We live on an Island (which we LOVE)... but shopping Victoria can be difficult at times. We all, at one time or another pile into pick up trucks and vans and head over on the ferry to Vancouver to access stores like IKEA ,Restoration Hardware, Crate and Barrel, CB2 , West Elm...

3 different friends - completely unrelated (including Stacey) were on the loose this weekend at IKEA. 
That got me thinking of 
A: what I "need" (read: want) and
 B: how can I upcycle an IKEA piece into something different?!

The answer is that I really "need" nothing (nor another project!) so my friend order list was disappointingly small. We all accept and even <3 IKEA - standard living essentials!

But many of us do wish to make IKEA pieces uniquely ours....thus the IKEA HACK has evolved!

Here's some ( of millions ) of the hacks that have caught my eye. Try one and show us!
