Who out there doesn’t love Ikea? Its super affordable, easy home decor and simple storage solutions are pretty commonly found in most of our homes. Let’s be honest, who hasn’t had something from Ikea in their home at some point in their life since college? Interior designers and homeowners alike, love IKEA decor.
Admittedly I feel like you have to be a bit particular, it’s not all as durable and long lasting as we might like. But bang for your buck, it’s hard to go wrong. Especially with all the customizing that people do these days to the basic pieces and the plethora of Ikea hacks at your fingertips on Pinterest.
Unfortunately I am not going to impress you today with a simple project that takes a modest IKEA decor piece and transforms it into something stunningly unrecognizable. I will try to work on that, haha. In fact, my major accomplishment for the week was pretty modest by most people’s standards.
I finally assembled and installed some super cute drawer inserts into my daughter’s recently refinished IKEA shelving unit. By myself! Not impressed? Well I had to use two screwdrivers AND a hammer…so I was pretty pumped. Even my hubbie thought I had done a great job so I made sure to give myself a thorough pat on the back.
It’s amazing to think that IKEA has been around since 1943. According to IKEA, they currently have 340 stores in 28 countries and have plans to open even more over the next few years. Although IKEA releases around 2,500 new products every year, some favorites like the Billy bookcase have stood the test of time. Did you know that the Billy bookcase is sold somewhere in the world every 10 seconds? That’s a lot of bookcases!
