Insane Ikea Cabinetry Upgrade


While we all spend time dreaming of custom fitted kitchens and case goods, budget rarely allows for such luxury. That means Ikea cabinetry is far more common than custom cabinetry. That doesn't mean you have to settle for humdrum finishes and door styles, however. A Swedish company is changing the face of stock cabinetry, literally. Fair warning - make sure you have at least 15 minutes to spend picking your jaw up off your desk before clicking on this link!


Superfront offers doors, cabinet panels, legs and handles 
that are fitted expressly for Ikea kitchens and cabinet frames, 
and the results are tres belles, mes amis….









I personally need these legs on something in my home right now... 




Now the good news - they ship worldwide. 

You're welcome :)

10 Minute Large Canvas Art DIY


Happy Monday! Hope you had a fabulous weekend :)  Hockey madness has begun here - with two kids playing and a third swimming competitively, we are officially outgunned, lol.

What about that title? Sounds impossible, right? Well, what if you thought of your art as a place to simply add a bold splash of colour, and painted out a huge canvas in a solid shade? That's exactly what this is - a canvas painted out black, as found on Rue. It becomes part of the composition, grounds the whole wall, and functions as decor. Almost like colour-blocking a wall, but so much less permanent, and really, you could change this with the seasons if you wanted - a deep merlot for winter, a beautiful azure for summer, etc...





Thats about as much time as I have to make art these days! You? Thoughts?

trending: leather drawer pulls and door handles




 Leather drawer pulls/cabinetry handles are popping up more and more lately…




link 1 2 3 4 5 6



This would offer such a fresh look to a tired drawer/door, and it seems a fairly simple diy, right?

As I've been sorting out dresser ideas for our own master, this Ikea Malm hack is looking very appealing!






You can get the look without the diy with these leather, brass and bone Anthro knobs







If you are after something a bit more feminine, perhaps a pair of leather bows?







Something you would try?
