The hidden IKEA storage cabinet hack (it really needs a better name) is a trick we have used on more than one occasion to take advantage of those odd spaces that can pop up in IKEA designs. It is no secret that we love IKEA kitchens. The vast majority of their cabinetry is built to last and the organizational options…
It is no secret that I am a big fan of IKEA kitchens. Not only do I love having a cabinetry system that I can rely on for years to come, but there is also the abundance of IKEA kitchen organization and storage options available to customize them after they are installed. I’m not sure how many times I have…
The IKEA kitchen sale comes around three or four times a year, lasting roughly a month. In general, IKEA offers up to 20% off any kitchen items including cabinets, appliances, countertops, and organizers. The kitchen event covers pretty well everything kitchen related!

It resembles a farmhouse table.. so I’ll just stick with calling it the farmhouse countertop. If you think of a better name, seriously please comment down below! Once again we are back with another…
What’s going on homestudders! I have finally finished up a project that I have been dying to share- it’s the built-in BILLY bookcase hack. As you may or may not know, we have been hard at work renovating the basement of the Beige Bungalow, and one of the main projects has been a built-in BILLY bookcase. This project has been…
Too many people consider IKEA to be cheap furniture built for the college kid.
