I Modify IKEA: Furnishings from Everyone’s Favorite Store, Customize for Your Home – 50 Fun & Creative Decorating Projects Review and Giveaway
When I was young I gave very little consideration to my dressers, bath mats, books shelves and all other storage items. As I have gotten older I have noticed that many times I find the items I am looking for but many times it is not the right color or there is a minor thing that could be changed for the piece to be perfect.
Often times this fact is driven home to me when I go to my local IKEA and I see the rows and stacks of boxes. I see those boxes, and dream of all the possibilities inside. From the colors, to the adding of elements – each piece really can be personalized.
When I received the book I Modify IKEA: Furnishings from Everyone’s Favorite Store, Customized for Your Home by Charlotte Rivers and Elysse Major for review it was clear that I was not the only person in the world that also sees this world of possibilities.

I Modify IKEA: Furnishings from Everyone’s Favorite Store, Customized for Your Home by Charlotte Rivers and Elysse Major is a full color book that features 50 different DIY projects for each room in your home.
Within these pages are step-by-step projects for the common IKEA items that include everything from bath mats, throw pillows, light fixtures and shelves to name a few.
While this book is not associated with IKEA, the inspiration of the store is everywhere throughout these pages. As I was thumbing through the book, I saw many projects that made me want to drive the 45 minutes south to my nearest IKEA, just so that I could execute some of these projects. Some of my favorites were a repainted/repurposed mail organizer from a napkin holder, a repainted candle holder and storage solutions.
Each project has a full color photo, materials needs, approximate time, the difficulty level, a diagram as well as written instructions.
If you want a creative way to up-cycle the otherwise plain items from everyone’s favorite Swedish store, this is the book for you!
