The Monday Morning Haiku #14

Don your vorpal blade -
Monday is the Jabberwock.
Can you slay it? Please?


How in the blazes is it Monday already?  Did I step into a time warp?  Did I spend the entire weekend talking to The Silence? Or did I “fritter” away the time with my family, IKEA, yardwork, Netflix, beer, and books? (Yes, the last seems most likely.)

Oh well, whatever the circumstances, I’m back here at work again, the kids are back in school, and everything’s pretty much normal again.  Hooray for the weekends – may I have a second helping please?


Ikea + Hacks = Custom Furniture or Work of Art

I heard about Ikea Hacker from Leo Laporte's & Megan Morrone's podcast Jumping Monkeys.  Ikea Hacker is a blog full of posts of people who have modified stock Ikea products to create unique furniture, decorations, and/or works of art. 

The hacks range from the simple (using hooks and a cabinet handle to create a space for hanging kitchen utensils) to the complex (creating an entire play kitchen for kids using the ivar storage system) and everything in between.

This looks like a great site to check out if you've been looking to add some flair to your furniture or living space.  You may not find something that fits what you're looking to do, but I bet you'll get some ideas from these modifications.
