Project #1 has been in the planning process for a while - we intentionally left our loft/master closet area kind of bare bones with the intention of customizing it later - well later is now. We installed an Elfa closet system two weekends ago - which worked GREAT, I was very impressed with the install simplicity - here a quick shot of that . . .
And this weekend was my desk/bench project which has gone through many guises until landing on a final design. Google Sketch-Up was priceless in my design work (oh yeah, it's free) - here's what I planned in Sketch-Up . . .
And here are some progress pix of the build - BTW, all done with products from the good folks at Ikea (Pronomen beech wood countertop material and Effektiv cabinets and doors) . . .
Also kicked off some painting projects - kid's rooms first, here's Addison's new paint job . . .
Alex's room is in progress - more to follow when done . . . oh, and our new starburst clock, and contemporary twist on a modern classic . . .
you've really been busy...everything looks fabulous...inside and out!

ReplyDeleteWe are thinking about an event in the net few weeks or so, we'll see.
so uh, what wine/cheese shall i bring? i know you drink wine, because i saw your wine fridge in the shot. great way to drop a hint! ~ love the way it's becoming a home for your family.
ReplyDeletejust a request, when you take pics of the living room shift your position a little so we can get a look of that super cool house in the background. you know the 3-story brown one with the stone....
;~)
I disvover your blog from ikeaHacker and I have a question, which software do you use to make indoor and outdoor plan ,
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hey Rob,
ReplyDeleteI love the innovation! The lower surface passing through the center support and creating an additional shelf is great.
- I'm just curious about how you fastened the horizontal surfaces to the vertical supports. Got any secrets?
- Are the main desk pieces anchored to the wall? And cut out around the molding?
Thanks for the scoop, I'm thinking of doing to do something similar.
