It’s IKEA. And it’s 3-D
I keep forgetting that furniture is three-dimensional. In the context that you can do more than just use it as intended.
Robin and I are currently working through a mutual frustration with our furniture, our storage, and our decorating style. Right now it’s a mixture of hand-me-downs, junk, and assorted odds & ends that we’ve either picked up on the fly as needed, or brought into the house on our own.
We’re working on getting rid of the junk & clutter, but it’s taking some time. In the meantime, I’m looking at different options for how to decorate with storage possibilities.
Everyone loves IKEA, right? Well…IKEA is good for certain things. Cheap, modernistic furniture? Yeah. Might not be at a cheap price, per se, but definitely not as expensive as many high-end shops.
At any rate…There are folks who don’t necessarily use IKEA as “intended”. Okay, okay, yeah, walking through IKEA shows you that IKEA doesn’t even use their furniture as intended…but painting it, using it as a balcony hardwood floor, or turning it on its side & attaching legs? Oh yeah. Bookshelves are now sideboards, and a TV shelf plus a platform turns into a Captain’s Bed.
