe rack and the dog bowls on hand.

Elevated pet bowl instructions: 

Follow the directions for assembling the TJUSIG Shoe Rack but omit 2 of the 3 interior rods on the level that you are using for the bowls. If you use the top level, the bowls will be raised 12″; if you use the bottom level, the bowls will be raised 5″.

How long and how much did it cost?

It only takes a couple of minutes to put together. The feeder costs $30 plus the cost of the bowls.

What do you like most about the hack?

There are two heights possible: one for little dogs or puppies and one for bigger dogs. And bowls are easily removable to clean but secure in the stand.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
